gunpowder Posted December 20, 2016 Share Posted December 20, 2016 This has been a nice fun cheap build. It is built straight from the box. The only things i added were basic belts cur from a brown envelope , Airscale instruments that i had laying around and a partial Aveaology sheet. I say partially as i was too heavy handed with them and ruined them. The only ones ledt were the "ZWEI" under the cockpit and the serials. The roundels are from the kit and the codes i masked and airbrushed on. Weathering has been kept to a bare minimum with only exhaust and gun stains airbrushed on. Took just over a week and the actual kit was only 25 quid , so its been a great build. So much less stress than adding extra detail. Mosquito and Spitfire next for the 1/24 collection! shbemo13, Whitey, R Palimaka and 8 others 11 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gunpowder Posted December 21, 2016 Author Share Posted December 21, 2016 (edited) Bear in mind i didnt build the engine and engine bay internals. That sped things up alot. That coupled with the determination to actually finish one! I will take some more photos using a real camera instead of my phone!

gunpowder Posted December 21, 2016 Author Share Posted December 21, 2016 Heres some more. I really didnt want that fantastic little Merlin to go to waste , so it will be painted up and sit alongside the Hurricane. Whitey and Fencer-1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
