This one is only *almost* completed, posting it prematurely in the hope that it will fool the modelling gods to let me find the propeller.
It is KP’s boxing with the shark mouth - the shark mouth decal is quite far off in terms of size that I decided to skip it. At some point the plane must not have had it I suppose.
There’s quite a lot to do on this kit. If I remember it all:
-Opening lots of vent and/or access holes
-Replaced the seat witha Barracuda resin wicker sear
-Rest of cockpit scratchbuilt
-Replaced the cabane struts, which are way too thick. Soldered a roll cage from brass instead
-Interplane struts are also too thick. Inner and outer pairs are not supposed to be identical either. Started with the kit struts and carved and carved
-All guns replaced from the spares box
-Wind shied from acetate: gunsight from metal tube
-Replaced various clunky stuff (radiator, engine pieces)
Painted with Vallejo colours, except AK interactive PC12, which I used mixed with olive drab and Dark earth (71029?) to get some brownish-looking PC10. The battleship grey is Light Gray mixed with pale blue grey.
