Hi everyone,
I probably don't need to say much about the Wingnut Wings kit - the quality and finish of the plastic parts, the decals, and the instructions are simply top - notch.
Basically, I built the model straight from the box, I added a few small details on my own - such as cables, wires, add-on parts, and instruments - or refined existing ones.
For the armament, I decided to use the super-detailed machine guns from Gaspatch - even though, in the end, only the forward-firing machine gun was actually used on the model.
For the colors, I mainly worked with Tamiya and Gunze/Mr. Metalcolor.
I used oil paints from Schminke, various color pigments or washes from AMMO, AK, etc., or - just like in the old days -, heavily diluted oil paint solution.
The wood-layer on the propeller was painted with simple colored pencils.
I basically did without expensive "magic potions".
I used plastic adhesives from Tamiya and Revell, white glue from AMMO, liquid superglue, and gel superglue from various manufacturers.
I also chose not to apply the large kit decals to the model, the national insignia are all painted on, and the red background of the shark's mouth is also painted on.
You can find the build report for this model at the link below:
