This is
my first time to submit my work on ARC. The kit featured here is a 1/48 Hawker
Tempest Mk.V from Eduard and it represents Pierre Clostermann's personal mount,
"Le Grande Charles". Aside from scale modeling I'm also fond of
reading novels and as a kid I
once read Clostermann's "The
Big Show". I was therefore pleased to learn that I
can correlate two of my passions (scale modelling and reading) when I
learned that Eduard released this kit some years back.
Except
for the seat harness which were strips of masking tape, this kit was essentially
built straight out of the box. For painting, I used Mr Gunze RAF Colors no.2 and
later weathered with artist's oil and pastel chalk. Hope you enjoy the pics.
I would
also like to thank ARC for this opportunity to show my kit as well as fellow
members of IPMS Philippines
(Bert Anido Chapter) for giving me suggestions/
tips on improving my craft. Thank you!
