cger Posted November 24, 2018 Share Posted November 24, 2018 (edited) Hi all, here are a few pics of a build I finished during the Christmas break. It is the Special Hobby kit in 1/48 scale. The kit is rather typical Special Hobby, an interesting subject but definitely short run. I build it from the box as the well-known 'Home James'. Following discussions on the Aussie Modeler forum, I choose to represent the lighter colored panel on the right side as plywood, the wood grain done with oil paints. The kit was riveted and the engine cowling was widened by about 2mm by adding a styrene strip, otherwise the resin engine does not fit. The paints are Gunze acrylics, I used H 302 for Foliage Green, H 317 for Sky blue, and a custom mix for Earth brown. The weathering is done with Mig Ammo washes and thinned airbrushed coats of acrylic inks on the panel lines. I tried also to reproduce the paint burned by the exhaust gases with coats of very thin paint. I hope you will like it, best, Christian.

Baldy Posted November 24, 2018 Share Posted November 24, 2018 Very nice! I like some of your weathering effects. I would perhaps had made the finish a little more matt. There is something appealing about the Boomerang and this is a very nice model. Cheers Malcolm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Greg Law Posted November 25, 2018 Share Posted November 25, 2018 That's a grubby looking fallow. Looks like it as just been through one of those nasty tropical storms they have up there. It really has the feel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Josh G Posted November 25, 2018 Share Posted November 25, 2018 Fair dinkum, that's a beauty, the Margot Robbie of models. I'm either doing this or the Zvezda 1/48 Yak-3 as my next build and this has got me more excited Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
