IBG P.11C

[Uncarina]

Hello Everyone,

 

I have been quietly puttering away on the superb little IBG P.11C. The fit, engineering, and detail is amazing. The only aftermarket I've gotten is the BitsKreig spinner, propellors, and headrest, Yahu IP, and a set of Techmod decals, which I might use as inspiration to create a set of masks. I painted everything so far with Tamiya AS-12, weathered with Tamiya panel liners and Flory Washes, and annealed the lap belts. And no, this is not a distraction from my Lancaster build, which I am also working on!

 

Cheers,  Tom

 

 

 

In both of these photos you can see the kit spinner base on the left, the BitsKreig part on the right.

Nice start.

 

The model in the box looks outstanding and hopefully builds well. Mine is waiting for longer evenings (autumn/winter comes soon) so I'll be following this thread carefully!

Thanks Jaro! I can only say great things about this kit. The photoetch is a bit delicate, especially the seat frames, but it really makes everything look in scale. I love the approach IBG took overall.

 

Cheers,  Tom

And on that note:

 

 

 

 

 

The fit has been mainly flawless, and I've used very little filler: CA to blend the seams and a swipe of Vallejo putty applied and blended with water at the rudder join and the forward cowling.

 

Cheers,  Tom

Thanks Pete! I’m tempted to finish her in a silver scheme to show off the rivets and unique shape, but those markings are calling out to me. Like a WNW kit, once the engine is done and cockpit sealed up, things move fast!

 

Cheers,  Tom

Thank you! They are an inexpensive upgrade, and the headrest, spinner, and propellors fit really well.

 

Cheers,  Tom
