Gisbod Posted March 15, 2023 Posted March 15, 2023 Hi all, Just finished this, to replicate RR232 currently based at Goodwood. This kit is Airfix’s finest to date, great fit, nice detail and the stressed skin effect is exceptionally well rendered. Thanks for looking… Guy chuck540z3, Stevepd, Greg W and 27 others 30
quang Posted March 15, 2023 Posted March 15, 2023 Neat build, Guy! The soft-edged demarcation between the camouflage colours is very realistic. How did you achieve it? What paint did you used? Cheers, Quang Gisbod 1
Gisbod Posted March 15, 2023 Author Posted March 15, 2023 Thanks Quang, I did it freehand with my Iwata, took a steady hand! MRP is my go to paint, they’re great. Guy quang and Greg W 1 1

KiwiZac Posted March 16, 2023 Posted March 16, 2023 As I said on another forum modelling warbirds is my "thing", and I have a particular preserved example to build from this kit too, and to see RR232 so lovingly reproduced is a real treat. Bravo!! Gisbod 1
Rod Bettencourt Posted March 16, 2023 Posted March 16, 2023 That is gorgeous, I usually like a little more weathering but dig what you did. Thanks for sharing. Rod Gisbod 1
Greif8 Posted March 16, 2023 Posted March 16, 2023 Beautiful build Guy! The engine and weapons area in the wing look very nice indeed. I also think your camo scheme is quite well done! Ernest Gisbod 1
