HyperScale Group Build Forum - "1/72 Scale Aircraft Kits": Tradewing finished old school style

Tradewing finished old school style September 3 2009 at 9:01 PM		(Login ironmike8) HyperScale Forums from IP address 76.121.239.155


I decided to stay true to the era of this kit and brush painted it even the future coat before the decals. The only real modification I did was I re shaped the spinners with some green putty since they were too short and too blunt. I did spray it with a semi gloss coat afterwards. Yellow tips on the prop blades are hand painted with no masking. I guess my hand was pretty steady that day

HyperScale's Group Build Guidelines

The objective of this Group Build is to encourage as many modellers as possible to build their kits and share their progress via words and photos on this Forum.

You are welcome to post general construction tips or relevant reference information and photos to this Forum too.

This Group Build will feature WWI Aircraft Kits.

This Group Build will run until 31 December, 2011.

Build as many kits as you like.

Conversions, aftermarket and scratchbuilding are all permitted.

Any markings are acceptable.

Document your progress and do a write-up on your build - where did you have trouble, what improvements did you make, what markings did you choose and why? It would be GREAT if everyone would do a writeup and submit it to HyperScale as a Feature Article.
