Luftwaffe Pilot by Tamiya

Post by digger303 »

After some encouragement and it staring at me for months I dragged it across to the paint and had another go....well several goes and this is the best I could do.

Definitely done now. :D
Well almost when I have the matte varnish out again I might give the face another quick coat.

Nicely captures the swagger of the uniform. Harry Hun certainly looked the part, you can just imagine him swanning around Paris in the summer of 1940. Little did he know that 5 years of war lay ahead if him and his friends.

Nice work on a very old figure :clap: :clap:
Its been tried and tested, it works! So don't blame the system if you're no good. :doh:
