Hi guys
This my contribution to this memorial GB.
Sorry, no back story at this time.
The weird name comes from the portuguese word "polaina" which is the translation for "spat/spatterdash/spatteguard" :)
The project started as an Airfix 1/72 Henschel Hs123-A1, but soon turned into something rather different, with the aid of some parts from a variety of different donors.
The inspiration was the Hawker Bloodhound. See the topic: http://beyondthesprues.com/Forum/index.php?topic=9079.0 (http://beyondthesprues.com/Forum/index.php?topic=9079.0)
And here is the result:

It still need some clean-up before the primer.
Thanks for watching!

No doubt about it! Great looking start!

Yep. Brian would love both the general weirdness and those scrummy Henschel spats - sorry, polainas ;D
I am guessing that a certain diminutive brown canid will approve too ;)

Thanks!
After a procrastination period I finally managed to advance to the painting phase.
So I thought green and white. And that is the result so far....

Now I need to find some decals to go with it.
Let me see what the spare box has to say about it :)
Thanks for watching, and keep safe!

Nice! :D

It looks great! I feel like it might belong in the Porco Rosso universe.

And the work has advanced, with the gloss varnish, some decals and the base painting.

A few minor retouches and it is done.
Still deciding if I let it really shiny as it is, or if I tone it down a little bit with some matte varnish.
Decisions, decisions :)
Thanks for watching!

Shiny racer or semi-gloss racer? Hmmm? ???
Difficult choice! Glad it's yours! ;D
She looks good, by the way! :smiley:
I'm thinking I've seen those cow decals on Ma.K kit sheets. ;)

:smiley:

And the decision was to let it shine!
So, after a few touches of mat varnish on the tires and exhausts, I called it a day.
Please find below the final photos of my humble tribute to Brian Perri.

Godspeed Brian!
P . S. - Yes. the cow decals are from a Mak Falke kit. I started a back story involving a certain Messieur Victor de la Vache, "V is for Vache", but never passed that phase :(

Good call on the gloss coat! That looks excellent :smiley:
-
Excellent job, Antonio! 8)
You've done both BdB & SBD proud! :smiley: :smiley:
-
Excellent! I love the dripping paint on the tail numbers.
-
Concur with prior comments. Called it a day at right point. Fine derivative of Hawker Bloodhound concept. 8)
Have impression Polainador Mk I was used for protecting cow herds from natural predators and poachers. ???
-
I was inspired by this as soon as I first saw it - hope my comes out half as nice.
-
Madness, MADNESS! And GOOD!

Excellent and touching posting Antonio. Card says it all.
Brian and I did many email and phone conversations (predominately about models). Went to model shops, swap meets, meals out when he was here. A gracious polite fun loving guy at all times. Is missed a bunch. :'(

Oh boy what a lovely finishing touch to a great model

It's like something from Crimson Skies, if the machines in that game were designed by Miyazaki.
