Convair TB-58A Boomerang 1/72 Italeri


Recommended Posts

Managed to get my hands on a really really old kit.  This kit is over 30 years old.  All the parts are still there and the decals still work but has some issues like silvering.  As per kits that old, parts are a rough and not very detailed.  Had to spend a lot of time sanding join lines and filling in gaps.

Printed decals for the cockpit but realized that the cockpits will mostly be closed anyway, oh well.

Can you find a way to make the pictures available for viewing, please? Message from imgur.com says the pictures don't exist or are no longer available.

Wow, that is awesome!

I have a friend who is a particular fan of this plane's appearance (like a delta-wing with "added steroids", so-to-speak).

Aptly described IMHO, although I was unaware of the "Boomerang" sobriquet.

Your NMF is superb.  😮😎

What a beaut'! :goodjob:

Just I like a NMF model to be! What paint did you use? :hmmm:

 

Cheers :bye:

Underlying base was AV Air Chrome.

Then different layers of AK Polished Aluminium.  To get the shades I mixed the AK with Alclad Iron which is darker.

Thanks everyone for your encouraging words.
