Curtiss F9C-2 Sparrowhawk, Williams Brothers 1/32

Thank You.

 

It was my first major project using Testors water-based acrylics. Before that, I used enamels or lacquers only, especially for the gloss silver and yellow.

 

Normally I would have air-brushed the silver, but with Testors acrylics, I was able to hand-bristle brush.

 

The fuselage is flat light gull gray, the yellow wing uppers are acrylic flats, finished with Testors clear-coat, finishing it entirely by hand-bristle brushing.

 

The entire plane is brush-finished with Testors gloss clear-coat, which also seals the decals.

 

While you're at it feel free to check-out my recently posted Wildcat build:

Thank you.

 

For a biplane, it is very nice-no upper-wing-alignment issues!

 

In my case, I decided to build-up the machine-gun receivers since, as you know, their width is not correct.

 

In my stash I have seven Lindberg Curtiss Goshawk's-I need to build-up one.
