LSP_Mike Posted July 23, 2022 Posted July 23, 2022 Nice details you have called out and added. I have one more of these in the stash, so it's good to have the compilation of details.
sandbagger Posted July 26, 2022 Author Posted July 26, 2022 Hi all, All of the parts have now been painted. I've replaced the Parabellum machine gun with a 'GasPatch' Parabellum LMG14, which only meant a slight modification to the lit supplied mounting. Now onto applying the decals and then weathering, before construction of the model, Mike Landrotten Highlander, Fanes, chukw and 3 others 6
John1 Posted July 26, 2022 Posted July 26, 2022 You are doing some truly impressive work here. What are you using for paint?

Hi John, Fuselage is 'Tamiya' acrylics - Dark Green 2 (RAF) - XF81 and Light Blue XF23, Applied over an 'Alclad' Duraluminium (ALC102) base coat. I was intending to chip the top coats but the lacquer Duraluminium coat caused the chipping solutions to 'bead up' instead of covering. So instead I'll weather the metal painted surface by dry brushing, Mike
scvrobeson Posted July 27, 2022 Posted July 27, 2022 Great progress on this one Mike! Glad to see one of the classic WnW kits get brought up to your standard. Matt
sandbagger Posted July 27, 2022 Author Posted July 27, 2022 Hi all, A few updates. The 'Aviattic' 5 colour faded lozenge decal applied. Also the kit supplied decals. I had to print the serial number for this particular aircraft. I've fitted the tail plane, fin and rudder. Also the two flare racks, engine Tachometer and pilots mirror. Now it's weathering before assembly, Mike scvrobeson, Landrotten Highlander, Trak-Tor and 4 others 7
