  "1/48 Monogram's OS2U-3 Kingfisher"

  Hi again everybody, has been a while since my last posting, but here we go again.

  Here's my Monogram's OS2U-3 Kingfisher finished in Mexican markings, based in Veracruz, patroling the coast in 1941-1942 , I found a very little info about this particular subjet so it took quite time for me researching and finishing this model.

  I used neutral gray in undersurfaces and olive green in upper surfaces (as any typical U.S. green-gray airplane) I also used Lone Star resins for interiors (a lot of it) and Squadron's vacuformed canopy, and a lot of work re-scribing panel lines.

  I used decals from Zotz's North America set, they include just national insignias for several countries so the rudder had to being painted mixing up the red and green colors until it matched, more or less, with the decals colors. The panel were shadowed using pastels just as with all weathering and some dirt, I "peeled up" the paint adding some touches of silver chrome and aluminum with a small brush.
