Shide58 Posted July 3, 2021 Share Posted July 3, 2021 One that was completed quite a while ago. A Westland Wyvern off HMS Eagle during the Suez Crisis. Trumpeter kit, as with most of my builds, straight out of the box with the exception of a pilot figure. A slight deviation from the kit decals was that I used the fuselage 'bee sting' stripes but airbrushed the wing stripes. She's a big beast, last pic is a comparison in size to a recent Spitfire XIX build. 19 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tbolt Posted July 6, 2021 Share Posted July 6, 2021 Love finish you've got there. Great work on getting the wing stripes to match the decals. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks, it was ...erm....painstaking! Luckily the narrow Tamiya tape is just the right size for invasion stripes in 1/48th but it took days of spraying, drying and masking. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
