Hobbycraft 1/72 F-89A/B Scorpion

Post by SkyPainter303 »

I finally got this one off the bench. The kit isn't the best by far (like most Hobbycraft kits), and it took too long to build. Nevertheless, here she is. It was painted using mostly Model Master Enamels. The exterior is MM flat aluminum, the exhaust area is MM steel, and the final flat coat is MM spray can Dullcote lacquer.
