SPA Modeler

Another bust is complete. Flt Lt James B Nicolson from Mitches Military. The leather was a bit challenging, and Im not totally confident with it to be honest. Enjoy!

Thank you!

Many thanks!

MB and MiniArt are a good choice as well. Theyre much cheaper like Stalingrad for example, but have great sets of quite uncommon sceneries in their range (I remember that soccer match for example or their civilian figures).

Good luck with your painting.

Good evening all. Im just back from the Chemnitz expo. This city is quite in the middle of Saxony (formerly known as "Karl-Marx-Stadt" in GDR times). Its a quite small expo with no competition, but that really doesnt matter. All you need is just right there: good modelers, very good models...

White color added. Front section got some more hairspray (2nd layer for the light blue) and the turret gun was added. Gun holes drilled with a 0.4 mm drill.

Youre welcome!

Nothing beats a cup of hot cocoa on the work bench on a cold stormy day in November. Except there coffee inside.

Black >> Tamiya Flat Black
Rear cockpit >> Vallejo Gun Metal (acrylic) + GW Nuln Oil (=black) washing, so are the side panels
Red >> ummm... cant remember, sorry. Just white as first step and a bright red help, or a darker variant of it as final layer.
