Swashplate Posted August 16, 2018 Share Posted August 16, 2018 https://flic.kr/s/aHskD2BGxc I really enjoy the Trumpeter kits. I pulled this one off the shelf this evening to dirty up the base, and add wheel chocks. An uneventful build for sure. They provide a detailed engine, but no way to display it (Unless your willing to do a little surgery yourself) As always, the base is 3/4" plywood covered with hardwood floor sandpaper. I airbrushed the base coat, and lines using Testors Model Master enamels. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
