Airbrushed the yellow, most of my painting are usually applied by brush but anything that is a solid, bright colours, especially if they need to have a straight line are masked and airbrushed.

Decals were applied, the kits decals were nice and solid. The yellow on the insignias and rudder stripe matched my Tamiya yellow perfectly.

The lower surfaces shows some of the weathering that was applied. Most were done with a sharp black and silver pencils. I also used a little of Tamiya's Panel High Lighter on the flight control surfaces which was not done yet in these shots.

Great progress, my friend @v1pro!
Nice yellow airbrushing!

Here are the shots of the completed build of my 1/72 Amodel IAR-80c. No. 279, Escadrila 45 Vanatoare, Targsor, Aug, 1943. I will post the rest of my final shots in the headlines article.

Thanks!

Thanks Jay @ssgt, these past two years I have built a few of these short run kits and they have all been like this one. Pretty much every single piece will need some amount of time to clean them up. Some are easy, some are hard and with some parts I will either replace them from a part from another kit or scratch build it. They will usually end up looking like a nice kit with the correct overall shape and looks and in some cases it will come close to the only kits that is made of the plane. That said as you can see this one took some work.

The other problem that I get from these builds are: no locator pins and adding the interior items I have to engineer on how to put things together. Pretty much like working on a vacu-form kit.

My current helicopter is the same, lots of cleaning, a little of scratch building and a lot of adjustments.

Still I like them and the final look to me is worth the fight.

Thanks Jay@ssgt, I do like building models like this. That is funny about the misalignment pins, on my last two KP builds hardly any of them aligned.
