The kit was painted with Humbrol enamel colors, using as base color N° 7 (light buff), using N°24 (trainer yellow) and N°149 (radome tan) to try to achieve the yellowish cream color seen in the original aircraft, (it should be noted that the museum is painted blue as seen at the beginning of the article). The flag on the tail rudder was painted with Vallejo paints applyed with a brush and the rosettes of the upper plane are decals from Aztec Decals. The riostas were made with the method of heating a sprue and stretch it to get a fine plastic thread, which was glued with cyanoacrylate to achieve the desired effect. It should be noted that at that scale it is almost impossible to present all the riostas carried by the original aircraft. The interior of the nacelle was also painted in different shades of Vallejo brown trying to give a woody look. It was varnished brilliant using Microgloss varnish and the matt tone was achieved with Modelmaster dull cote. I hope you liked the article and getting into a part of the FAV’ history through this kit which is now part of my beloved FAV aircraft collection.
