Special Hobby 1/72 Supermarine Sea Otter

February 26, 2023 · in Aviation · · 22 · 0.8K

Probably taken me 8 or 9 months to finally get this one over the finish line. Life just gets in the way, eh ? Really nice little kit, with a decent level of detail for the scale. Finished mainly in MRP paint, weathered with various oil colours and MIG powders. The model depicts JM744, FAA No. 771 Squadron, RNAS Hatston (HMS Sparrowhawk), Orkneys, 1944.
