PlasticHero
Senior Airman
Squadron 682 Italy 1944. Big thanks to
A4K and
Crimea_River for the assistance on the markings. This is the first time I was able to recreate markings out of leftovers. The serial is off and I was misled by the profile image vs the photo. Don't know why I never noticed that they were different. Oh well, the wife will never notice the error.
Am I second guessing myself at this point or is the rudder on F pointed like E? I even have a XI kit with the pointed version.
Early on I molded the tarps over the plane with plastic wrap to separate it. I only had "fancy" paper towels, so the waffle weave is a little heavy for scale. The Airfix kit is a little light on part count and detail in obscure areas like the wheel wells; but the price is right and looks good. This is also the first time I got a completion before the next GB even opened. I'll do the detail pix tomorrow but for now I'm having a cider and whiskey. Cheers!
