null_null981707818191 Posted June 25 Share Posted June 25 Lovely build - thanks for sharing. Seeing outcomes like this rather tempts me to try 1/48th scale - if only I had the space! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Although it's my main genre, I'm more interested in the process of making them and seeing their lines.........so there's tonnes I don't know about the real things 🙈😁 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Valhalla Posted June 26 Share Posted June 26 Are they not identification lights (IFF) Identification Friend or Foe ? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hi 👋 They were shown on the painting/decal placement part of the instructions, so guessed it should of been done like that 🤷♂️ 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

After a Google search I see you are right 😊 it was informative. They had to display a certain code, for that particular day, under differing circumstances. I had no idea. Thank you. Gavin.

Pretty Mediocre Modeller Posted June 26 Share Posted June 26 you'll see those lights in that combination on several WWII allied aircraft, such as the Lancaster, Mustang, Hellcat etc, they are indeed IFF lights. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SD45elect2000 Posted June 27 Share Posted June 27 It’s a neatly done model for sure. Randall 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dominic Thomas Posted June 27 Share Posted June 27 I like the uniformity of the grey, and sky underside for that matter. Did you spray or brush? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hello 👋 Airbrushed what I could, using hand brush for the small detail work. All with Vallejo ModelAir paints. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
