Italeri 1/48 Douglas P70 by Andrea

[Andy the Sheep]

As promised, here are the outdoor pics of the completed P70 .

To tell the truth, when I put the model on the shelf I realized I forgot the aerial (the hole on the tail is clearly visible)... after some trials (CA cures rapidly only when you don't really need it and viceversa... ) I managed to have a decent one on, but I'll wait until tomorrow before trimming it to the required length.

Thank you. It was a paint scheme truly outside my comfort zone. I'm satisfied but next time I'll be more daring with tones and shades.

Thank you very much for the kind comments. It could have been better (the strict self-evaluator in me strikes back ), but I agree that it catches the eye, especially under the sun.
The only risk of a photo session in front of the garage is that with the temperatures we have in these days (above 31 °C) and being a black surface, there's the risk to melt or de-glue something!

Pretty sure, Andy: how could you explain my reward otherwise?

They were clearly under the effects of some of Matron's attentions.

As said, the radio antenna was missing but now it's on.

And that's all folks! Thank you for your attention and your encouraging words.
