Guy RumpAn old Frog kit under the banner of Eastern Express. A fair amount of flash to get off but nothing major. 🙂

Gary KitchenThanks Guy. Hope you don't mind but I've just loaded up a few photos of my effort last summer. Not in your class obvs but reminded me I hadn't done so yet. 🙂 👍

Guy RumpI've just had a look and commented Gary. I hope mine turns out as good as yours. The Special Hobby version is in a different class to the old Frog one. 🙂

Guy RumpInterior of aircraft Val lejo RAF interior green. Pilot, gunner and cockpit inserted into the fuselage.
Fuselage together and wings attached. Apart from some filling on the wing attachments to fuselage, not a bad fit. 🙂

Gary KitchenLooking good so far. 👍. Apparently it was a bit of lumbering beast. But I have to say... those shaped wings... gotta love 'em.

Gordon SørensenGreat detail (what little there is in this kit) painting. What colour did you use? I am thinking of using Model Master Green Zinc Chromate, then a Dark Gray Wash, and a maybe some Prismacolour Silver pencil to simulator wear...

Guy Rump@Gary, thanks for your kind comments and yes, the wings are so very different to anything I've built before 🙂
@ Gordon thanks for your kind comments. I used Vallejo Model Air interior green (specific to RAF) I do like your ideas for your version. 🙂
@Lukasz thanks for looking! The machine guns are hugely out of scale. 🙂

Guy RumpCanopy masked and painted, gloss varnish and OOB decals put on. (The decals supplied were awful).

OlivierThis white background is making the plane too dark. Pity if you ask me. There is a lot of nice details to see.
4 April 2021, 11:53
Guy RumpA few more photos, now ready for the matt varnish and final weathering. 🙂

Guy RumpFinally regarded as complete. Not a great model in terms of fit and decals, but an unusual aircraft.
This model depicts an 84 Sqn RAF Vengeance that operated out of India over Burma during 1943. 🙂

OlivierIt reminds me of the Frog version I did back in the 70's. The end result of yours is much more attractive though.

Guy RumpMany thanks mates for your very kind comments 🙂
@ Olivier: you are indeed correct, although this was released by Eastern Express, it is indeed the Frog tooling.

Patryk S.Very nice model! Brings back memories as I did assemble it from the zts boxing when I was a kid. Thanks for sharing!

Łukasz GlińskiIt brings memories back indeed 👍 And reminds it was not an easy one 😄 Nice result mate

Daniel KlinkIt is really very difficult to produce something presentable out of some of those older Frog kits.
The Vengeance is one of those, and you made a terrific job here Guy...👍
Despite of the sinkholes at the upper front Fuselage but anyway i like the result a lot mate 👍

Gordon SørensenVery nice finish, Guy! I hope mine turns out half as good as yours!

Duster_dWow! It looks just great! I have the same kit in the stash. Maybe I'll get to him someday 🙂

Guy RumpThanks for the kind comment Duster_d. 👍 The only thing I can recommend is to get some after market decals as the ones provided are quite naff. 👍
Many thanks mates for your interest and likes Duster_d, Rui R & Matti T. 👍

Duster_dGuy Rump, yes, the decal in my "Vengeance" from ARK is simple, the same variants as in the original 1974 FROG decal. But there are two copies from different manufacturers in the box, ARK has an eternal mess with decals 🙂
