This time my FM H-21 kit in 48th a long time favourite since I first saw the Aroura kit in the sixties. Not a nice kit at all, warped fuselage
half. Lots of scratch detail in the cabin, cockpit well apointed but all white metal parts , makes it very heavy for the nose u/c which had to be
modified with a syringe needle. Dropped it whilst applying the clearcoat, so had to strip it. FM were unwilling to supply replacement decals, Erwin at the Aviatin Mega Store helped out. Thanks again Erwin. At 40 UK Pounds it was a lot cheaper than an Aroura kit!

H-34 paint....

Hi Norbert,Thanls for your comments, it really was a hard build but a subject I liked. Originally I used Tamiya Gloss Sea Blue, but i dropped the model whilst applying the gloss coat. After stripping back to bare plastic I used Model Master. Thanks Colin
