AliGauld Posted October 27, 2023 Share Posted October 27, 2023 What a fantastic kit. Any issues and errors in the build were wholly down to me. I thoroughly enjoyed this one as my first ever 1/32 completion. Primed with Mr. Finishing Surfacer 1500 Black. Painted with, Colourcoats Interior Grey Green, Light Slate Grey, Dark Sea Grey, Dark Slate Grey, Extra Dark Sea Grey, Sky Grey, FAA/RAF Yellow, White and Bomber Night Black. Tamiya, Flat Aluminium, Rubber Black, Nato Black, Dark Iron, Gun Metal, Clear Red and Clear Green. Xtreme Metals Steel, Burnt Metal and Jet Exhaust. Washed and filtered with various Windsor and Newton oils. Finished with Windsor and Newton Galeria Matt Varnish. Aftermarket. Yahu IP and AIMS Rigging. Master 0.303 Browning Gun Barrels. I have subsequently painted the pitot tube in silver as I'd forgotten before the pics were taken. As always, Thanks for looking, Cheers, Alistair 68 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
