Sweet job !! Is that the same paint that was on the old Monogram Devastator kit ?

 

[Crimea_River]

Thanks guys. Not familiar with that kit Graham but I know that the pre-war yellow wing paint schemes occurred on many types.

It is a fine looking kit. Well done to say the least.

Thanks guys. Not familiar with that kit Graham but I know that the pre-war yellow wing paint schemes occurred on many types.

It was one of Monograms 1:48 scale offerings with the cover of a Shep Paine diorama showing it ditched in the water. Nice kit to build too.

Have built several and I know that it is not nearly as easy as some of the online reviewers would have you believe, especially if you want to get it right. Looks as though you managed to do just that and it looks great.
