Airfix 1/72 Tomahawk.....nice little kit

[Saddler]

Hi All and Seasons Greetings,

My latest build is an Airfix 1/72 Tomahawk built virtually OOB apart from new wing gun barrels from 0.5mm brass tubing and some aerial wires from fishing line. This was a nice build with no major problems, bought it at Aldi about four years ago. The Azure and Dark Earth is Vallejo Model Air and the Middlestone is AmmoMig acrylic. some pastels and dilute colours were used for weathering.  The photos unfortunately show how my canopy masking sucks 😪

Constructive comments welcome as usual !!!

 

Next up Hasegawa SH-60B

Very IMPRESSIVE  and STUNNING model.

Very nice, I think I'll have to add one of those to the list.

Very nice. I just remembered that I have one of these in the deep stash.

Nice work indeed and a subtle use of the camo paints.

 

Something to do with that thing called 'scale effect'.

That looks quite nice to me. As for the canopy, the masking doesn't look too bad. What I would have done is paint it the interior colour first and after that had dried, paint the exterior colour. Right now, you can see light coming through the paint.

Well done on your Tomohawk. 👍 And in the best Camouflage as well.
