Hi Ian

Thinking of adding one of these to my collection in 1/48. Heard that the new Kitty Hawk kit is supposed to be good. I'll be interested to see this 1/72 version develop. If it were me I'd do the desert version, it's certainly what my 1/48 kit would be finished in.

Whatever you go with I'm sure it will look great.

Love the cockpit detail is it a decal or hand painted?

Cheers

P

 

[papa 695]

Hi Paul I'm going for the desert scheme and thanks for your vote of confidence. The cockpit detail is a bit of both a decal for the instrument panel and dry brush for the side panels with a pilot going in there wasn't any need to do a better job as it wouldn't be seen

Looking good so far Ian.

Looking very good in paint, can I ask you what you have used?

If I may misuse your thread Ian.

@tr1ckey66 aka Paul: I have just gotten hold of the Kitty Hawk version in 1/48. If you can hang on a day or two, I'll post some whats in the box photos.

No problems Ian first I used TamiyaXF-59 ( Desert Yellow) then lightened it with a few drops Vallejo 71.028 ( Sand Yellow ) for the post shading

 

[Ian M]

Looks great!
