Airfix 1:72 Curtiss Tomahawk IIB

[matto21]

Hello,


I've not completed a model for ages, until now. I was working on a Revell 1:32 Bf109 but motivation went so, in an attempt to kickstart some modelling, I built this.


It's a great fitting, easy and quick to build model. The only negatives for me are the spindly undercarriage legs, flatspotted tyres that don't quite meet the ground properly and canopy.


I sprayed the camo freehand using Tamiya Acrylics and while the colours aren't 100% accurate, it's good enough for me!

That is an absolutely superb build. I really like the finish you've achieved on that. First Class.

Thanks for the comments! I'm tempted to start the Airfix 1:72 Hurricane I picked up at the same time!

That looks fantastic. Very nicely finished and weathered without overdoing it.
