leoasman 399 Posted August 11 Share Posted August 11 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! TenSeven, Out2gtcha, chrish and 30 others 33 Link to post Share on other sites

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 3,693 Posted August 12 Share Posted August 12 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 post Share on other sites
