Andy's 1/48 Hasagawa "Nick"

[The Smythe Meister]

Well, I'm calling it "finished" now,
Had enough fiddling with it!!
... Don't think I'll ever brush paint a plane again, although I must admit that I've been very impressed with this Mig Ammo set :thumb2:
A couple of pics here,and then I'll get some in the "completed" section.Just did a bit of weathering and a Florey wash,to show a bit of usage,but not loads...




... I'll put up a more detailed post tomorrow in the completed section.
Thanks to ALL who have taken the time to post,comment,or just look in, it's much appreciated

Cheers Neil, it's far from my best,but all things considered,(mainly because I brush painted it!! :dizzy, I'm quite happy.

It's not that bad, you know. did you consider spraying the green and brush painting the silver around it?

Great result, Andy.
Minimum of fiddling too. Good boy!

Well Andy I've just had a catch up of your fine build. The camo looks great. Well done. Neat hairy stick work. The pilot looks good. Decals have really made it pop. Glad the decal problem was sorted. I think I would have chickened out and masked and painted the backgrounds rather than had decal on decal.
One to be proud of.

Cracking work Andy.

I was wondering the same, except it's grey, not silver.

I did consider doing it that way,but wasn't sure about painting a light colour over a darker one.
If there ever is a "next time",( which I doubt ),I would try it that way round.
