desmojen Posted March 6, 2009 Share Posted March 6, 2009 Hi all! Apologies to those who may have already seen this over in the GB section, here it is again This is the Hasegawa 1/72 kit which I picked up very cheaply at Telford (£4 cheap). It is OOB apart from the decals which were donated by RichardE. There was need for quite a lot of filling and sanding, and the cockpit detail is dire (as is the canopy fit) but it certainly looks like a Prowler now! As well as the decals, I knocked up a pair of FOD guards since the intakes lack any depth or detail. The paint is a mix of Gunze Sangyo acrylic and Xtracrylix for the darker grey. Weathering wise, I have used preshading, postshading, oil wash, promodeller wash, pastels and oils! It's been an enjoyable little project - just a few minutes here and there whenever I could in between other projects. Now that it's finished I am pretty pleased with the look of it too Jen.

AnonymousER99 Posted March 6, 2009 Share Posted March 6, 2009 I like it a lot Jen!! The weathering is just right to me. Not overly done in the scale. Did you borrow Mikes pukey turquoise backdrop? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seamus Posted March 6, 2009 Share Posted March 6, 2009 Beautiful build Jen, I may have to pillage some of your pre/post shading techniques for my Super Bug when I get round to slapping some paint on Yet another great addition to the GB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dswoofie Posted March 6, 2009 Share Posted March 6, 2009 Fantastic, I like it so much I had to comment in here too Really love the weathering and shading job on it, really brings it to life! And those intake blanks are good too. It was worth hunting around for the pictures now Karl. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
