Ye Olde freehand-painted, no masking bristle brush.
With cowling and prop off-nice engine in this kit.
Hobby Craft/Traumpeter kits are the kind that after you build one, you definately need to “deprogram” before you build another. LIke maybe take a year or so off!
Here the clear coat discolored the paint-not always worth it.
The kit’s wing tie-backs are literally little steel rods-not nice.
This one I keep “under glass” in a special display case.
I might go back and touch-up the inner wings, though.
