A detailed review of the Tamiya 1/48 F4U-1D. A fantasic 90’s era kit from Tamiya that still holds up well today.
A completed build of the Hasegawa AV-8B Harrier II Plus on display in the Model Showcase.
A completed build of the Tamiya De Havilland Mosquito FB Mk.VI on display in the Model Showcase.
A completed build of the Italeri KA-6 Intruder on display in the Model Showcase.
In part eight, the final installment of this build series, we weather the aircraft and assemble the final pieces. The full completed build gallery can be found in the showcase.
In this post we throw down the base coat, do some detail painting, and finally apply all the decals.
In this post we put down some primer and clean up a few remaining blemishes. I also go over the scheme options and chose paint scheme to use.
In this post we finish up the fuselage, clean up a few more seams, and add some nose weight. Finally, we clean it up to be ready for priming.
In this post we sand, and sand, and sand, and sand some more. We also attach some remaining fuselage bits.
