very tidy build.

Wow, just missed this one... Well done! It looks the Bizz.

I do love those Revell Aqua Acrylics. Easy to brush, clean and dries very quick. Ideal for a Blitz.

Nice one David. A damn good finish.

All the best.

Thanks everyone, it is all down to the paint, Revell Aqua is brilliant, you do have to mix your own colours if you want realism as they match to RAL standards rather than the correct historic colours but I believe this difference only adds to the available shades at your disposal.
The New Airfx Tomahawk is a super little kit, the canopy surprised me but perhaps the slide mould stuck on that one and did not quite give the correct seating shape, the wing machine guns were a pain being both really delicate and moulded into the wing, when I build another one properly I will simply cut them away and glue them back just before painting.

Quality build David in good time! Paint colours look spot on too.

[lancfan]

Thanks MDT, yes they were mixed to sample or formula to get the correct scale colours.

Missed this due to having been camping at the coast. That looks to be a lovely kit. I must get one. Well done!
