Firebrand GF 2

<< < (3/3)

Buzzbomb:
Certainly a very different look

KiwiZac:
That is very cool, beautiful work!

Frank3k:
That's a beast of a plane! The camo looks great, too.
 What's the stand from?

apophenia:
That came out great Doc! To me, something about that camouflage says deep, dark, cold Norwegian fjords.  :smiley:

Thanks, Frank. The Firebrand wasn't a great aircraft for it's purpose, but I have always been taken by it's looks. The stand is from the
Delta 2 kit of the Campini Caproni I built some years back.

The kit isn't bad (CMK resin, if I remember right) but the surface detail reminds me of Matchboxes 'Mad Trencher'. I will have to pick up one of the Valom kits one of these years and try an SEA scheme for the RAAF.

Apophenia: The scheme is quasi-authentic, I think. I based it loosely on some schemes found in my copy of British Aircraft of WW II by David Monday (A Hamlyn Concise guide circa 1994, though I suspect the original entries are from a number of different publications.) I like the image of it flying up one of the Fjords.

Thanks for looking in
