Picked this up for $3 a few months ago.
Thought this would be a good kit for me to get back to modeling.
First time using, Tamiya Acrylic paint, Panel Accent, decal adhesive, Markfit etc.
Well, this is a very cheap kit. I was just gonna build and paint, but had to add some detail
haha,
It had the extruded panel line…what’s the term? So, scribed some.
Who cares! I am having fun. Going with a wwII camo look.
I gotta try the oil wash next time. Tamiya Panel accent is good for the panel, but wasn’t good enough to was the whole plane.
Okay. I have to say it.
that is cool! You’ve got an old classic kit with scratch building, scribing, and a custom paint scheme.
it just looks like you had a good time.
Yes indeed, looks like you had a lot of fun with this one.

Kudos to you sir for all that scratch building. You build is awesome!

Nicely done, looks like a late 30’s pursuit “what if” aircraft. Now if it just had some cowl or wing guns… like what you added to the pit.
haha, ya I thought about adding some rockets from P-47 but didn’t.
Some people go crazy with this kit, but I wasn’t up for that much of work. I think one of the members here did this or something similar.
I used some putty to remove the "click on’ canopy clip indent.
I also added interior to mine, but not that detailed. I did it in the silver livery too. I also added a resin Engines 'n Things engine. The kit engine leaves a lot to be desired. I happened to have a book on Matty Laird, which helped with the build.
