About a month after my last update, its time to wrap this up. I left of with the painting complete and decals on. Afer that there was some light weathering with some flory washes. The canopy was finished off with rivets applied useing aluminium paint and all the final parts added. I used some rigging rope for the parachute pull cord on the RATO’s.
Then the antenna wire was added along with the hatches for the camera bays. It was fitted to the base along with a truck and ladder and then put to one side awaiting for the cameras. This dully arrived from Califonia having been let down by a UK supplier and every thing was finsihed off. The scene is not what i ahd planed, i wanted 2 guys carrying the camera to the plane, but i didn’t have any sutable figures for that. So, useing what i had, a couple of modified airfix figures and one from Zvezda, this is what i came up with.
Overall, i am really pleased with this. I do like how the canopy has come out, though i know i will do a couple of things different next time. After a few years of almost getting one of these on the bench, its nice to finally have one finished.
Thanks for looking and foillowing along, all comments welcome as always.
