At Sea Posted November 25, 2020 Share Posted November 25, 2020 Here is my rendition of the AM kit. I built it mostly OOB with Eduard seat belts and some spare bits from Eduard Spitfires to add cockpit detail, I painted it using Humbrol 64 Light grey, then patchily airbrushed US Olive Drab over Light Olive to give some tonal variation. The kit decals were mostly un-usable so I recruited some Eduard US insignia and stencils for the P-51D kit. I then used the brilliant Mig Ammo Oil Brusher steel to highlight opening panels and Starship filth to add some exhaust and oil stains. I kept the weathering restrained as this particular airframe had additional markings added once in theatre, so to appear like this it would have been factory fresh.

My Work in Progress is here: It's very good for a kit from a small manufacturer in the mid 1990's. I'd say it is on a par with the Airfix 1/48 Spitfire Vb or F22/F24 Seafire 46/47. No real issues but the wing joint took some filler and a bit of intelligent test fitting was required. I debated building the engine cowling or fitting each half to the fuselage sides, in the end I built and fitted it separately. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
