Reini78 Posted March 29, 2019 Share Posted March 29, 2019 Besides the Uruquay Hellcat, my dad continues the Latinamerican theme with a Mexican T-bolt, using the excellent Tamiya kit and decals from Aztec.

Dazzio Posted March 30, 2019 Share Posted March 30, 2019 I'll be interested in this. I built a Mexican P-47 a few years back, but it was in 1)72 scale. Be interesting to see how this one builds up. Kind Regards, Dazz 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Reini78 Posted April 14, 2019 Author Share Posted April 14, 2019 A primer from MRP used as base for the nmf finish. My dad mixed Tamiya XF-9 Hull Red and Gunze H47 Red Brown for the purple stripes but it turned out too brown. Gonna apply a new mix of Red and Hull Red.

Sometimes my dad's old eyes oversee things...he did some sanding again and now it looks better. Also Tamiya molding isn't always the best.. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
