Feeling Snarky

This is the re-released old Revell Snark, box-scale approx 1/81. Biggest task was sanding off all the rivets and raised decal-placement mouldings. Revell provide white decal stripes for the markings but I wasn't sure how well they'd fit so they were masked and painted. The build article is in this month's (March 2013) issue of Airfix Model World.

    Cheers Jim - 'mask frenzy' is an apt description, took hours to apply.

    Yes, I like colourful subjects. Some modellers choose their subject matter based on a historical incident or the biography of a particular airman; My decisions are based on how bright and shiny the aircraft is; I must be shallow :) There are a couple of more subdued subjects on the workbench right now.
