jterry85 Posted February 12, 2024 Report Posted February 12, 2024 This is the third kit I've built after coming back from a long break. I tried some new techniques I hadn't tried before such as tinting the clear canopy and black basing. I used some aftermarket decals this time which gave me some trouble. I started with the red lightning bolts and learned they don't mix well with micro-sol and micro-set as they started peeling. The decals for the walkways on the wings and top of the fuselage also kept breaking and not fitting right. Overall though I am happy with the end result. 2
Stikpusher Posted February 13, 2024 Report Posted February 13, 2024 That came out pretty nice! Doesn't look like you've been away from the hobby for any extended time.
ghodges Posted February 13, 2024 Report Posted February 13, 2024 That's a very nice Viking! I wouldn't have guessed you had any problems with the decals from the great looking results. I like the weathering too.... as it looks like a plane that's seen some sea duty and is ready for some shore leave! Congrats, and thanks for sharing it here! Gil
