jesTer Posted August 11, 2020 Share Posted August 11, 2020 Build 7 of 2020 is a straight build of the RAF's unique/strange turreted interceptor from WWII. Except for the upper to lower wings fit, everything came together very easily. All done with acrylics and weathered to taste with acrylics and oil paints.

ChernayaAkula Posted August 13, 2020 Share Posted August 13, 2020 Nice one! Really like how the topside camo turned out. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I overdid the chipping so I spent some time toning them down. Luckily the end result is OK. 🙂 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
dogsbody Posted August 17, 2020 Share Posted August 17, 2020 (edited) Nicely done, but both ailerons shouldn't/wouldn't be down at the same time. They could both be in the neutral position or one up and one down. Also, no yellow on the prop tips? Chris Edited August 17, 2020 by dogsbody Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Some thing to watch out for in my next builds. Good catch! I missed out on painting the prop tips. 😛 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Yes it is. But I picked the wrong decals to use. She's not wearing the Battle of Britain markings. Yes it's the Hasegawa RAF pilot from the WWII pilot set. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
