Grey Ghost 531 Posted February 11, 2017 Share Posted February 11, 2017 Way nicer than I can do, but, since this is the critic's corner and I'm allowed...I'd have used a lighter colored wash in the panel lines. I mix a color just a little darker than the actual paint. But like I said, it's a better model than I can hope to accomplish. I especially like the "in flight" photos!! The weathering on the cowling is really nice too. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
JackMan Posted February 13, 2017 Share Posted February 13, 2017 Very nice build. Great photography too. I love that last picture with the spinning props Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Steve N Posted March 26, 2017 Share Posted March 26, 2017 Nice work. I like that you didn't go overboard with the weathering. The PH strike aircraft were fairly new, clean and very well-maintained, but many modelers insist on making them filthy and beaten up. how did you do the folded aft canopy sections?

I replaced the overhead one with a piece of foil. I sanded and polished inside the front and rear part of the canopy to make them thin enough to fit one inside another. Frames are made of decal stripes. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
