Model Aircraft – September 2019

(Nandana) #1
they have produced decal sets for many
Wingnut Wings kits. This set (32057L) is a limited
edition, with only 125 sets being produced.
The set includes all the white diamonds for
the fuselage and wing loats, also etched
semaphores. The accuracy of the irst decal
placement is essential, as all the other decals
will run from this, fortunately you have one
ixed placed decal to start, this is around the

waist gun window, once this decal is itted,
all the remaining diamonds can be relatively
easily itted, to my pleasant surprise.  With all
the diamonds itted, the fuselage top and tail
are painted and installed, for the green, I used

MRP-252, and for the underside I used MRP-258,
with the ribs masked a light coat of a darkened
colour was applied, just to give a slight highlight
on the rib tapes. 
Due to the size of the wings, I wanted to
complete the hull section while this was easy
to handle, so the forward guns were painted
and installed, and rudder itted, and lash decal
itted. The canopy was masked using HGW
