Stu Posted July 20, 2010 Share Posted July 20, 2010 Hi, My first experience of a Special Hobby kit. It was like going back 30 years in some ways and I have to confess chucking it back in the box about half way through wondering why I bothered. But after a couple of other projects and a bit of encouragement from another BM member who had finished one I dug it out again and persevered. The big stumbling block, for me at least, was the canopy which took some fettling/bodging to get fitted. It's OOB and painted with Tamiya acrylics mixed up according to recipes I found in different places. Thanks for looking Stu Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Davec_24 Posted July 21, 2010 Share Posted July 21, 2010 Sounds like you had your work cut out in building her, but she looks the biz! I like the "shadow" of the over-painted roundel on the starboard wing. Any chance of some underside shots? Well done for persevering and pulling her off.

jenko Posted July 21, 2010 Share Posted July 21, 2010 Best one you have done for a while! The faded paint looks just right....... how about doing a 5C??? Keep them coming Stu Dick ps. You picked the same scheme as mine. That means they can never be seen in public together! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
