Eduard 1/72 F6F-5N Nightfighter -Reveal

Post by rodrant »

Well it is done !

This Kit is in my opinion a very good Kit , a clean , crisp build , I place it near or equal quality of Tamiya's kit's , and this profipacks are great , the bring Photo Etched parts , masks for canopies and the resilt is just great ! A Very Good quality Kit , nice plastic, the decals are just great ! To weather I use Tamia weathering master , as well as some Ultimate Mud for the tires , and that's all that I used for weathering ...

The Base of the Diorama is a Photo frame , and the plane is in a pre-painted base from Eduard , It is representing a PSP deck , very used in WWII in Pacific , and also in Europe , also it gives a very good presentation of the kit , also use some Tamiya Terrain effect and some grasses from Noch , I like the end result , even with some small errors and some paint job not so good ...

Here are the Photos , Hope you enjoy and fell free to comment , I would apreciate your comments guys!
