clive_t Posted February 19, 2019 Share Posted February 19, 2019 Great modelling! For figures, it's possible - and a lot of fun in my view - to customise a figure to adopt the required pose. Simply cut the limbs (and possibly the head) at the principal joints, drilling holes for some soft metal wire to act as a joint, then filling, sanding and painting to suit. Give it a go! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not always right, but it came out well. The roundel colours were mixed from Tamiya acrylics and if anyone wants the mixes let me know. I’m afraid the undercarriage doesn’t move, as I say I committed myself when I completed the wing. 1/24 scale erks are few an far between, unfortunately. If anyone can help with that, I’d welcome being pointed in the right direction. I have a Tamiya Rally Car maintenance team that looks useful. A fine result! It would be really good if you could post the Tamiya mix you used for the roundels. I am sure many people would find it a useful reference.
