1/72 Frog Westland Wyvern

by Paul Cherriman

--------------------

 

This is the old Frog 1/72 kit of the Wyvern. To begin things off I rescribed all panel lines.  The wing folds were done with a mixture of etched brass and scratch building.  The cockpit was scratch built with an Aeroclub seat.  

All wheel wells, undercarriage & canopy was detailed or replaced with aftermarket items.  I Painted it to represent an aircraft from HMS Eagle during the Suez crisis.  For painting I used Aeromaster paints and masked and sprayed the recognition strips.  The weathering was done with pastels & sepia washes. Finally the decals were the original kit decals from the box.
 Feedback very welcome.
