bigbadbadge Posted August 11, 2019 Share Posted August 11, 2019 Hi all, I have been doing this for a while now (whilst taking part in the Frog Squad GB and still doing the house), it is a lovely kit and went together quite well. The model is depicted as an early marque with the Hawk rudder. The scoops and exhaust were hollowed out and the control cables for the rudder were added. The model was brush painted in Humbrol 24 Trainer yellow, yes it drove me mad and took six coats. The Engine cowling was painted in Humbrol metalcote polished aluminium, and buffed with a cotton bud and coated in several coats of Klear. Hope you like Thanks for looking All the best Chris 23 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stevehnz Posted August 12, 2019 Share Posted August 12, 2019 That is a lovely wee job Chris, the spatted under carriage & Hawk tail give it a certain elegance missing from the kit version to my eye. Steve. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stevehnz Posted August 12, 2019 Share Posted August 12, 2019 Just realised I meant to say from the Frog version rather than kit version. Does this kit come with options for the later tail etc or are SH too cunning for that? Steve. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hi Steve No worries, yes the SH kit contains the later pointed rudder in injection moulded plastic and the earlier rudder as fitted in Resin. I wouldn't mind another to do the later camouflaged machine as well. Nice little kit. Thanks and all the best Chris 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
