Tomahawk MkIIb - Airfix 1/72


Recommended Posts

I received this kit free with a subscription to Airfix Model World, it is very nice to build but perhaps a little too small for my piggy fingers. The seat straps are Tamiya tape and I broke one of the guns off so replaced it with a bit of brass rod - see if you can spot it. The panel lines were pre-shaded, something that I have never really taken to or got right - although I got the underside to my liking I used a pin wash on the upper side. 

The base is home made, my ten year old daughter and I knocked it together in 15 minutes from mounting card, a paint pen and some airbrushed greys and brown to break up the tone. The oil leaks were created with Tensocrom Oil colour.

Very nice indeed!

I like the simple (yet ingeniously-made) base too.

It's a nice little kit and you have done it deserving justice.

Nice to hear how your daughter got involved in the project too!

:goodjob:
