Scale Aviation Modeller International – September 2019

fuselage and wings separate
will ease the painting process.
The clear parts are then added
to the fuselage. Almost no
iller is needed on any of the
parts, just some sanding and
restoration of panel lines
using a Tamiya scribing tool.

PAINTING

All the glazing was masked
using Tamiya tape. Once this
is complete the framing is
painted with the interior colour.
Everything was then primed
with Vallejo Grey Primer using
an Iwata Neo airbrush. The
model was then pre-shaded
using Vallejo Model Air Black.
The underside grey is not
included in the Ammo set,
so I mix and spray it using
the colours suggested in the
instructions (67% - 75 grey,
33% - 05 White). The next step
is masking the grey areas and
spraying Ammo by Mig 228 on
the upper surfaces. Once all the
primary painting is complete
everything is coated with
Vallejo Gloss Polyurethane. The
decals were then applied and
performed well. Further gloss

is then applied. The underside

is given a panel wash using

Model Air Greens and Browns

thinned with water/alcohol.

This gives a distinctive dirty

water look, and then lying

controls are given a panel wash.

Paint chipping is added using

Ammo by Mig Zinc Chromate

and Revell Aqua Silver using

a sharpened cocktail stick.

Further details are added with

Tamiya weathering powders

for engine and oil staining. The

model is coated with Vallejo

Acrylic Resin Matt Varnish.

All the major components are

then inally assembled using

cyano glue. The antenna is

added using ishing line.

CONCLUSION

This kit, even with some

inaccuracies on the part of

the kit and on the part of

modeller still add up to an

enjoyable build. The it of all the

components was very good, and

this has led to a inal piece that

I am very pleased with. Thanks

to Revell for the review sample.
