Yet another matchbox
build from me! Ah, well, what can I say? Still love 'em. As usual, built from
the box using the stock decals - which were actually surprisingly easy to apply
despite all those years in an unsealed box. Mind you, there aren't many of 'em
as you can see!
The kit took me
about 8 hrs in total to finish, but it could've taken me less, if I hadn't
needlessly airbrushed it. I can't help thinking I'd have got the same finish
handpainting. I'm going to resolve to only use my airbrush where I feel it will
actually enhance the finish from now on! All that masking, mixing and cleaning
up is no substitute for some satisfying, quality freehand work!
I don't often put
pilot figures in my aircraft, but felt that there wasn't a whole heck of a lot
to look at with this one (you can barely see it head-on!) so they served
as a bit of 'dressing'.
Happy modelling!
