This is my first
build article on ARC (or anywhere else for that matter). The Tamiya kit
lived up to its reputation for a superb fit ,
so I went primarily OOB. I added a set of True Details resin diamond tread
wheels, Ultracast resin seat, E-Z paint mask for the canopy and aftermarket
decals. While surfing around the AeroMaster website for suitable decals, I
ran across the Thunderbolts Galore II (48-083) sheet and liked the camo scheme
of the "Happy Warrior" (63rd FS, 56th FG England,1944 and flown by
Major Harold Comstock). Bummed that they were no longer available, I
eventually purchased the set from another modeler. I elected to use Model
Master enamels to follow the bluish grey and medium green top and a
light aircraft grey on the underside.
Hope you like it.
