MicTroy23 Posted December 8, 2021 Share Posted December 8, 2021 Greetings, comrades! A new addition to the shelf and one of the iconic planes has been painted. I think there is no point in telling about the kit, it has been known to many people since the old days, it looks fine to me... Since the decals in the kit were fictional, I decided to train in painting by choosing a prototype I came across a long time ago. Model modifications: made cockpit, door, sight glazing, finalized engine cowl (intake, machine guns, flaps, coupler, nozzles), finalized propeller, made landing gear recesses, finalized struts and wheels, made PVD, swashplates, BANO, aileron and tail loops. Painting: GSI Mr.Color urethane-acrylic, Tamiya lacquer, futura, +plain pencil. Decals from kit. Enjoy the ride! 26 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Old Man Posted December 8, 2021 Share Posted December 8, 2021 Nicely done, Sir. Whatever might be said of the kit's accuracy (and trust me, there's lots) this old Heller kit is so superbly engineered I would far rather build another one than any of the new modern ICM kits. Great model. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
