I finally got a start at this great little kit. The only that has held me back since I bought it last summer was an inability to choose a scheme. There’s just so many great ones for this plane. I was leaning towards a British civil scheme or Spanish Republican colors when I discovered A17-296 on the ADF Serials website. The plane was attached to 8 Squadron (Hudson bombers), RAAF, in Malaya in 1942. ADF Serials features a photo the aircraft destroyed after a native constructed hangar collapsed on it. I found my plane! It fits my early Pacific war collection well.
I brush painted some Humbrol brick red on the visible fabric interior areas and over sprayed with diluted gray to simulate dope bleed through. I’ll brush paint the interior details next.
