AliGauld Posted October 26, 2021 Share Posted October 26, 2021 This is an exquisite resin kit which I have not really done justice to, but here it is. Primed with Tamiya Neutral Grey. Painted with Mr. Color Gloss Black, Tamiya Red Brown and Rubber Black, Xtreme Metals Polished Aluminium. Finished with Mr. Color Super Clear III Gloss. I had a little trouble with the transfers which were extremely thing and didn't like much manipulation. Looks good in the cabinet though. Thanks for looking, Cheers, Alistair 51 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Natter Posted October 27, 2021 Share Posted October 27, 2021 G-ACSS looks beautiful in its red and white plumage, but the black and gold of Black Magic knocks it out of the park. I'll bet your model does look good in the display cabinet as it looks stunning here. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RichieW Posted October 28, 2021 Share Posted October 28, 2021 I think you've done a great job, it looks fantastic. The DH88 is such an elegant aircraft and your lovely gloss black finish really enhances it. Richie 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr T Posted October 28, 2021 Share Posted October 28, 2021 That's a very nice model. The SBS kit is very good, although as you say the applying the decals can be a trial. I built one as CSS when she was in the hands of the Air Ministry and was pleased by the result. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ray S Posted November 1, 2021 Share Posted November 1, 2021 What a result! I would dearly love to do one of those by SBS, having previously enjoyed the Airfix, Frog and KP versions it would be good to save the best 'til last! That would look good in anyone's cabinet.
