Hi everyone,

I just finished this nice little kit from Revell. It went together fairly well and I had to be careful to make sure I used the right bits for the F.58. The instructions were pretty good though and photographs helped with identifying and placing parts too. The model is brush painted with Humbrol enamels and varnishes.

















Thanks for looking!

Thanks Brews! I used humbrol 11 for the undersides with a little thinner added to it and the end of the tail cone is Humbrols aluminium metalcote.

Cheers

Very neat and attractive model and your brush wielding is very impressive!

Thankyou Joachim, to be honest I was a bit disappointed with the demarcation between the silver and the camouflage as it’s a little raggedy in places. However I would like build this kit again so it’s something to try and perfect next time!

Glad you liked it!
