Well, I finished her up! I will post the WIP photos below. This was really my first attempt at "weathering" an aircraft, so cut me some slack in that department. I need to paint the wing lights red/green, and find some thread or something to use as antenna wire. All of the pictures I found were not clear enough to see where exactly it attached to the tail rudder as well, the earlier models (C, D, etc) seemed to attach to the sides, whereas it looks like Maybe(?) the N-model attached to the leading edge of the tail rudder. (Not sure if that is the correct term, or if it is called the "vertical stabilizer?") I FINALLY got an airbrush that didint give me problems, a Badger Patriot 105, and couldnt be happier with it. I painted the model with Model Master Enamels, I beleive the colors are "Sand Armor" and "underside blue" or something to that effect. Another thing that looks kind of odd, is that the rear canopy seems to stick too far to the rear. (starts to cover USAAF roundels) The included rear part of the canopy was too thick to even fit into place,over the "spine" of the aircraft. Luckily it was a bonus pack that had a squadron vac-u-canopy included. Was my first time working with one of those as well. I hope you enjoy, I had alot of fun building this relatively low-parts count older model. Please excuse the photos, due to the level of my spinal cord injury, (paralyzed from about from the nipples down) I cannot actually outstretch both arms at the same time without "falling over". So it is hard as hell to hold the plane out and take a pic of it at the same time without a bunch of crap in the background, when it is one that doesnt have a landing gear down....
Thanks!! Rudy
