[AliGauld]

Hi There,

What can I say it's Arma. A cracking wee kit. The only fit issue I found was with the Canopy.

 

WIP Here

Primed with Tamiya Neutral Grey,

Painted with Colourcoats Sky Type S, Extra Dark Sea Grey, Dark Slate Grey, Light Aircraft Grey and Interior Grey Green.

Tamiya Rubber Black and Flat Aluminium.

Finished with Flory Dark Dirt Wash, Citadel Nuln Oil and Windsor and Newton Satin Varnish

Aerial Rigging Uschi Van Der Rosten Superfine.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Thanks for looking,

 

Cheers,

Alistair

Excellent work Alistair,does look a great little kit too.

Agree with all others, great looking model

Those camouflaged Wildcats with British markings always looked more interesting to me that USN ones
