Martin1962 Posted November 2, 2021 Share Posted November 2, 2021 Can I just ask what colours you used please? I am about to start the Revell 1/72 and have a folding wing kit to use. The instructions are a bit vague on colour scheme for the RN version although it looks like sky at the bottom and a dark battleship grey on top. Would the grey be the same colour as the slightly later RN colour scheme (grey top, white underside)? Lovely model by the way!!! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shorty84 Posted November 2, 2021 Share Posted November 2, 2021 Wow, your work on this old kit is nothing short of amazing. Really impressive I guess all the modifications/additional details are scratch built (самодел)? Cheers Markus 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mixed the shades of paint myself, looking at the photos. On 11/2/2021 at 10:37 PM, Shorty84 said: Wow, your work on this old kit is nothing short of amazing.

Remus389 Posted November 7, 2021 Share Posted November 7, 2021 I love that the wing can be folded. Interesting model of an interesting, rare aircraft. This would stand out at any modelling competition, high chance of winning a prize. Thx! 😎👍 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Samuraiwarrior Posted November 7, 2021 Share Posted November 7, 2021 Fantastic model. I remember building one in my youth and not happy with the results. Just goes to show what can be done to end up with a beautiful looking model. Your skill, patience and ingenuity abounds. Respect. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seahawk Posted November 19, 2021 Share Posted November 19, 2021 As the English saying goes, "many a fine tune played on an old fiddle". I built this kit in the 1960s: I remember it as crude but with superb fit of parts. You have transformed it into something that can hold its head up next to its modern competitors. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
perdu Posted November 19, 2021 Share Posted November 19, 2021 Better by far than excellent, this is outstanding. Thank you for showing it to us. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thank you for showing it to us. Colleagues, thank you very much for the feedback! I've loved FROG-NOVO kits since childhood and will try to keep building them in a new hypostasis. I am currently working on the Republic P-47D Thunderbolt. Edited November 19, 2021 by MicTroy23 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
