discussion Gary's Academy 1/48 scale Wildcat F4F-F

[gweller]

After a bit of work this morning I think I have rescued it enough to be worth going further. Once everything has a good chance to dry I'm going to varnish it before proceeding with the detail work.

Coming together really well. Cockpit and engine have wonderful detail. It is indeed a shame that a lot won't be seen.

Nice progress Gary, looks like you fixed the painting issue well

 

[HAWKERHUNTER]

Great recovery Gary.

 

[gweller]

Thanks chaps! Yes I was relieved it came out reasonably ok. Going to varnish it first to protect the finish before going further.

Tried to add a bit of weathering and sone panel lines before proceeding further. Not sure it was a great success... I'm still struggling with all that sort of stuff, trying to get the balance of making it show without over doing it a screwing it all up! I would have liked the areas around the panel lines on the fuz to be less dirty, and the lines more sharply defined, still next time better!
