Saddler Posted September 30, 2020 Share Posted September 30, 2020 Hi Folks, I’ve not posted my work(on here)for some time but would like to share my latest build with you. It’s Revells 1/48 fat face Skyraider. Picked it up for £10 from The Works website(uk) as I’ve always liked Skyraider’s but not been willing to part with Hasegawa prices. It’s the old Matchbox kit I believe and is lacking in detail with raised panel lines(which I re-scribed). Really enjoyed the build and fairly pleased with the result, the wing joints were a pain as was the ‘blue rinse’ for the rear glazing. Main paints are hataka lacquer for LGG and Tamiya white. I thought the hataka white was too dark. Quite pleased with the result but feel free to comment. 15 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jackson Duvalier Posted September 30, 2020 Share Posted September 30, 2020 That Matchbox plastic scrubs up pretty well. Your re-scribing looks great, as does the blue glazing-- I've yet to attempt such a bold tinting job. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its something I really struggle with. You've worked wonders with this old kit and made a silk purse from a sows ear. Cheers Pete Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cheers Pete Ta Pete, it's the first time I've tried it on an unbuilt model, which is much easier than trying on a built airframe. I used a Tamiya and a trumpeter scriber.👍 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
