LorenSharp Posted December 30, 2021 Share Posted December 30, 2021 MY final build for 2021 Collect-Aire's 1/48 XYF2Y Sea Dart. For the most part straight out of the box I did print new bang seat, cockpit panels and afterburner cans. The striping was masked and painted(more than once) [/url The WIP can be found here: Thanks for stopping by and having a look see. All comments, suggestions and general mayhem are always welcome. So until next year. Keep on modeling! 25 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With all the test aircraft subjects on the shelf its turning into quite the menagerie. 14 minutes ago, ejboyd5 said: I'm overwhelmed by the complexity of the masking. Well done. Thanks! There were a bunch on redos on that masking for sure. But eventually got it to sort itself out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It does seem to want to sneak up behind you to smack you up the side of the head all the while screaming.... "I'm Here!" Still trying to fathom what they were thinking when they did the paint job. But it was San Diego in the early 50's, so go figure. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
