The finish line...
Today I've first used Tamiya pastels for the smoke fumes: black for the guns; and for the exhausts I first used black then what Tamiya names "Rust" and that is in fact a nice brown. The brown is very useful; he avoids the black to be too dark and too "hard". And gives a more realistic result...
After that I painted clear varnish on the position lights; then glued the rockets (simply with a drop of clear varnish!); the wheels; the canopy (mobile part); the propeller and finally the mobile panels of the ammo box.
My daughter Mathilde helped me grandly giving me one of her beautiful very dark hair, that served for the antenna...
... And yes, it's finished now!!!
Well. I LOVE it. Eduard realised a fabulous kit, easy to assemble, fun to build. I'm really impatient to see their release of the 1/72 FAA Hellcat; that will be another great moment.
Of course, an article will follow soon
