Wings unlevel Posted October 2, 2022 Share Posted October 2, 2022 Superb work Dunny, looks utterly realistic and to me is reminiscent of the War Memorial’s Kittyhawk. And Lightning quick too! Gerard 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

From the same manufacturer as the artist’s acrylic paints I use, it’s their matt varnish. Thinned with a little, you guessed it, windex. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

81-er Posted October 2, 2022 Share Posted October 2, 2022 Well, Roger, what else can I say but WOW! Absolutely superb work on the paint (I love the colours as well), and the weathering so far is very tastefully done. You're setting the bar very high for the rest of us!

Dunny Posted October 3, 2022 Author Share Posted October 3, 2022 Hi All, A little work this morning - mainly adding fiddly bits, painting and decalling the props, exhaust staining, addition of antenna line, and just like that she's done! Here's a couple of teaser shots: I'll add some RFI photos to the GB gallery and will also post a separate thread in RFI. Many thanks to all those who have added kind words and encouragement - it has been much appreciated. Many thanks especially to @trickyrich and @81-er for hosting this GB - it has been most enjoyable as a first-timer, and I look forward to seeing more beautiful P38s being completed! Thanks for looking, Roger 16 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
