Album info It's a very toy-like model. Main parts are moulded in silver plastic and detail parts in
gloss black plastic. Ailerons, rudder and wheels are movable. Stand is also included for an in-flight pose.
My aim is to do some kind of retro-modelling. That means I'll try to build as much as I can the very old way ,,, as I should have done in the late seventies. "Classic" Humbrol #11 silver overall brush painted , no putty , nail files, no clear varnish, and kit's decals. For the sake of economy (I didn't want to buy a lot of Humbrol tins), airframe details were painted with Tamiya enamels , and details were painted with acrylics (Gunze , Tamiya, and Vallejo).
Plastic is very hard and some parts don't fit as well as modern kits do, but I kind of like these basic VEB kits.
