Hi All, the suitecase I'm referring to is the Handley Page Hampden. The build has already been completed but I'll be showing how I built mine from an Airfix offering I had stashed for a long time.
This is what it looks like completed...
Airfix gives you a basic interior with no detail on the fuselage side walls so I added ribbing. The canopies are closed except for the rear upper gunners position which had the option to be open.
Firstly I painted the interior and gave a dark watercolour wash which was wiped off with a cotton bud leaving remnants in the corners including the bomb bay doors.
Airfix gave an instrument panel print on the instruction sheet which I cut out and stuck onto the dashboard.
Cleaned up the guns and added seatbelts made from masking tape and bits of plasticard. The rest of the interior was given a dry brush with a lighter shade of the interior green mixed with white.
More to come later. Hope you guys are interested in the flying suitecase.
Cheers,
Richard
