Ho-229 The main fuselage area is almost done

March 29, 2023 · in Aviation · · 12 · 472

Here's the 1/32 Zoukei-Mura Ho-229 I'm building at the moment. I opened up the two panels on the nose section in order to expose more of those fabulous engines. The tail section has been pre=painted with rust shades and will get a heafty coat of hairspray before getting a spotty metallic coat, followed by more hairspray and finally the outer coat. I don't actually know what color that outtermost color will be.
