Daz's BTK re-pop **FINISHED**

Post by DazDaMan »

I'll be doing one of these:

I'm tempted to give this one a cockpit and some additional detail, but I might just leave it depending on the time I give myself!

Good Choice Daz! It's a nice little kit this - I added a 3D-kits MK.II conversion set to mine when I built it.

I prefer the older kit to the new one, if I'm honest!

I might see what I have in the stash for the cockpit parts.

I'm not going to go mad with internal details - a pilot figure will do, and I sincerely doubt I have an open canopy in the stash anyway (rather than try hacking the Airfix offering up!).

Externally, though, I'll try to weather it to look like a Battle of Britain-era aircraft. It'll be as OOB as possible.

Well, I made a start with this one on Sunday - internals painted; propeller painted and assembled.

Pics later.

Tailplane fitted and most of the smaller airframe parts attached.

I realise I've not posted any pics (thus fully warranting the "this thread is worthless without pics" gif), but I will get on the case tonight!
