Wonder what kit that is. Looks like the modeller got gipped with a bum cockpit canopy moulding. Nice clean model. I have the Airfix kit and have always been intimidated with all those small windows during assembly. I just know I would screw them up.

 

[Gnomey]

Nicely done!

 

[Airframes]

I think that might be the old Airfix Hudson Matt, it certainly looks like it. The turret might be fitted a bit high though. Always liked the Hudson, much under-rated. Wish there was a good, reasonably priced 1/48th scale kit of it.

 

[Matt308]

If so that's the same one that I have. Hmm... I've dry fitted those fuselage halves and they don't mesh all that well. I'll have to dry fit the canopy glass. Might require some cutting for proper fit.

Next up now my internet is back up to speed!....damn kids..

Heck! I thought that was one of Jan's what ifs?! Looks nice in RAF temperate scheme, didn't know there were any in the RAF in Europe, just Far East, or is it a what if?

 

[109ROAMING]

At first , with that RAF camo I thought it a radial Tempest

Doesn't look too bad though

 

[vikingBerserker]

Very nice!

Exactly my thought at first glance.

 

[Gnomey]

Same here. Nice model though.

 

[Wayne Little]

SM-79 next...

 

[kgambit]

Interesting camo scheme .... don't think I've seen that variation before.

 

[Wildcat]

Very nice!

 

[vikingBerserker]

Beautiful! That camo is really interesting.

 

[Gnomey]

Excellent! Always liked the Italians camouflage.

 

[Matt308]

I would love to do an Italian bird, but I don't know how I would do that camo pattern in 1/72nd. With a sponge perhaps? Too small to mask.

The SM 79 isn't that small. You could probably mask that or even freehand it with a reasonably small airbrush tip.

Another British marked US aircraft!
