Academy Grumman TBF-1 Avenger Xtradecal X72140 "Yanks with Roundels Pt.2" It was a really enjoyable build and I enjoyed not getting bogged down in the details. I preshaded it with Tire black whilst I was spraying the wingwalks and invasion stripes, then added an oil wash using a mix of Paynes Grey and Burnt Umber after the decals and gloss coat. Xtracrylix Flat Varnish is the final finish as it is not dead flat, just a pleasing sheen. I plunge moulded my own window blisters for the fuselage sides, not perfect but look the part. The Xtradecals performed fantastically and I really like the look of the Turkey in FAA colours.     Respond to this message    Author Reply (Login turccson) HyperScale Forums 92.105.157.157 Wow is excellent work!!
