Airfix 1/48 RAF Albion 3-point refueler
Posted by TankerEasy on Saturday, July 21, 2018 5:02 PM

Finally finished up this 1/48 Airfix Albion 3-point refueler.  Over all id say its a good kit, only 4 sprues total so its really light on parts.  This is the second kit I've completed in about the last 2 months or so since I've returned to the plastic after around a 15 year absence so im still learning new techniques and while im happy with the weathering, I feel I went a bit over board in some spots.  The plan is to eventually build a 1/48 Spit and do a full dio, hence the mud around the wheels as if this thing has been sloshing around a muddy airfield Geeked

(images from photobucket, let me know if they dont show..)

I learned a few things during this build, that lacuer thinner will fog clear plastic, and dull coat, will also fog clear plastic lol..
