PatW Posted October 13, 2016 Share Posted October 13, 2016 A big kit with loads of resin and PE parts. All parts fit well, no flash on the sprues. I chose the weatherbeaten, well worn look. I don't know why as my experience in this is very limited and looking at YouTube tutorials, my products are limited to spray and hand paints, and no powders etc. I changed the exhausts to alloy tube and added a clear blue to show the heat. If I choose to use the same look again I shall lay up fewer paint coats to rub through and also add a silver coat ontop of the grey undercoat for better reality when rubbing through the top coat.

Flynlo Posted October 13, 2016 Share Posted October 13, 2016 Nice! I always loved ths "art deco" look of these but it looks like a close-coupled nightmare to fly Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PatW Posted October 13, 2016 Author Share Posted October 13, 2016 Thanks Tim. Interesting to note, I looked on Google for worn look inspiration and found a YouTube of 6 (I think) of these flying in an airshow in New Zealand a few years ago!Very impressive!
