Remastering Ark Models 1/48 Polikarpov I-185 that I built last year, using some new techniques I have learnt since.

Scraped off the old decals, added some clear coats, panel lines, and new decals, as well as a couple more details. It's not as good as if I could paint the whole thing again from scratch, but I think it turned out ok and is a definite improvement! And as Ark Models are releasing an updated version of their I-185 kit (with engine and cockpit detailing) i'll probably be making another one later anyway. 🙂

The pictures taken on the yellow mat show the original model after I first built it, while the ones on the desk are the remastered version. 🙂
