discussion Italeri U-2-R

[Guest]

This is the Italeri U-2R it is a big kit with a wing span of around 16 inches. At some point I intend to rework the aerial farm under the belly as the kit has them sat wrong.

I also have another of these to build but the two seat version.

Very nice build, you have pulled off the colouring just right, seen some of these models that are slightly too dark and just look too black. Yours has a that grey/black look.

I like it sir.

Thanks Si having seen plenty of these in and out of Fairford over the years made it easier to get a good colour balance
