For the first
time in more than 25 years I’ve built a 1/48th scale model. I got this model
as a Kris-Kringle present from a friend last Christmas and I decided to build
it, despite not being my preferred scale (1/72nd the True Scale :) )

This new
tooling Airfix kit is really nice. Excellent details with fine and crisp
engraved panel lines. The overall fit is outstanding and I barely have used
putty.
The
model was done Out of the Box except for the seat belts I scratch built using
aluminium foil.
I
also have used the decals provided, in this case it is for a plane flown by
South Australian Flt Lieutenant Donald Smith (RAAF), Sussex, England 1943.
Overall
painted using Tamiya acrylics. Weathered using a combination of Tamiya Accent
Panel washes, Dry Pastel Chalks, Pigments and Watercolour Pencils.
