oortiz10 Posted August 31, 2017 Share Posted August 31, 2017 (edited) Hey ARC, Here's the second installment of my Pacific Warriors mini group build. (You can see Part 1 here.) It's Tamiya's jewel built as a FG-1D using the old Superscale decal sheet. The decals are supposed to represent Lt. Col. Donald Yost's plane, but the markings don't seem to be accurate. Still, I used the decals to build my kit. I used the decals to create some masks and painted on the stripes and squadron markings. The national insignias are actually the decals from the sheet. Aside from resin wheels, seat, and flaps, the plastic is out of the box. The only modifications I made were to create a new light for the spine, new wingtip lights, and a new light for the tip of the tail. Everything's painted with Testors and MM enamels and weathered with pastels and Flory washes. Here are a few pictures for you to enjoy. I didn't shoot as many as my Hellcat because it was tough to photograph with the folded wings blocking a lot of the view and light. Still, here you go... I'm happy with another solid 3-footer to add to my collection. Thanks for looking! Feel free to question, comment, or criticize. Your feedback is welcome. Cheers! -O Edited August 31, 2017 by oortiz10 Repair of broken photo link Quote Link to post Share on other sites
