I did not catch the finished photos Gus but it deserved it along with the Destroyer from PW.

Congratulations Guys!

Got the leading edge yellow bands done and glossed coated with Future.The plane will not get much if any weathering seeing being introduced to the SQ. in May/45.No Flash.

I have tried them yet Peter ...https://www.truenorthpaints.com/comingsoon

Oh hell yeah Ron that looks most Excellente!! Ron you ever watch that show Australian Tank Restoration on YT? Looks like a Nice Museum!

I like the looks of that!!

I have not built an Eduard in a while if ever and have to say this is a saaweeeet Kit! The fit is just about perfect filler was a minimum on one wing root only.The kit supplied the PE to build up the pit though being a Spit not alot to see but I did use for the first time the SG with the light worked great for the bezels.I have been back with my MM enamels of late having found that MR.Color Leveling thinner for lacquers works Frigg'in excellente allowing me to thin to a 60/70 ratio of thinner and get a good application and is reviving some of the ole paints.The camo was all applied @17psi with the draw back on the trigger set to very light spray.The camo was drawn out with a pencil one at a time hitting the pencil line 2X and filling in the area it took me about 1 1/2 to 2 hrs to paint the whole plane,the airbrush never stops moving in various patterns.I started the build last Monday after shelving it for sometime lack of interest but I think it's time to clean up those off the SOD.

That is Nice John with an excellent Finish!!

The Japanese loved to use torpedoes at night if they knew an enemy convoy was in range they would unload 100/150 torpedoes hoping for 5% hits if they got more so be it.The delivery was an arc in the direction of the enemy.

Upside down Tail now that's a bit different Mike.

Well it sure looks good and tedious Gary not my patience level though.

She came out Real Nice Rob well Done!!

Ernie yes looking good from the outside but are you working on a dogfight scene on that table?😂

I can understand that one Mike.

Scott I gave the plane about 4/5 coats of future all over and used Tamiya Brown Wash liberally with a 1/2" wide brush let it sit over night but I could of probably come back in an hour.I used the a blue Scott Towel(single layer) ever so slightly damned in paint thinner/turpentine and stroke of course with the airflow but do not stroke too long in any given spot their can be a reaction sometimes.Have Fun Stripes are 9/16"/0.5625"=18" in width for D-day and beyond.

That is one Nice looking A/C Guys and the camo makes it all the better!!

Hey when you work that yard it's shows some of your pride in it.

Thank You Hubert while a little bit of a challenge at times it was fun. Thanks Rob I do think my paint is getting better in the last year but the weathering was just a wash I still have more to learn. Thanks Gary Like any SP kit pay attention in the WW/LG area but I can see a Whirlwind coming Thanks.

Alright time to move on fellas to the next project.Peter the inner door actuators kept braking off so made out of .015" guitar string with a brass head then drilled the body of the actuator and just glued to the door only(bad pic).I used Alcad smoke first time ever using it easy just went a little heavy on the R/side of the plane.The bombs got a wash of Tamiya brown right on MrColor and then Tamiya grey wash both done with a q-tip did not touch the paint.Thanks for the likes and interest fellas.

Getting closer to that Finish line.I hope the pics help Peter.

😂 it's looking good Gary even if you are no longer of any sanity.

Smart and if our Boy Martin hadn't said anything I never would of known.

Gary ...Martian just luvs playing whack a mole with you 😂

Some interesting schemes on this one.

Even for an old kit Kriss she will look really good by your hands!
