Scale-Master Posted October 9, 2023 Share Posted October 9, 2023 (edited) Resin kit by Starter in 1/43rd scale. I built it straight out of the box with just the addition of the metal antenna, and I made the decals. I also made the vinyl top by brush painting/texturing it with acrylic black. The windows were sun-bleached to minimize the yellowing due to age.

Monty Posted October 9, 2023 Share Posted October 9, 2023 Once again, the WIP is well worth any modeler's time. Love the innovations (wing supports, brass wing, in-house decal replacement and panel line treatments). Question: are you basically using stippling to create the vinyl roof texture? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, once the paint is starting set a light stippling. But don't do too much or it will lift the paint right off. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
