CedB Posted March 1, 2021 Share Posted March 1, 2021 I started this one as I wanted a straightforward build. Little did I know I had a 'Friday kit' that suffered from some of the moulding problems Airfix were having at the time. Warped fuselage, excess plastic on the joins and in some orifices (nasty) and a hugely complex cockpit assembly were all overcome in the WiP: Done now though, finished in Colourcoats apart from the Hataka PRU on the bottom. W&N satin varnish and Flory black wash. I hope you like it 28 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stevehnz Posted March 2, 2021 Share Posted March 2, 2021 That did turn out well. I'm still a bit out on the Swift, they remind me of a Hunter's ugly step sister but built like you've done, it's turned out quite handsomely. Steve. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Spadgent Posted March 13, 2021 Share Posted March 13, 2021 Wowah. With all the Helichopper action I missed the RFI. She’s a stunner. I particularly like the wash. Brilliant. 👌🙌🙌🙌 Johnny 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
