Popular Post Roman Schilhart Posted July 17, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted July 17, 2022 Dear fellow Britmodellers, here's my 1/72 Airfix Hawker Tempest Mk.V in markings of Wing Commander Roland Beamont, No. 150 Wing, based at Newchurch, Kent in June 1944. Painted with Mr.Hobby acrylics. Photos by Wolfgang Rabel. The model was built from the box. I added seatbelts from tape and whip antenna from stretched sprue. Airfix' decals are of excellent quality and settled perfectly onto the surface structure. I opted to paint the D-Day stripes instead of using the decals provided. Thanks for your interest, best greetings from Vienna! Roman 73 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Markh-75 Posted July 21, 2022 Share Posted July 21, 2022 Now that is immaculate! lovely job, I too always prefer to paint on invasion stripes, its not that hard to do and saves alot of faffing about with decals. I always take the easy route and messing about with things like invasions stripes is a nightmare, trying to make sure it sits properly, that it matches with the underwing and that both wings match, and when it comes to applying them as invasion stripes around a tail that nearly always has a tapering fuselage... No, I'll just mask and paint! 😂 I have Roland Beamonts book on my shelf , "My part of the sky", brilliant read and of course he went on to test fly many aircraft in his career including TSR 2 and the Tornado! A very fine example of a very noteworthy pilots aircraft, and a VERY unique aircraft; love it!👍 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
