Unfortunately I haven't had the time (nor the patience
) to add a decoration for this model.The model is made exactly as described in the boxart, half black, half duck egg, and I find this scheme quite interesting.
Well, as my personal touch I have decided tu put the red tissue patches on the machineguns, which in the weathering stage I decided that they look better punched and smoked, I have sprayed a matt cote which was previously mixed with some light grey and white (some of my homeforum mates say it should have been yellow instead of white) to give it the tarnished, used, exhausted warbird appearance and some worn out paint on the left wing...
In terms of extra detailing, the radiator aft was PE from the Eduard set, designed especially for Tamiya, some inside parts but since I don't make open-canopy models, that can't be seen.
As of defects it is full of them, in particular the rear part of the canopy, was rebuilt because I have managed to break the original one, the decals could be as well used as shopping bags (very thick) and no antena either
I would love to see your comments and please, be as cruel as you can
