This Weekend in The Hangar: Chipping away at a build #2 - I've also experimented with the "Hairspray Method" of chipping on this G4M1 Type 11. It can net you a very finely chipped effect. See more on this method at: https://www.flypastrush.com/post/betty-1-48th-tamiya-isshikirikko-g4m1-type-11 #HistScaleModels #ModelAircraft #FinishedKits

1/48th Tamiya Isshikirikko G4M1 Type 11 (Betty)

My kit was built from the 1/48th Tamiya G4M1 version which was first released in 1996. This is one of the best kits I have ever built...

This Weekend in The Hangar: Chipping away at a build - One tried method to get that worn look was experimented with on my Ki-84 Hayate (Frank). See more on this method at: https://www.flypastrush.com/post/frank-s-paint-job-1-48th-otaki-ki-84-hayate-type-4-frank #HistScaleModels #ModelAircraft

Here is another old kit, originally released in the 70s. For its time this 1/48th Otaki Ki-84 Hayate was a decent, if basic, kit

The 1/48th Trumpeter T-38A Talon, released in 2014, was less than a year behind the 1/48th Wolfpack kit (2013). Both kits are similar in construction, detail level as well as price point.

Onto the finer details of my MiG-29UB (which always takes a disproportionate amount of time to complete, however it does add to the effect) Now, if I can manage not to break them off every time I touch it, I may get it to The Hangar later today. The crew is anticipating its arrival. #HistScaleModels #ModelAircraft

Another multi-media short run kit that can produce a great model (not easily) was this Two Bobs T-2 Buckeye. The type was not available in a main-stream kit, however this and the Special Hobby releases covered Venezuelan, Hellenic as well as USN markings: #HistScaleModels #ModelAircraft https://www.flypastrush.com/post/top-gun-trainer-1-48th-two-bobs-t-2c-buckeye

Two Bobs paired up with MPM to produce this USN trainer model kit in 2009, which had previously been ignored by manufactures.

The complex/challenging builds include multi-media short run kits. If your subject isn't available as a main-stream these can get you there, but it's going to take more work. I've built a few now & this Firefly was a favourite : https://www.flypastrush.com/post/rcn-warrior-1-48th-grand-phoenix-firefly-mk-1 #HistScaleModels #ModelAircraft

Although this 1/48th Grand Phoenix FireFly Mk.1 kit is not an easy build (as it is a multi-media production) it builds up into a great model
