sjelic Posted October 27, 2017 Share Posted October 27, 2017 Hi guys, just finished this one, I love this plane and had plan to do it for years but all old ones asked for to much work in order to make them look at least good enough. I liked kit, not too good, not too bad, but instructions....not good at all, some parts missing, no numbers or wrong numbers and I am not usual plane builder so I had even more problems. Decals are also not so good, specially stencils, very thick and very bad color, so in the end you only see border of stencil and lettering is gone. Painted with my own mix of Gunze and Tamiya and alclads for metal parts. Weapons, nose cone, pitot, PE and wheels are add on's Hope you like it....and I hope that flickr is working with pictures.

The Madhatter Posted October 28, 2017 Share Posted October 28, 2017 Well, despite the issues you had, it came out beautifully. It's not over weathered which I really like Very nicely done. I am looking forward to building mine one day Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Hi, thank you ;) Base colors are Gunze per instructions but non of them remained same, dark brown is backed up by flat earth from Tamiya, Dark green by Tamiya emerald green, yellow by some sand from Tamiya, light green again with Tamiya emerald plus white and bottom is Tamiya light blue that is not blue enough so I added a bit of clear blue, so all in all mixing a lot :) Quote Link to post Share on other sites
