1/48 Trumpeter A-37A Dragonfly
Posted by Grant Dalzell on Wednesday, March 23, 2016 2:33 AM
Just finished this one, OOB. So my negatives about this kit were the intakes/wing to fuselage area was a bad fit, with gaps that needed plasticard and putty to fill. The inside of the intakes have huge steps so I used the FOD covers. You get a fair sheet of PE with this kit, but there are no antenna, either PE or plastic, so I stretched sprue. I don’t think the canopy is in the correct position, but it is the best I can get it with the frame system it has. These would be my main gripes about the kit. On the plus it is a new tooling of a Dragonfly.
Would I do another? Nope.
Paints used- For the Camo- Gunze, Tamiya and Vallejo acrylics.
Other paints used – Tamiya and Vallejo acrylics, Mr Metalizer dark iron.
Flory dark dirt wash and Mig satin varnish

 

As is common with Trumpeter, they have not given any information about the aircraft, Squadron, year of service etc.

Your attention to detail is magnificent.  Once again like your 105, the flory wash makes this build realistic!

Very good looking model! I really am taken with the paint job. The colors and blending seem just right.
