And that is the model complete.
The base has arrived from my friend so now it’s just a matter of placing everything where it needs to go…
So in a very quick summary
Well it’s a Tamiya 1:32 kit so we know its going to be great! Aftermarket wise the barrels are very nice as are the resin wheels; the Aires cockpit looks beautiful but is a horrendous fit. The colour etch is OK but not really necessary in this scale and with the details Tamiya provide on their parts. The Iconiair RAF trolley accumulator is just lovely and the Roll Royce name plates add a nice touch.
And that, as they say is that – hope you like the finished result…

George Eberling says
Do you have a tutorial on how to do invasion stripes?
Geoff Coughlin says
Hi George,
That’s a good question and I don’t think so – specifically in the SMN Techniques Bank, but there will be! I’ll look to create one for everyone very soon. In the meantime, do check out Aircraft-Finished Now and pick any of the finished model projects that feature aircraft with these stripes and pick up any hints and tips that you can. Best wishes, GC (30Dec21)
