    RNZAF Kittyhawk Mk.IV NZ3287 "Esma Lee"

    Gee - that was fun!
    With the help of Duckie's tremendous P-40N paint kit (thank you so much, mate! ), here comes another one of them dirrty gals:












    This is the real one:




    I generally don't trust handdrawn profiles, but this one was helpful:



    Just some final testing and packing...

    Cheers,
    Markus.

    Shots look very good, Markus!
    Well done to you (and Duckie), love that weathered look.
    After a while, that tall 'n thin tail fin flash begins to look quite neat, actually...

    Great job Markus! A Warbird with out weathering is like...like..., well several things come to mind. Sufice it to say that in my FS world weathered warbirds are the rule rather than the exception!

    Yes!
    That Hasegawa 1/32nd model certainly looks great in that livery, in another time I'd have been tempted...

    Even dirtier...

    ... Gloria Lyons "I" comes around:







    Just a few touchups before launch.
    NZ3148 pretty much wears the same scheme as "Esma Lee", but the next "Gloria Lyons" will look a little different...

    @ Fauville:
    Thanks for disclosing my upcoming surprise!
    I'm already working on the blank metal sheets...

    Cheers,
    Markus.

    Stripping off paint is way easier!

    NZ3283 "Silver Barge" (one of three non-painted Kittyhawks in RNZAF service):

    It is...
    Doesn't that look sleek!

    On the weathered versions: how about a slightly "weathered" pilot too?

    Lovely work Bill- keep it up and I won't have to learn how to do repaints - you'll have covered all the RNZAF bases.......
