1/48 YF-23 Black Widow II


Recommended Posts

Hi!

Here is my latest build completed in just two months.

It is the Hobbyboss 1/48th offering. Despite shape inaccuracies, the kit is still enjoyable to build.

Few parts, good fit.

I reworked some points:

- File down bumps forward the engine fairing on the upper side

- rescribe the too thin panel line

- add riveting

Paints are Gunze and varnishes are Microscale.

Decals from Caracal to depict the real PAV2 prototype, while kit decals are "what if".

Some pics:

Hi,

thank you guys!

Yes igor, I only used airbrush for painting.

Some more minor effects are done with the oil wash.

First the whole model is painted black using Citadel black chaos spray can:

Then light gray is painted in several layers:

Dark gray patches are drawn:
