first steps
started the cockpit, very nice from the box
Painted with Gunze, i find it a bit to dark especially when the fuselage is together, despite the large greenhouse
so i am going to use the basic colour with white or yellow added to over spray parts of the cockpit to get a more visible view of all this
(yes, it's not correct 🙂)

Wilfried Bogaerts
Nice ! 🙂 🙂

some more work done in the cockpit
pictures taken outside in the sun, not the best idea apparantly

This is the ex-matchbox kit right? It needs some work in the cockpit

Augie
I thought it was new mold? All Matchbox molds went to Revell?

Jan Goormans
Sherif and Augie, this is the "new mold" Trumpeter kit
will be build out of the box as i do most of the times

Augie
thanks Jan, thought as much

Philip De Keyser

pit looks great already. Reminds me of the 1/48 AC miniatures I made a couple o' years ago

Jan Goormans
Finished , the markings and the weathering are completely done with the airbrush.

By the tail wheel, the flight picture would appear to be land-based; and your build has a the feel likewise. Is this a USMC VMB? Looks COMAIRSOL, 1943.
