My first model completed of 2011 a Tamiya Wildcat in 1/48 .Finished with the help of a Eduard PE cockpit set.








Finished with Tamiya and Revell Aqua paints and the kits Decals.

Thanks for looking

Martin

Very nice build Mr. Martin
Can you tell a few words about revell aqua colors behaviour in airbrush


Cheers Nick

I like it, but it a shame there si not more of these in the Midway Campaig anounced.

WOW great work

Great looking cat! Any pitfalls to look out for in this kit?

This is one of two wingy things in my stash and will be the prime candidate when I try my hand on a wingy thing for the first time in over 5 years (and counting...).

Cheers!

Thanks Nick

The Revell Aqua paint is great. I use de-ionised water to mix for airbrushing and the only problem I have is that the paint sometimes dries quite quickly in the tip of the airbrush so you might want to try some acrylic retarder to help prevent this or maybe something other than water to mix with.

Stefan

Again thanks .
This is a great little kit with no major pitfalls that I found. The only thing I found was a small gap when fitting the cockpit assembly into the fuselage which a thin strip of styrene sheet or spue will soon deal with .Other than that I used no other filler and only some CA for some seams.

Martin

Excellent work Martin. I have this one to build, thanks for the comments on the kit.

That's not a problem as I ALWAYS use retarder in airbrushing acrylics
Thank you very much Mr. Martin


Cheers Nick
