leoasman Posted August 11, 2020 Share Posted August 11, 2020 Completed today and hung up in the back of my display case. Overall, a lot of fun to build. I really didn't run into many issues along the way. I did take some shortcuts on the interior as I knew it wouldn't be visible in the end. I added some waist/belly windows and also eliminated the ball turret and instead added a tunnel gun. Hope you enjoy! patricksparks, LSP_Kevin, Out2gtcha and 30 others 33 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s just Tamiya XF-15 Flat Flesh. I lightened it up a bit for the elevators and the ailerons. Otherwise, straight from the bottle. I did use some oil filters to modulate the tone during weathering.

Troy Molitor Posted August 12, 2020 Share Posted August 12, 2020 Cracking results. Most impressive efforts all the way around. Love the idea of a back ground too, in the display area. Most impressive. leoasman 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
