P-51 Racer refurbishing (Strega - Heritage Aviation Models 1/32)


Recommended Posts

Hello

Refurbishing of my Heritage Aviation Models Strega is finished.

I built it some years ago, looking like this :

But it did not aged well : the white became yellowish other time..., also at that time I was brush painting and it was not very good work (lots of brush marks...)

 

So I basically striped all paint, sanded the surfaces, applied a layer of putty, sanded again and applied a layer of Mrsurfacer thenpainted again using Tamyia gloss white and red (X-2 and X-7).

Also I changed the air intake from the original kit because it was way too small (see the last pic above and compare to the one below).

I also replaced the prop by an eduard one. Painted with green stuff world Chrome.

Varnish is VMS gloss and decasl from draw decals.

Maybe I'll do it later when Voodoo is repaired.
