azureglo Posted April 30, 2019 Share Posted April 30, 2019 Finished my self imposed one month posting and forum hiatus but still got this one done for April and my seventh for the year: A sweet but full of casting /moulding flaws kit from Anigrand. I scribed and riveted the surface, Alclad and Mr Color for a "Man in the High Castle" vibe. Decided that post war the victorious Luft '46 boys would have dumped the camo and gone full shiny. Scratched an exhaust and throttle body to distract from the strange oval hole Anigrand presented, then made up some aerials for radar/drone use and drove myself crazy gluing 0.1mm nickel rod. Decals from various Skys sheets and spares box. Fun was had and no styrene was unnecessarily hurt. WIP here: 23 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jonny Posted April 30, 2019 Share Posted April 30, 2019 Very impressed! A really super finish, just enough detail visible in the cockpit to make it look ‘real’. Jonny 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jonny Thanks Jonny, hopefully all the aerials will excuse the lack of pilot ( who would need to be an emaciated midget to fit) on the grounds it may be a drone...
