Hello!
It has been a long time since i`ve posted some work!
So, here is the Italery kit, with the adition of several items from the Big-Ed dedicated set plus several details fashioned out of copper and plastic surplus material.
The paints used on this scheme were:
Sky - Gunze H-74
Extra Dark Sea Grey - Gunze H-305
Dark Slate Grey - Tamiya XF-73 JGSDF Dark Green.
All the building process plus a lot more of photos are present on the February edition of the Airfix Model World magazine (february) out now.
I hope you enjoy it!
With my best regards!
