ringleheim Posted January 13, 2017 Share Posted January 13, 2017 Looking great! I was just looking at this kit along with Academy's 1/72 Avenger. Both seem like nice little kits. CANicoll 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CANicoll Posted January 14, 2017 Author Share Posted January 14, 2017 Not quite final on the HellDiver as still have lots of small bits to add in as well as the antenna mast and antenna wires, and I have to hit the flat coats still.

LSP_Kevin Posted January 14, 2017 Share Posted January 14, 2017 Looks terrific, Chris! Wish I had a simple 1/72 scale kit to work on right now... Kev CANicoll 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CANicoll Posted January 14, 2017 Author Share Posted January 14, 2017 Kev, I was really surprised at how much fun this little kit was. Along the same lines I picked up a Revell 1:28 SPAD VII today at my LHS. LOL But these 1/72nd birds are kind of fun. I'm thinking a Kingfisher next maybe.

CANicoll Posted January 14, 2017 Author Share Posted January 14, 2017 (edited) Assembly complete! Antennas are on, hit it with what I hope looks something like some random matt finish instead of full flat or full gloss. Weathering is next. This has been a fun build. Not as quick as I wanted it but definitely needed to use a mask for all of that glass. Not sure I want to do that again!!

mustang1989 Posted February 2, 2017 Share Posted February 2, 2017 I've seen 1/48 scale Helldivers that didn't look even close to that good! Great work on this and congrats on the win. I've got a huge amount of folks who can pull good work off in this scale. It aint gonna be me I can tell ya that!! lol Shaka HI and CANicoll 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
