This 1/32 scale kit from Wingnut Wings exemplifies the brand’s renowned craftsmanship and attention to detail. I applied subtle enhancements to the engine using fine wiring, and incorporated turnbuckles from Gaspacht Models to refine the rigging. The entire airframe was painted using masking techniques, with the exception of the American flag and rudder markings, which were applied as decals.

The build progressed gradually over the span of several years, completed in intermittent sessions. I chose to finalize it as an opportunity to experiment with new painting methods and materials, all in preparation for ongoing projects. I’m highly satisfied with the outcome — it represents a direction I intend to pursue further.

I hope you appreciate the final result.
