'Occurred'? Is this a new painting method we should know about Ian?  ;D

Whatever it is it worked superbly, it looks excellent.  :thumbsup:

Kit's Rule 2) The backstory can always be changed to suit the model

...and I'm not a closeted 'Take That' fan, I'm a REAL fan! :)

Poor thing gets done up in its best bib and tucker and then someone drags it through a mud pool  ;)

Looking forward to see how she looks dirtied up a tad

Lookin' very nice indeed

Love the browny colour - which one is it please, and who is the manufacturer

Ian the Kiwi Herder

It's Xtracolours 'Schokolade braun' or 'Rot braun' enamel mixed with RAF Dark Green (not that you can tell) - mixed it years ago as my 'go-to' Braun Violet.(RLM81).

...and done !!



















Built this because I hadn't done a 'What If' for a while and really wanted to reinvigorate my atrophied 'mottling skills' such as they are. In the end I'm quite happy with it, built really easily with no big issues, nice detail straight from the box including a perfect wee etch fret. If you're in to Luft '46 and 1:48 (or even if you aren't), go out and get one of these Hobbyboss Ta152's, they're cheap, easily available and look really nice when they're done.

Not sure what's next, maybe the new 1:72 Revell Gripen or another Rafale... Stay tuned, thanks for taking the time to look and or comment, please feel free to say anything at all.
