G'day All. Finally finished my S/ways H.P. 0/400 & would like to share some pics with you.
I must say the model was perfect, very crisp printing, great wings & no strata on the fuselarge.
I researched the colour schemes for the 0/400 on the two WW1 Historical Forums & it appears most HP 0/400's had their undersurfaces repainted at Squadron level in either PC 10 or Olive Green after one with CDL was shot down on a daylight bombing mission so I chose to paint mine all PC10.
My PC 10 is my home brew from P3 Battlefield Brown mixed with GW's Catachan Green. Struts & Props are GW Bestial Brown, inside cockpits GW Snakebite Leather to give a good contrast to the crew figures which are Peter Pig gunners & Reveresco pilot. I had to cut some plastic sprue to raise both gunners to the right height.
Decals are Doms on the side & the Wing Rondels were very kindly supplied by F/O Kyte via Rob. The ID letter is from one of Keiths decal sets & the tail stripes from one of Zoe's strips. The Aircraft was finished with GW's Matt Varnish to seal the decals & give a constant overall effect.
The Stand is Aerodrome Accessories & the Bomber Pegs are Shapeways by jbmareck.
Cant wait to try her out on a Mission to squash a German Aircraft Factory.
