HartDeco Posted June 23, 2019 Share Posted June 23, 2019 Hi all. This is my second build I'd like to show you today. It's the 1/48 Accurate Miniatures Vindicator. The kit is quite well detailed for the scale but has a couple of snall sinkholes on the rear fuselage that are a bit tricky to fill without damaging the surface detail. The kit was built straight from the box and Alclad metal paints were used over a black primer from the same brand. The yellow and green parts were airbrushed with Gunze Aquous paints over a grey primer. The kit decals were used and setteled down pretty good, with the help of some setting solution. Thank you for watching.

Amo Aero Posted June 26, 2019 Share Posted June 26, 2019 What a beautiful model of a beautiful aircraft! Excellent photography too! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark Joyce Posted June 26, 2019 Share Posted June 26, 2019 I thought I had replied to this post but apparently I was wrong. That being said, this is one superbly built, painted, and weathered Vindicator. It's very convincing and realistic. Cheers, Mark 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Terry1954 Posted June 26, 2019 Share Posted June 26, 2019 That is a superbly built example. I really like that a lot! I built a Special Hobby 1/72 Vindicator a year or so ago, but I must say in 1/48 it looks so much better! Thanks for sharing Terry 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NorbertBu Posted June 26, 2019 Share Posted June 26, 2019 Despite the bright Colours this model does not look like a toy at all. You have done a great Job with the weathering, exhaust stains and the used look! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Red Dot Posted June 26, 2019 Share Posted June 26, 2019 Certainly colourful. Nice one Rene Andy 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
28ZComeback Posted June 27, 2019 Share Posted June 27, 2019 (edited) Several years ago (1989) I attempted in 1/48 to build each and every plane on the USS Enterprise as depicted in the 1939 Life article in full color. I assembled the TBD, Curtiss Seagull, early F4F, Vindicator, SBC-3 Helldiver and SBD. It took me ten months to sand off the raised lines from the TBD, add a new interior, drop the flaps, and I finally gave up. This kit has definately re-kindled my interest in the long-shelved project.
