HobbyBoss F3H-2M Demon

Post by Kevthemodeller »

It was a bit of a slog this one, just wanted it finished in the end. The kits moulding/engineering wasn't good in places (cockpit & canopy areas for one) certainly not as good as their A4 I built before this and that's got a few issues too. I wanted a 'at the end of a deployment' look so well used and ready for refit etc. If you want a 1/48 Demon Hobbyboss is, I think your only option, just be prepared to work at it.

Well doesn’t that look good. I really like the panel lining, it gives the already great paint job extra depth.

Congrats :clap:
