Hi guys I've just started this to recharge my mojo in modelling. I'LL show the inbox later as the pics are in my old nokia lumia 610. The following photos taken from my new nokia lumia 720.
I didn't airbrush this kit as I very much miss the old times hand brushing kits















More updates to come as I just realize I ran out of light blue

Nice work.

I too rediscovered the fun to be had doing it 'old school' on my oast build.

Hope your LHS has the required paint for you!!

Wow nice to see an old Matchbox kit, brings back many memories I still use the hairy stick on all my builds.

Thanks guys I'll be posting my progress in hours time as I need to airbrush a white band as I hate painting white

HI guys here are the photos as I promised and I'm greatly to tell you it's done more pics will be at the reveal section.

Last night I painted the upper fuselage with desert yellow as I want to build it based in north africa





This morning I masked up the plane the airbrush the white band before here is the boxart and colour planning












Then is followed by the camo. I use a old stiff brush to do it but not on the wings and even at the final bits and touch ups



The decals were as good as I expected although there's slight yellowing



After leaving it to dry here's the completed kit




ALL together it's an enjoyable kit to build and I hope to built it somemore

Cheers,

Matthew

Awesome build of a very interesting subject! I reckon a Fiesler Storch would look good next to her (that's a build I want to do anyway lol)
