started
the 1:48 AirFix Warhawk. some molded levers were cut off and
replaced. side wall parts detail is a bet soft so i filed them down
to make them thinner.
AirFix
added panel lines that don't exist around the middle, under the
canopy opening, part of the fuselage. i removed them and added rivet
detail. to tie it all together i riveted the rest of the fuselage
(wings to follow). i also replaced the raised rivet detail on the
wing fillets with recessed rivets using a beading tool.
interior
colors is Tamiya yellow-green and black mix. detail picked out with
vallejo acrylics. data plates are dry transfers from archer, seat is
from UltraCast, lap belts P.E. eduard.
some
gaps filled with true-earth plastic putty. i'm using the UltraCast
resin exhausts and prop.
added
a cross brace to the windshield and scratch built a new gunsight
refelector plate, attached with future.
primed
with Mr. Surfacer 1500 black. pre shade with white, rlm 76, and
neutral gray. under surface color is mr. color #332, British Lt. A/C
Gray
Top
Camo is done. i wasn't too "jazzed" with my colors, Mr.
Color RLM79 and FS34079 green, too much contrast. the RLM79 was too
light., so i worked on over spraying it with Gunze H72 Dark earth.
Masks were cut from Tamiya tape
