66Foxtrot Posted July 23, 2009 Report Share Posted July 23, 2009 This was my "Tamiya Break" after finishing the Eduard Emil. I chipped away at it for 2 months, as I don't seem to have the time, anymore. Regardless, the model depicts an aircraft of the U.S. Marine Corp's VMF-213 "Hell Hawks", circa 1943. It's OOB, save for the antennae (stretched sprue) and the tensioner (fine solder). It was airbrushed with Vallejo Model Air acrylics. Why are the wings folded on an island??? Because. I said so.

Dreamsof51 Posted July 24, 2009 Report Share Posted July 24, 2009 I love this kit. Its all there, full cockpit, folding wings and dropped flaps. Of course you've got to have the skills to turn it into the beauty that you have. Great job thanks for sharing it. Chris Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
