I have a fair idea how i'm going to do it now. Thanks for all the directions.
@ Ed, building on 1/300 must be quite a challenge. It is so small. On the other hand it saves space when you display them. One of the reasons I went from 1/48 to 1/72 was lack of space.
I'll post a few pics when I finish the Buffalo.
Hi Huib,
The 1/300th scale only contains assembly when they are larger bombers or a more detailed fighter.
They are die cast metal and only need a bit of clean up prior to painting. I had an adventure putting the Swastika decals on the tail fins of the Bf-109s!
Also painting the eyes of the pilots were a bit tough, (that is a joke as no pilots are included in 1/300). ;)
I'll try to get some of the planes together and take a few pictures with some coins to show what the scale really looks like. :smoke:
Sadly, my eyes are not what they used to be and I have more planes to paint then I can actually see. :(
