Ford GPA from Torro
Posted: Mon Feb 21, 2022 5:51 am
Good Morning,
Our model family has grown.
One Torro Ford GPA each for my wife and me....
There was also a crew for each:
Before painting there was still some work to do.
- Dismantle as far as possible
- Remove burrs and residues from injection moulding
- Making the drive for the propeller run smoothly (there was no backlash)
- Bridging water contact
- and many other small things
After that I could start with the airbrush.
For this I used the Olive Drab paint set from Ammo of Mig:
At the same time I painted the figures in the evening.
And this is how the two GPAs with crew look like painted:
The decals are difficult to work with, they crumble as soon as they get wet... I've never had that before.
I want to apply the big stars with the airbrush and stencil.
Now the weathering is missing and then the two are fit for the season.
