66Foxtrot Posted June 24, 2023 Report Share Posted June 24, 2023 The last of the Tamiya Gustavs, for awhile. This, and the last 4 I've built were intended to be a display entered in the "Collections" category at the IPMS/USA National Convention in August. The base used was made by Bill Wedeward of Bases By Bill Custom Display Cases. As of this week, there's a 90% chance I will not be attending. Improvements include: Added rivets to entire airframe. Masked and painted all markings except data stencils and unit markings . Quinta Studios #72037 interior decals. Ceramic wire antenna aerial. Anti-vibration cones molded from plasticard. MRP acrylic lacquers airbrushed through Iwata HP-C and Custom Micron-C. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark Deliduka Posted June 24, 2023 Report Share Posted June 24, 2023 Man, that is beautiful, and the display is fantastic! Too bad you can't go, but maybe some miracle will happen to allow it. I won't be there either, so I guess we'll have to wait till Milwaukee.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ghodges Posted June 24, 2023 Report Share Posted June 24, 2023 Good looking BF and sharp display for the collection! I always liked the later scheme with the wavy camo on the wing edges and Reich defense bands adding a splash of color! Gil Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stikpusher Posted June 27, 2023 Report Share Posted June 27, 2023 Sharp looking collection! If you’re waiting for 2024, you can get three more completed for two full flights of four. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
