This is my 1/48 Tamiya Beau
finished in Coastal Sqn 236 colours. The kit was built straight from the
box and painted using Humbrol enamels. Pre-shading was applied to the entire
airframe before airbrushing the invasion stripes.

After masking these off the upper
and lower surfaces were airbrushed in their appropriate colours. Semi-gloss
acrylic varnish was then applied before starting the laborious task
panel lining. For this black artists oil paint was used. Finally, the decals
were applied along with exhaust and gun port staining. From start to finish
the kit took about 1 week to complete and I was well pleased with the
result.
The "flying" shot was
created using photoshop. Removing the original background and the undercarriage
was easy enough but the background it is shown against is more than a little
dodgey! Never mind, it's the best I could do. Yet another outstanding kit from
Tamiya that fits together like lego. Unreservedly recommended! Go and buy one.
NOW!
