A few flaws in the painting, it had a bloom on the last coat of Matt varnish. Not sure what the cause was, but I’ve managed to (sort of) get rid of it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Harold55 Posted January 29, 2020 Share Posted January 29, 2020 I have to agree that it looks pretty good. Wonderful job on the cockpit and see no flaws in your first attempt at the airbrush! Very nice indeed. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wonderful job on the cockpit and see no flaws in your first attempt at the airbrush! Very nice indeed. That’s very kind of you. I was a bit disappointed with the cockpit, I spent hours painting and assembling it, dirtied it up with some weathering stuff. The instrument panel was really detailed. Then put it in the fuselage and put the canopy on and all the detail disappeared. Seems that a lot of our work on detail, disappears on assembly. But I guess it’s nice to know it’s there, and it is rewarding. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hairtrigger Posted January 29, 2020 Share Posted January 29, 2020 Great result.. Seat belts really make it. I wonder myself about the effort on detail you can't see. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The seat belts and tyres (which showed a flat spot, as per real tyres) were from Eduard. The parts for the plane went together really well, so much so, when I dry fitted the wings upper and lower surfaces I struggled to get them apart again. Nice touch was the inclusion in the kit of three steel balls, to act as weights for the nose. Great kit, well worth getting.

There's no going back now and practice practice practice! 👍 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
