cog Posted May 10, 2020 Share #1 Posted May 10, 2020 (edited) Another nice small model kit from Eduard. With this kit you can build six different version of the Mk IXc. The sprues have all necessary parts to build them. The supplied PE is mainly cockpit, and some vents. The cockpit is wll detailed and one could wonder if it is worth the effort on this scale. That's up to the builder, but it garantees some additional building pleasure. Parts look clean - not much cleaning up to do. On the web site from Eduard you can download digital building instructions if you rather work from a screen or like bigger size instructions Well the mandatory box "art" Edited May 10, 2020 by cog jwvolz, mtaylor, Edwardkenway and 5 others 8 Quote Carl "Desperate affairs require desperate measures."

cog Posted May 10, 2020 Author Share #2 Posted May 10, 2020 Cockpit does take a little while to get decorated, especially at 1/72.

Old Collingwood Posted May 16, 2020 Share #16 Posted May 16, 2020 Loving those invasion stripes/bands, it had past my mind on mine as one of the schemes - but mine would have had to be painted on by hand using dull white Acrylic paint, so I decided no to bother.

cog Posted May 16, 2020 Author Share #17 Posted May 16, 2020 (edited) Thanks you for the likes gentlemen Mask and paint by hand works too, OC. Actually, it is less work than mask for spraying. Then you would need to cover much more before you can start painting. It takes me an eternity compared to painting the plane! And concerning the dull white: You would have to give her a coat of varnish anyway, to get the decals on properly. Thus, the dull white would not be dull white anymore ...

cog Posted May 21, 2020 Author Share #26 Posted May 21, 2020 Thanks all for the likes, and comments I did paint on stripes Denis. As it would be rather silly not to. In all honesty, Initially I forgot and had them painted the base "belly colour", but realised I should have painted them with stripes. Checked the paint scheme, and added them by hand. By the way, I changed the prop from fixed to a turning one. That's why it's still not mounted. I did a wee bit of weathering, painted the exhaust (nearly forgot as well) ... final layer of varnish/lacquer ... would satin be the propper choice or gloss? popeye the sailor, lmagna, Old Collingwood and 3 others 6 Quote Carl "Desperate affairs require desperate measures."

popeye the sailor Posted May 21, 2020 Share #28 Posted May 21, 2020 what I usually go by, is that most military aircraft aren't very shiny........with the exception of bare aluminum aircraft. a satin would be the best bet...........in sunlight, there is at least some sheen. Olive Drab was the go to paint for our military because no matter how you looked at it........it was flat it was the same with the Navy......gray was the chosen color....but I'm sure your aware of that. glad you did the stripes.......that would probably be something that I'd do.......why I mentioned it. you did a great job.
