HartDeco Posted June 30, 2019 Share Posted June 30, 2019 Hi all. My latest build is the Special Hobby 1/48 T-2E Buckeye. I choose the Greek Air Force camouflaged version. Especially the red and white striped rudder and tip tanks look very good in combination with the camouflage colors imo. Lots of rivets and panel lines were added. The model was painted with Gunze Aqueous paints over Alclad black primer. Thank you for watching. René 51 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kampartiger Posted June 30, 2019 Share Posted June 30, 2019 Don't really know why,but to me Greek Buckeyes are really eye-catching,maybe its the combination of the camo colours and the bright red and white strips.Beautifully done Buckeye! 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

72modeler Posted July 18, 2019 Share Posted July 18, 2019 That's about as perfectly built and finished model as you're going to see! I am sooo jealous...sure looks more warlike in the Greek scheme than the USN red/white colors. Well done! (If I can only do one half as well on the 1/72 kit....)

I always struggle with the vacu canopies supplied by Special Hobby and MPM. Thank you. This was my first kit with a vacuform canopy. I glued plastic strips inside the canopy to recreate the framing. When the glue dried (ca) I used the strips as a guide to cut the clear plastic. René Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nasosrr Posted March 28, 2020 Share Posted March 28, 2020 Now, it's been a while since this beauty was last complimented, but since I am now building the same model, I thought I could pay my respects for the amazing work you've done, René. Knowing what the kit looks like, I have to say that you've tamed it unbelievably well. Great model! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SAT69 Posted March 31, 2020 Share Posted March 31, 2020 Beautiful model. Someone advise please. Is the step in front of the windscreen exaggerated in that kit. I've looked at a lot of pictures of Buckeyes the step seems smaller in those. Other builds of this kit I've seen here have the same step and no mention of it being an issue, so forgive me if I've spoken out of turn. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
