I did a similar thing. The camo on the Belgian Sea King is a bit frustrating. It will take some work to make the lines clean, and yellow/sand is already hard to do on a non-camo model (such as the Tornado I did earlier)…
Last weekend, my brother in law came over to our place. His favorite aircraft is the F4U Corsair. I decided to build the 1:72 Hasegawa Corsair for him, setting the weekend as a deadline for myself.
It was a lot of fun. It helps that it’s a very well fitting (I love Hasegawa) small kit with few parts, and a dark uniform paint scheme. Except for the yellow cowling, which I forgot initially, so that’s the ugly part. But for the rest, it turned out really nicely. With magnetically attached fuel tank, and a pilot added in. All in a fraction of the time I usually spend on a model.
End of day 1. Very proud of the engine.
Morning of day 2.
End of day 2. Only the canopy and pilot to go.
Finished those in an evening. the canopy did not even need glue, it just snaps into place!
I took some weathering equipment with me and did a few small decals and weathering here at the delivery site.
I’m feeling very energized and motivated to finish the Sea King!
