This is the Box-Art of the kit Little artistic License with this Photo-color Painted in Gunze Grey and Alclad Metal colors Added Some Photo-Etch Hatch Wheel and some MV Lenses A little Challenge to build .but nothing Horrible. Raised rivets replaced with Archer Rivet Decals. Thanks for Looking Comments Always Welcome Cheers Bill D 36 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stephen W Posted November 19, 2020 Share Posted November 19, 2020 Lovely build and love the design of this, reminds me of Art Deco or something you would see in a game like Bioshock! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fixer Posted November 23, 2020 Share Posted November 23, 2020 When I saw an inbox of this kit somewhere, I was not impressed with the quality. but you achieved very nice results. What paint did you use on the "chromed" parts - especially the ladder and upper hatch? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I used Alclad Stainless over Gloss Black for the Front Grill and Uschi powder Chrome top buff up the Grill lines. Thanks Again Bill 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PatW Posted March 14, 2022 Share Posted March 14, 2022 Looking good! I've just had one delivered today and hope to start it tomorrow. It's had a good soapy wash and clear water rinse, so ready to go! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Uncle Monty Posted April 1, 2022 Share Posted April 1, 2022 Excellent work on this, the paint looks suitably shiny and retro. I like the design, like it came straight from a 1930's Detroit World Fair or something similar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PatW Posted May 26, 2022 Share Posted May 26, 2022 Update I've failed Bill! I couldn't get the interior to fit and glue the two haves of the fuselage together so I shaved down the edges of the interior floor sides etc. No it still doesn't fit! So I glued the two halves of the fuselage fitted everything except the side windows as they were too big. I should have tried to fit them inside (but the instructions said outside) or used a thinner strip of clear plastic to cover all each side as one. The windscreen took a lot of shaving down but finally fitted. I've painted it matt light grey and added the decals, but it looks bad, so no pictures Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
