12/28/13 I built this model for my neighbor last month. It's his favorite aircraft and I must admit I love it too. This is the 1/72 HobbyBoss kit and is just a real jem, easy to put together and looks great when it's finished. The only problem I had was with the decals which would just tear apart with the slightest tension and did not respond to setting solution at all. I also used Eduards masking set for the canopy. After putting the kit together I sanded down the seams, sprayed it with Tamiya Fine Surface Primer then shot it with Tamiya Light Grey. After than I shot it with Future and put the decals on. Then another coat of Future and finally finished it off with ModelMaster flat. I shot the front windscreen with Tamiya clear green to tint it. The decal scheme was for the Jolly Rogers as that just looks cool. Now on to the pictures…
