I was lucky enough to get some time in yesterday finishing of the Pegasus LCVP construction phase.
I say phase but I mean 10 minutes. Lovely fit, with just a wee bit of putty added at the stern to fill a gap.
A quick wash in soapy water to remove the oil from the plastic then a coat of primer.
I mixed a couple of greys from my sons poster paint and gave it a disruptive sea scheme. I was getting sick of just painting them grey and I have seen them with similar patterns. The LCVP behind is a Airfix Heller kit which is better detailed but my monies on the Pegasus kit for wargaming. Note I broke one of the .50 Cals off, I was in a hurry and it will be fixed without a hassle. This part of the kit is a little fragile an could have been better designed I think.
Model on!
The camo looks good on the LCVP. I agree that the Pegasus model is a bit fragile as well. The mg mounts, and the hinges for the ramp are very prone to breakage. I had to replace some of my hinges with wire after they broke off.
ReplyDeleteCracking start Paul. Pity about the .50cal but then I guess if it can be fixed without a hassle, all is good.
ReplyDeleteCheers EY I will have to watch those hinges then as well.
