G'day Folk's,

This 48 scale Tamiya kit was built some time back as an OOB shop display in the markings of MB-T, having removed all traces of paint and decals from it's previous life, I repainted and rebuilt this as a 455 Sqn RAAF bird using the old AeroMaster decals from one of their 'Whispering Death' sheets and Xtra Colour enamels, the AEAF bands are not painted white and using the kit supplied black decals, but are individual piece of decal film, cut from the XtraDecal sheets of Black and White decal film.

The panel line and other weathering is created from using pastels.







The exhausts are my resin set, as the kit supplied ones are a little on the shallow side.
