Happy Christmas 

This model is totally fiction. I saw a box top photo and had to build. Front looks like a 55 Edsel and I loved it.

Cheers

Thank you all for the Positives.

John ..I am a huge fan of Alclad over Tamiya rattle can Gloss Black. As you can see I like my planes less weathered than normal modelers.

Sorry for the duplicates on the Mustang and Spitfire.

[Replaced my Monogram P-40B....1/48 Airfix P-40B]

I had some damage to my Monogram P-40 in my Pearl Harbor collection so I decided to Replace with Airfix P-40 in 1/48. This is one very nice Kit.

Built mostly out of box except Gun Sight,Uschi Antenna and Eduard Seatbelt. Really enjoyed this kit and fit was mostly great with a few areas only needing a little sanding and dry fitting.

Painted with Vallejo Air colors OD and Neutral Grey. Over-coated with Future for Gloss and decanted Dullcoat for final finish. Used some Tamiya weathering powders to "dirty her up".

Kit decals were great and no problems. I used gloss black on Props and buffed with Uschi Chrome powder. Hollowed out exhaust and gun barrels with no issues .

Thanks for Looking and Comments Welcome

Cheers

[Leduc 022 Looking for 4...1/72nd Scale]

Thanks Barry 

Back to Painting Bf110.

[Leduc 022 Looking for 4...1/72nd Scale]

This is a MACH 2 Plastic kit from 1992. It really shows its age as a challenge.Throw glue in ,shake around, glue comes back out crying like a baby.🤕

I will say my Photography has carried the day. No Photoshop other than correcting exposure issues.

Lots of scratch built detail in the Clear cockpit that you can barely make out. Pilot sat in the center of the intake..What could go wrong ????

[VMA 211 Harrier 1/48 Hasagawa]

Greetings All

I did not want to highjack the Hasagawa Harrier Thread ,so here is my finished VMA 211 Wake Island Avenger. I had to install the gun pods as a Marine Aircraft without weapons seemed "Unnatural".

This is probably my final aircraft for this collection. I have 7 Aircraft from the Wildcat thru the F-35 in collection.

This is the Hasagawa kit with Super Scale decals,Resin Seat,Resin Exhaust vents, and Flying Leatherneck Det.- Cord.

Two tone gray scheme with true Marine Tail.I used Gunze paints for colors and GX 100 clear for decal base and Mr Hobby Matt for final finish

Last addition was the Resin FOD covers. The Hasegawa intake has too many issue to be left open and I like a little more colors these add to the aircraft.

Thanks for Looking
