RGL Posted August 3, 2023 Share #1 Posted August 3, 2023 This is the second of 2 little resin kits I was given, I gave away the (finished) last one to the bloke who gave me the kit. these kits are difficult. The wing struts look insanely hard to align. Canute, AJohnson, mtaylor and 7 others 10 Quote Greg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RGL Posted August 3, 2023 Author Share #2 Posted August 3, 2023 I’ve made a start, the level of detail of the cockpit is ok but my plan is to sink her in the waves nose first so it’s not that important!

RGL Posted August 24, 2023 Author Share #4 Posted August 24, 2023 Now I’ve finished my French thingy, I want to finish this. To represent wood grain I’ve used a wood grain stencil with a mid brown base. Oat then a dark brown spray through the stencil. Then and orange filter. Next will be a gloss coat. next, hours of masking to do the ribs, buff, base coat then graduated lighter shades after masking.
