SimonL Posted December 18, 2019 Share Posted December 18, 2019 This was meant to be a quick out of the box build - which then sat on my bench for months. With the start of the holidays I managed to get it finished - my first completed kit since February 🥺 Completed straight from the box with the kit decals, brush painted with Tamiya acrylics. Minimal weathering as I gather they kept these aircraft very clean in the 1930’s. Thanks for looking.        32 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
noelh Posted December 18, 2019 Share Posted December 18, 2019 Very nice. Yes they were kept clean in the thirties and as those markings represent the Shuttleworth Gladiator. Clean is the most accurate. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KevinK Posted December 19, 2019 Share Posted December 19, 2019 Also, the original Inpact 1/48th kit has the same markings. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bigglesworth Posted December 21, 2019 Share Posted December 21, 2019 Luvly! I'm a big fan of clean aircraft, whether that's because the originals were kept that way, or because they came that way from the factory. Could be that I'm too scared to weather my models, but I build 'em clean. Cheers! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
