**** DONE: 1/48 Curtiss Hawk 75A-2 - Aircraft in Foreign Service WWII

[Vic Balshaw]

Once again, thanks for looking in guys, and for helping to keep the spirits up.

Just a little progress today, wheel painted, underside sprayed and propeller given the once over. Give them all a chance to dry and I'll slap on a coat of One Go for good measure.

Looking good Vic!

 

[Aaron Brooks Wolters]

[T Bolt]

Beautiful job Vic

 

[Vic Balshaw]

Thanks guys, started on the topside painting today, just a bit of blue-grey and hopefully a masking job tomorrow afternoon ready for the green or brown. Not sure which way I'll go on that one yet.

great work

 

[T Bolt]

Is it a 3 color camo on top? That always makes for an interesting masking job.

 

[Vic Balshaw]

Three colours Glen, the green and brown next and then some scrubbed out areas in possibly a sky blue were the l'ère Escadrille insignia was shown prior to French HQ orders to remove them.

Really looks great, Vic. Really !

[Vic Balshaw]

Many thanks Charles.

Sprayed on the green coat today, brown next and then a rough job with a bit of pale blue to simulate the painting out of Escadrille insignia on the rear fuselage.

Looking great Vic

 

[Wurger]

With all.

 

[meatloaf109]

Yep, me too!

 

[vikingBerserker]

Very nice!

 

[Gnomey]

Good work so far Vic!

 

[Vic Balshaw]

Thanks for looking in folks. Not much today, had the dentist this morning and now my bank balance is over $1800 the lighter.

Anyway, splashed on the brown paint today, just needs a little repair work and then I can do the patchwork on the rear fuselage and maybe a little detailing.

 

[T Bolt]

Love those 3 color camo jobs. Looks great Vic, makes me want to pull out the French hawk 75 I have in my stash and start it, but I think I better finish the other 3 P-40's I have going first

Heck, I don't stick my head if for a while, and you're at the painting stage!
Good stuff Vic.
