This model was another commission
piece built to the same brief as the 'Myrt', however I also added an
Eduard etch set (48220), brake lines made from fuse wire and areal wires
made from mono-filament thread. The
model was finished using the Gunze Mr Color range of solvent based
paints and
Vallejo acrylics for the cockpit details. In photos of the actual
aircraft I noticed that the upper surface finish appeared to be heavily
oxidised and to re-create this, I sprayed a heavily diluted mix of
Radome Tan over the base colour, until the desired affect was achieved.
Further weathering consisted of panel line washes, exhaust stains, and
scratches
and paint chips made with a silver Prismacolor pencil. The model is also depicted, fitted with a training torpedo.
