A bit of a rush build with this one.
Brand new tooling. 3 decal choices. Lovely little kit. KP are on top form with this. I rushed it and could have done a better job.
At this point I should have slipped a 0.010" shim behind the cockpit opening to slightly widen the fuselage. The canopy would have fitted a little better then.
A bit of Blu-Tak will allow you to get this wing joint spot on and no filler.
Painted with a brush using Velejo Acrylics over a Humbrol Rattle Can coat of 29 Dark Earth.
Neat cockpit.
Nice little kit. Good value, plenty of spares, but really needs a new prop for the RAF aircraft. They didn't have cuffs. This is from the spares box. The roundel Blue is a little pale. I may paint it over.
Just needs the yellow leading edge painting on and it's another for the collection.

Re: Chuck's late arrival from KP
Uhhh, what, where, when, how.......
Well, I never saw that coming! Nice work, and thanks for the heads-up on the wing joint.....
Looking forward to seeing this finished (and mine started )

If you can walk away from a landing, it's a good landing. If you use the airplane the next day, it's an outstanding landing

Its not just how good your painting is, its how good the touch-ups are too.

Re: Chuck's late arrival from KP
Did the leading edge stripes get added Chuck?
It would be great to see it completed
