Rabbit Leader Posted November 7, 2022 Share Posted November 7, 2022 Super impressive and beautiful overall craftsmanship. I reckon if colour photos of this aircraft ever existed, it would look exactly the same as this immaculate representation. Cheers and very well modelled..

Lovely subtle weathering too - beautiful job. Tom What Tom said 👍 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cees Broere Posted November 7, 2022 Share Posted November 7, 2022 Fantastic, but then again I’m a Halifax freak. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
georgeusa Posted November 7, 2022 Share Posted November 7, 2022 This is a different take on the Halifax. I am envious on how well you can do yellow undersides, how realistic it looks and the weathering is superb to boot. To me a yellow finish is harder than a metallic finish on getting it to look realistic and not like 15 coats have been painted on to get complete coverage. Thanks for sharing. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks mate, not sure what's next although I've dug an Azur FW58B out of the cupboard of doom to finish off but tempted to start the new Airfix Annie, it looks gorgeous. 20 hours ago, georgeusa said: This is a different take on the Halifax.

Thanks George, I agree about the yellow, it is very transparent. The way I got round this problem was to lay a base of white down first then mix a bit of white into the yellow. This was in part to dull it down, but in part to improve the opacity. 23 hours ago, Cees Broere said: Fantastic, but then again I’m a Halifax freak. Looking forwards to seeing yours and Toms 1/48 ones finished at Telford so you should be busy this week 🤣 See you there mate On 11/7/2022 at 4:21 AM, Rabbit Leader said: Super impressive and beautiful overall craftsmanship.
