Magnificent work here! I commend you on your masking and painting. I do love the smooth metallic finish.

Hey Boots......is there a box art photo on the bottom of the box? And if so, who was the builder? I think one of our club members may have done that one for the photo shoot. Just curious and trying to refresh my memory from our Accurate Miniatures days.
Regards,
Ian

Ok fellas....done a little bit on this as well as working on the Sherman Finished off the cowl with the white pin stripe and also the white pin stripes either side of the fuselage Red stripe..............also the tail feathers got masked off and sprayed White (my bad......didn`t realise at assembly stage they were meant to be White  )........`i`ll give this a Gloss coat soon and add the decals.........the White pin stripes are the kit decs but being off shaped tubular like most fuselages i`ve had to do the best i can......lots of Sol to get these to play nice and meet up again.......still need to bed them further yet
    Also primed the wings and other cockpit section and the prop has had a make-over coz i weren`t happy with it

These inter-war birds were very colourful, and difficult to paint in kit form! You’re well on top of this one though |
