F2H-2P USMC Photo Banshee
Built for my club’s 2023 IPMS Nats group build

Kitty Hawk kit. Model Master Enamels, Flory Grey panel line sludge Wash, Tamiya rattle can semi-gloss clear. Citadel Nuln Oil Wash used in the landing gear and doors hinges. Kit decals, masked and painted stripes. Scratch built Flash bulb pod. Minor scratch built details in the cockpit and canopy areas. Mirrored “Little Lenses” (UK) used as camera lenses. Copper wire wrapped around tail hook to make the spring. No provision for posing the canopy open, but I like a model with a closed canopy occasionally.
