Finished model. I'm happy with the result. This is a strange kit but I had fun. It's easy to build but you need some mod...

JohnThis is looking good. I have wondered how good these HB "easy assembly" kits are and seems like they're not bad. 👍

Vincent AuthorThanks John, Indeed I was seeing these kits everywhere and it doesn't look bad. We will see what result I can get.

Mark SherwoodI built the HB P-47 Thunderbolt. It was quite a nice build, the engine was moulded into the cowling, but otherwise okay. Your build is looking good 👍🥸🤟

Vincent AuthorThanks Mark!!! I looks like a decent model when I look up other results on this side. The constructions seems really easy until now so thats always nice.

I agree. For the price these kits are well detailed, great value and fit together well. Though I too had same issue with the included invasion stripe decals - so decided to paint rather than use. I believe you've subsequently inspired me to buy this one too! 😉 You should be rightly proud... Love the metallic finish! 🙂 👍

Vincent AuthorThanks Neil. The P-47d kit is recommened to me many times and your build looks indeed very good. I'm keeping that one in mind for sure. I'm also happy with the metallic finish but I can still improve on that aspect. painting the invasion stripes I something I need to try again. I had a really hard time the first time I tried that on my spitfire mk-9 build.

Mr JamesVery, very well done Vincent. Your metallic work looks very realistic. And a great looking muddy field.

Vincent AuthorThanks James and Roland. Nice to see the metallic finish is getting praise. I was not completely happy but seeing the comments gives me more convidence.

Mark SherwoodA great build Vincent. The contrast on the metalwork is A+ mate. Those Hobbyboss kits are good and I agree with a few mods makes a nice finished model. As evinced by your P51.

Vincent AuthorThanks Mark for the kind words. I will surely try more of these hobbyBoss kits.

JohnLooks top Vincent. Metallic finish is not easy to pull off at all but yours is really good. Nice result from that kit too. 👍
