Redboost Posted July 26, 2022 Share Posted July 26, 2022 Hi fellow modellers, this is my second attempt at the Arma Hobby kit, this time in the recon version. The markings was chosen from the box and it depicts Lt. Col. E.O.McComas machine flown in late 1944 over China. The was painted with Gunze SM and Aclad II shades. This time I can't avoid using some aftermarkets: Eduard direct print of the exhausts and resin wheels. The opened canopy sections were replaced for vacformed items I scratch built from a clear foil.

Spitfire31 Posted July 26, 2022 Share Posted July 26, 2022 Could be an excellent 1:48th, or why not 1:32nd build. Superb modelling! Kind regards, Joachim 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jackson Duvalier Posted July 27, 2022 Share Posted July 27, 2022 Do you ever have a crappy build or a kit that outfights you, Libor? Or do you simply refrain from mentioning them? 🙂 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Val_Ukraine Posted July 27, 2022 Share Posted July 27, 2022 Should I repeat that she looks like 1/48th or 1/32nd? Yes, I should! Another ordinary outstanding job by you, Libor! 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
