Isak Posted February 8, 2019 Share Posted February 8, 2019 Hi New member here, this is my second model after a 20 year break. It is modeled after an aircraft from 332 (Norwegian) sq, flown by Alf Widerberg. Decals are from Vingtor, worked great. Built out of the box, added wine bottle foil seat-belts an IFF-aerials made of my wife's hair. Painted with Humbrol Enamels. I made a few errors, such as managing to get the wing walkway line over the upper wing roundels and the light mixed grey turned out almost as light as the medium sea grey, etc. Overall I'm still happy with it Constructive criticism is welcome.

Baldy Posted February 8, 2019 Share Posted February 8, 2019 Well that's a pretty good effort after a long lay off from modelling. Nice attention to detail and it's good to see that you didn't fall into the trap of orange rusty exhausts and red crowbars! I like your wife's hair - just right for the IFF aerials!

Cheers Malcolm Thank you. The exhausts are indeed rust red under several layers of dry brushed different metallic. Tried to achieve something resemling heated metal. I'm quite happy with the aerials, they are quite strong too 20 minutes ago, F-32 said: That's lovely work, really nice Thank you Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Greg Law Posted February 8, 2019 Share Posted February 8, 2019 Very nice build particularly as it is your second build. Like the idea of the wife's hair. That way you have got her involved and you might say on board. Hope you asked permission before obtaining it.😀 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
