Accurate Miniature /48 F3F-2

 

Main addition to this already Lovely cockpit is the photo-etched pilot seat.  

First Little issue on the cool… but a small plastic card and the gap was filled in 

Test fit is amazing ! No glue or masking tape and the plane stands like this !  

Totally disappointed with Eduard canopy masks that don’t fit to the size of the kit’s canopy☹️
I reverse with the excellent canopy survivor set 

Preparing the primer session  

 

The blue was obtained with a mix of 1/3 of X-4 and 2/3 of X-14 

Painted yellow XF-3, did some maskings and applied a coat of X-26 transparent orange 

 

Mix of Alclad Aluminum and semi-mat aluminum was applied 

Minor correction on the aluminum paint on the tail  

Decals are applied and a light coat of gloss vanish before weathering
