Eduard 1/48 Wildcat Mk.VI

April 20, 2024 · in Aviation · · 29 · 249

I got this one as part of my Birthday present last year along with a Bunny Club Membership.
Of course this one had to be an FAA subject.
The colours should probably be the equivalent ones but I don't have them so standard TSS it was and to be honest I really don't care.;)
Whilst not as great a kit as their Zero this is still a fantastic kit which didn't give me too many issues other than the usual self inflicted ones.

Primed with Mr. Surfacer 1200 Grey.

Painted with.
Colourcoats Interior Green, Sky S Type, Insignia Red, Dark Slate Grey and Extra Dark Sea Grey.
Nato Black, Rubber Black, Flat White, Clear Red, Clear Green, Clear Blue and Clear Orange
Xtreme Metals Aluminium.

Weathered with a Flory Dark Dirt Wash and Daler Rowney and Abteilung Oils.

Thanks for looking,

Cheers,
Alistair
