WarhammerAdjacent Posted November 3, 2021 Share Posted November 3, 2021 Hi all, I'll admit to start with that I'm more an armour man than an aircraft modeller but I dabble, I think this is my 6th one to date. I wanted a bit of a change and ideally a straightforward build that wouldn't take too long. The kit was lovely, hardly any messing around with seam lines (although I spotted one I missed as I finished it off which is always annoying) and the details are lovely. The only issue I had was with the decals which refused to stick and crumbled off so I had to mask them, clean the surfaces and then paint them using a set of stencils I cut. Overall a fun build and now I'm eyeing up some other aircraft kits for some point in the future. Enjoy. Oh, I need to find a much better way to display the undersides of aircaft! 59 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, we all need that, perhaps we should go back to posing them on mirrors? It still looks very good though. A fine model all round. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gazza l Posted November 8, 2021 Share Posted November 8, 2021 Very nice work and well photographed. What paints did you use? The dark earth/green look spot on. Shame about the decals, I think these have now become a weak point in Eduard kit. gazza l Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WarhammerAdjacent Posted November 8, 2021 Author Share Posted November 8, 2021 Thanks. The green is Tamiya XF81, the Brown is flat earth with a drop of Khaki (about 5-1 Brown to Khaki). The underside is Tamiya Sky with a little white. It was particularly annoying as I've used the decals before and they were fine. I might test out the spares on some scrap and see whether there's a process that works. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
