Kitty Hawk 1/48 Bell AH-1Z Viper


Recommended Posts

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

Wow Jon, you really cranked this one out quickly! What a total beauty too! 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!

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.
