Looks great Evan. I'm sure baby pictures are a priority over model pics.

Cheers Geo, and yeah, he is the centre of our world at this time. Everything else (except work) comes under the 'if I get time' category.

Great progress Evan. you can do the extra before or after just depends on your taste!

 

[Wildcat]

Wow, looks great Evan!

 

[A4K]

Cheers Wayne and Andy!

Wayne, I probably taste terrible, so I'll just wing it and weather her after the Matt coat
BTW, what do ya reckon - Matt or Semi-Matt?

 

[Gnomey]

Great work so far!

 

[A4K]

Thanks Hugh!

 

[Wayne Little]

If it's really late war more likely Matt, earlier could be semi-matt....

 

[A4K]

Cheers Wayne! We're talking 1942, so will try to mix a Semi-Matt. Worse case scenario she'll end up Matt, which should also look good.

Haven't updated for a long time, but this bird's in rehabilitation. She was being flight tested (with a little help from my son). Gravity won

Since put her back together, and sanded the seams for repainting. I now regret not recording my mix for the exterior colour...
Will have a play when I get back and get some pics up.

This is not the best of kits, but is a reflection of the kits of that time. You did a great job making this kit look awesome!

 

[A4K]

Cheers Dirk, appreciate it mate!

Unfortunately she's not looking too great these days, after numerous flight tests by my son over the years. He still loves it though, so she was worth it

I'd keep the props. This all comes down to personal preference of course! Just find a sanding file or stick and slowly sand off the excess plastic.

 

[A4K]

Cheers mate. I never waste kits, planning to revamp this girl (again) at some stage!

 

[A4K]

Like now for instance Building a Hasegawa Ki-46-II in surrender markings for GB 46, so this girl will be restored in tandem.

Current condition:
