SIA SF-260 [1/72 Special Hobby]


Recommended Posts

After the build of the Kinetic T-45 I  wished a more simple kit

This time I choosed the 1/72 SF-260 from Special Hobby


If this kit have only few pieces, I think it should not be very simple to build like some other Special Hobby Kit.

At this time I didn't choose the scheme.

I hesite between two schem
The grey scheme of 70 Stormo

The yellow scheme with it shark mouth of the 5eme escadrille

That looks like a little stinker. After reading reviews of this & the AZ one. I thought this is the one to go for, now..... :shrug: 

Your later photos look far better than the early ones so you are obviously winning the struggle. Keep at it. :)

I started the paint
The difficulty is the size of the models. All is little, very little

I spend the same time to mask the model that a bigger model

 

For the yellow I used the H413 gunze paint with a little drop of H034 paint (only a little drop for 15 parts of H413)

For the red I used the Insignia red from AK Colors

The next step : paint of the engine and set the decals

The decals

The decals sheet give more 60 decals for this tiny machine

 

They were very fine and I encountered no problem during the set process

I´ve overlooked your SF-260 until now. Nice work so far, you handled the fitting issues very well. The belgian livery suits the aircraft very well.I built the kit twice last year and I can feel the pain again looking at your pics.🤪
