My 1st attempt with my new camera to post pics on here.
I had trouble captioning the pics and Photobucket would only allow me 4 pics for some reason.?????
I named her after my bingo addicted wife, she said " I wish I looked like the nose art " LOL
I found a pic of the real thing with the yellow checkered nose that caught my eye and just hadda try to model it.
I used Alclad II polished alum. over various base coats on different panels.
Foil duct tape on the cowling exhaust just for interest.
Copied the nose art, hand lettered the Bingo Barb and made the decals using Photoscape.
The black checkered squares are also decals I made painting a blank decal sheet black, then cutting out the squares and appling them.
Hand wired the engine and brake lines.
The machine guns are hypodermic needles of the proper scale size.
I have yet to seal coat her and do the weathering among other things.
I appreciate all the tips and techniques offered by you kind modelers and used most if not all of them so far.
Any comments , expecially criticizms welcome, they will only make me a better modeler.
