Big Kev Posted April 25, 2011 Share Posted April 25, 2011 (edited) Well, my 1/32 Hasegawa 262, originally intended to wear Galland's markings, has now been finished as a post-war Czech Avia S-92. I used a spare Trumpeter cockpit and added a bunch of scratch-built details into the wheel cavity, as well as scratch-building the nose wheel bay, landing gear retraction struts, and a bunch of other stuff. It also had a full rescribe. You can czech out the build thread for all the gory details, but here's a small selection of glamour shots for your enjoyment. It was a fun ride, but I'm glad it's over to be honest. Oh, by the way, the finish is meant to be silver paint, not natural metal. Thanks for looking!

chukw Posted April 27, 2011 Share Posted April 27, 2011 Don't worry, Kev- it's spring break in some places and folks are on vacation. I will say that this is downright purty! I just buzzed through your build log- wow! You really went to town here! The sheet metal stamps decals- that's pretty hard core- and the brass retraction strut is da bomb! Cheers, Maestro- this is a real winner. chuk Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Patrick_Nevin Posted April 28, 2011 Share Posted April 28, 2011 Wow, just a single comment? Here's another one (now that I've recovered from the debilitating jealousy of your awesome bare metal finish and the evident sleekness underneath.) Nice model, mister! :) Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Bigasshammm Posted April 28, 2011 Share Posted April 28, 2011 (edited) You know I never even thought 262s were used by anyone else. Nice to see them painted as something different and it's truly stunning. Nice work. Edited April 28, 2011 by Bigasshammm Quote Link to post Share on other sites
