The Flying Dump Truck (plan B)

[Neo]

hey Guys

for those of you who followed my short SuperBug entry well this is plan B, for the rest shame on you


Kit : 1/48 Tamiya Skyraider often called the flying dump truck

I got this kit has a prize right here in the BSC 2012 from SMA Spud. Thanks buddy.
and since we fight for honor , im gona honor him and try to build the best skyraider ever

this one will be out of the box although i had a serious hitch for the new wolfpack wingfold set!!


here is the proof of life

and the current progress

Ive never built a tamiya kit before and i must say its goes together nicely. One thing i was a little disapointed on is that contrairy to the kit the weapons have serious fit issues and has of now are what required the most work

More soon

Cheers

Cool bird! Tamiya kits are plastic gold IMHO, especially the newest tools....

[Neo]

Wow im glad you guys are following along ! i was afraid interest would be faint !

ahhh motivation

 

[Neo]

Allright here is an update


Since i make it a personal mission to try something new on every build i make this time i decided to try and do a pannel line wash prior to painting instead of a preshade with my airbrush.

Personnally i thisk its a hell of a lot less work!!! and i really liek the result!

the underside was primed with humbrol aluminium paint has i find it makes it alot easier to do a white paintjob.

then i hit it with MM flat white. and if i say so myself this is my nicest paint job to date!. im still having trouble ajusting to my new LED ceiling lights in my man cave and the color in my pictures are a bit off

More to come soon!!

Thanks for following

Cheers
