jonbryon Posted May 29, 2018 Share Posted May 29, 2018 A few people here shared photos with me that were very useful, so I thought I'd post the finished article. This is Kitty Hawk's 1/48 AH-1Z in kit markings for HMLA-367. The only aftermarket is Werner's Wings resin gun turret. The paint is Mr Color 308 and 337. The contrast between the panel line wash and the paint scheme is a little too stark for my liking, but I'm calling this one finished. A full build article and more photos can be seen here: https://jonbryon.com/kitty-hawk-1-48-bell-ah-1z-viper/ Cheers Jon Quote Link to post Share on other sites

What's next a -T or a -W? Four 1/48 F-4s... 🙂 I have done the -W (Italeri + Cobra Company) in the dim and distant past, and if someone made a decent -T I would be tempted. What we really need is a -G and a -J! Jon Edited May 29, 2018 by jonbryon Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Wafu Posted May 30, 2018 Share Posted May 30, 2018 Hey Jon, Saw this on BM. A really nice build of this modern subject, I think the panel line wash is just right. The one thing that makes it for me is the clean lines of no ordnance. Well done sir. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
