I agreed to build this because the wings were supposedly designed to come off, making shipping/storage manageable. Well I couldn't get them back off so I had to pack this beefcake as is. What a nightmare. Anyways, the guy I built it for supplied some extras, which included Master gun barrels, Brassin resin wheels, and the decals, which were made by Zotz. I added PE seat belts I had in the stash. Main stars and bars were painted on with Montex masks. The paint was AK Real Colors with alternating shades of OD 41 and faded OD. I was happy with the effect. This would have been a serious tail dragger, so I added 200 grams of Crossman BB's to the nose. This was my first attempt at the chipping technique using liquid frisket on the cowl. I was pleased with the effect and use it often now.
A few in progress pics.
