KevinM Posted November 23 Share Posted November 23 I started this one last night not even thinking really just inspired by John's build of the Frankenstein build but I actually had a sandbox on the desk so here it is.This build will be out of box fast I hope and just present a good paint job just another entry. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KevinM Posted November 25 Author Share Posted November 25 The copit is finished and closed up checked to see if I had any seatbelts but only Waldron and 1/72 like I said a quick build guys.The wheel wells was almost reminiscent of a SH kit they went together nicely just painted them.I am thinking I will be done with this one by next Friday. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KevinM Posted November 29 Author Share Posted November 29 Primed and got some paint laid in the last couple of days.I used MrColor Middlestone and Air Superiority Blue(looked close)and MM French Earth as you can see got just three touch-ups.I am about to paint the prop,spinner and canopy frames LG's are already completed. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah Mike easy kit another very Nice fit from Trumpter how accurate is another question but it looks like a P-40.I have noticed thus far 1/48 and 1/72 seem a better fit than the 1/32 in fit.I used Valleyo seam filler in just a couple of spots was all she got and minimal sanding at the seams. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KevinM Posted November 30 Author Share Posted November 30 I keep plugging away got all the decals laid last seemed to settle down pretty well using Walthers and Cartograph at that but it's an old kit.I pulled a Hubert in a sense painted the glass looked really sweet hand masked I am looking at the plane last night on the stand I painted it Earth not Middlestone! So,will remask and repaint nothing like digging a ditch and filling it up! 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KevinM Posted December 2 Author Share Posted December 2 This one is about to hit the cabinet.I cleared with a Tamyia Semi-Gloss and applied two coats of Florrys Sand to top and bottom should of just left it at that but I wanted to add some dust effects so out came Tamy's weathering palettes.I deliberately over did the chalks somewhat thinking they will disappear and that would of happened with a gloss or semi.I used MrHobby flat and virtually none disappeared she came out OK but I had higher expectations though the wing root area took it the worst.I still have to paint the blue light on the R/side under the copit first came doing the wash.

DocRob Posted December 2 Share Posted December 2 A good looking Hawk, Kevin. Chalky materials and clear coats are always a bit of a mystery, considering the effect in the end. Cheers Rob 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
