This is the Hobbyboss 32 scale kit. A very nice kit indeed, had its issues but nothing major, a model that really wanted to be built.

Vallejo Model Air and Model Colour used with Gunze metallics, Vallejo varnishes, Flory washes

5 exhaust ports! Only 5 cylinders per side. That's unusual, isn't it?

 

[flyjoe180]

Nice work Barry, very sharp job on the paint work.

Steve yes it's unusual, maybe two of the exhaust stubs were paired (think early Merlins with three exhaust stubs per side).

Wicked work Barry, superb weathering.

 

[BarryW]

Steve, actually there are six.

The sixth comes straight out tucked behind the fifth from the front.... difficult to see and, yes a very odd configuration.

Thanks for your comments....

Up to your usual superb standard Barry. *****

A great build Barry and has been said some subtle weathering.

 

[Guest]

Great 5* build, Barry. That must be quite a large model.

[Guest]

Amazing piece of model build. Paint job on that is absolutely superb Good job!!:grinball1:

 

[BarryW]

Thanks again everyone.

This is the first time I have used Parafilm M for masking a canopy and I have to say it works really well, while not perfect and I still need a spot of practise, these are the best set of canopies I have done yet. I recommend trying it. I certainly wont bother with Eduard masks again.
