Yesterday finished this Red Tail build and am very pleased with the result. It's a 1/72 Academy kit completed with a Tamiya NMF rattle-can and a lot of brush-painting. (sorry for photo quality but camera on last legs.........)

The model built and primed:

The Tamiya rattle-can was a joy to work with and this is the sprayed model with its red tail hand-painted. I chose to use a matt red to depict a M.T.O. sun-weathered finish.

Enjoyed working on the cockpit; the seat belts were made from Tamiya tape.

Completed model!

Looks fantastic. I think you really captured the essence of that particular aircraft.

You did a great job on this one. The natural metal finish looks great. Thanks for the pics , Bob

I like it you did one fantastic job !
