This is going to be my build for this GB. Not many parts so should be a quick build when I start it.

Good choice Ian. Not the most elegant looking aeroplane ever built but interesting. So many builds this year, you're doing a good job keeping up with them all.

I remember you getting this one Ian , looks like a typical Tamiya , should go together with no probs , cheers tony


EDIT . Ive just seen the pics and the Made in Italy gives it away as an Italeri mould reboxed by Tamiya so we'll just have to see what the build turns out like

Got this one put together also primed and pre-shaded. I've used different colours for the pre-shading because I've seen pictures of this one with many different coloured panels so I'm trying to emulate that.


Let's just see if it works

Be interested to see how that works out Ian. Nice work so far.

I will do it Monday Joe. If it doesn't work then it's just back to post shading.

[papa 695]

Well this is the outcome. I think it worked a little but still needs post shading to really bring the panels out. But it was worth a try
