CANicoll Posted January 12, 2021 Share Posted January 12, 2021 FINALLY! Sorry for the huge delay. This one has been done for a while, but I've been neglecting the photo side of things. Here are a few now that she's in the case... You can find the build thread here. The replacement Eduard resin spinner and prop arrived (well, the new spinner and baseplate) so I had to alter the already-glued props to the hub to make the prop diameter wider to clear the wider spinner. I didn't quite get the spacing right on one of the props... BUT! I did finally get the spinner properly painted! And yes, the main gear doors are UP. Little bits of red decal cover the gun ports. Irregularly shaped as I've seen in some pictures. View of those beautiful AMUR flaps and that crystal clear Aerocraft Models canopy by @Ali62. Talk about a huge difference from the kit parts. Decals are from Kits-World for the nose checkers and Passion Wagon markings. And the Revell Cockpit, augmented by lots and lots of Barracuda plaquards and stencils, Tamiya bits, Eduard bits and bobs. Not to mention a CMK resin seat and Radu's worn cockpit floor decal. I think there is more money in the cockpit aftermarket than the cost of everything else on the plane... One of these days I'll get around to doing a weathered and faded aircraft again... Thanks for looking and I hope you enjoyed!

Good question Chris. I've several others on the go at present, including an Italeri Starfighter, a Bu 131, and a couple of 1:48 Fishbeds: so it may be a while, I fear. mpk and CANicoll 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just did the Italeri Starfighter as well, mostly as a diversion - in flight so no landing gear, got to paint the pilot figures. That is a LONG plane!!! Good luck!

chuck540z3 Posted January 16, 2021 Share Posted January 16, 2021 Really nice job Chris and a real unique paint scheme! Beautiful. Maybe a little dirt on the wings with Tamiya pastels? Cheers, Chuck CANicoll 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
