Allright, here we go with the first post of mine...
Here we're talking about Cat from Hell of Lt. Cmdr. Richard Stambook, VF-27, USS Princeton during the Battle of the Leyte gulf, october 1944.
Model is made OOB and is painted with handbrush, using Humbrol enamels (34/144/77) and MM gloss and matt cotes. Wash was made using dark grey Vallejo ModelColor, which was followed by matt cote and heavy weathering by pigments...
There are still some minor errors to be corrected - have to paint antena mast and fix joint between canopy and fuselage...
Please don't have mercy with comments and critics - going to be brave after my first post and stand the fire  |

Country: | Are you kidding me? You think you will receive ill reviews for that? Beauty. Especially from one who has made hundreds of 1/72nd aircraft, that is wonderful. Please post some more with mid-build pics.
