Tail-Dragon Posted June 3, 2019 Share Posted June 3, 2019 Here's my 1/48 HS-129 by Esci (not the newest or best, but it was a 'wear and weathering' experiment) Hope you like ...

Greg Law Posted June 3, 2019 Share Posted June 3, 2019 I would say the experiment came off very well. Very realistic to me. Well done. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hobo Posted June 4, 2019 Share Posted June 4, 2019 I always love to see the old kits. Brings back good memories. You did a great job on this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jackman Posted June 4, 2019 Share Posted June 4, 2019 I particularly like the weathering effect on the engine nacelles. Very good worn-off paint effect . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gary Brantley Posted June 4, 2019 Share Posted June 4, 2019 You've done a bang-up job on that old ESCI kit! I have one too, built years ago. I'm a bit embarrassed to show her now that I've seen this one! Very nice indeed!! 🍻 As an aside-I entered two tank models in a contest some years ago. The contest was also open to WWII ground-attack aircraft. On a whim, I entered my 129. As luck would have it, it was displayed next to a Hasegawa version of the Hs-129, built by one of central Texas most accomplished modelers, Milton Bell. Oh, man. His plane made my bird look like a push-toy that might emit sparks when pushed along the floor! In fact, this is his contest entry: http://www.hyperscale.com/features/2000/hs129mb_1.htm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tail-Dragon Posted June 5, 2019 Author Share Posted June 5, 2019 Thanks everybody, This was a quick, fun build just for the purpose of playing with the painting effects. I think I learned a bit from this that I will use on my future builds. As they say, one step forward ... Colin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
