This was a build for the Splendid Cats GB about 2 years ago, which I unfortunately wasn’t able to finish in time, due to changes in my work routine. So she sat near the box of doom until I was reminded about her by an interested member about a month ago, so I figured I’d try to complete her.
The big challenge for me was not to damage or change her finish by clear coats, the finish you see is weathering of the base black colour. I eventually found/tried some paint masks which I haven’t used before. So the only decals used are the identity numbers/letters and warning markings. In the end the finish is pretty much as the photo’s I’ve seen of war wiry Korean war aircraft.
Extra bits;
Quick Boost - Undercarriage Covers & Gun Barrels
SAC – Undercarriage (which I lost part of then found it a year later, I didn’t end up fitting them)
UltraCast – Props (kit ones are backwards!!)
In the end I fell in love with her again and am really glad I finally finished her….even if she’s a bit late for the GB! Now I just need to finish the Ta-154 to go with her!
Please enjoy
