SPA Modeler

My first build of 2023...




I will be building it piloted by 2nd Lt. George Welch, 47th Pursuit Sqn., 15th Pursuit Group, Wheeler Field, Oahu, Hawaii - December 7th 1941

Nice! I've been wanting one of these. New tool yes?

Yup. Bought a couple years ago or so at Hobby Lobby.

Looking forward to see how this turns out.

Spent a while making sure I have the paint colors indeed for this build. Don't have US Compass Grey at all. Ran out of it a year or so ago.

Since they are Humbrol color call outs, two colors kinda stumped me

Khaki Drill - not alternative paint for this one but it's definitely not Khaki Drab.


Interior Green - this particular color is neither green nor yellow zinc chromate. Definitely not RAF or US Interior Green. More darker than all of them.
It looks more like Khaki.

After reading the reviews and seeing this kit's seat has zero visible seat harness, I decided to make my own. I found a YouTube video on how to make my own. Here are the results...

Nice. I have this one in the stash. Love the scratch seat belts. I have decided to make my own where needed from now on as well. Super effort.

Does anyone see pics? I’m not seeing it on either my phone or iPad.

I see them.
