I won't dwell on the kit too much, as I am sure it's been discussed on here by people more authoritative than me. But suffice to say it's a lovely, straightforward, nicely detailed kit. It's also TINY. So a great option for a short, wieldy build. All OOB except some wiring inside - which is even more totally invisible than usual...

 

Kit painted with Tamiya rattle cans - then I played with some dry brushing on raised frameworks, various oil paints - sap green, yellow, burnt umber - to vary the tones. I painted some wood grain and silver on wing roots and used marmite as a mask (maskol dried out). 

 

All of that was sealed in with a quickly brushed coat of Vallejo satin varnish. 

 

I finally used a thin strip of self adhesive aluminium tape on the cowling, and used some dust pigments on the walk areas of the wings. 

 

Thanks for looking!

Thank you Frank! There's not much detail to play with in the aircaft, but that makes it all the more fun to try! 

It takes little space on the display shelfs for sure...😆
