Mr.X 1/72 Austin A/C

I'd nearly forgotten why I made a master of the Series 3 Austin as I hadn't had a chance to put one by for myself... well that's be rectified now!

It's always a bit scary building one of your own kits incase it won't go together properly but I'm happy to report that apart from shortening the armour plates that fit either side of the chassis it all went together very easily... Phew!

I used the Black Lion decals and they are superb, I wasn't sure of how well the white would cover over dark green but they are perfectly opaque, super thin and conform without any reaction to Microscale decal softener.

The oil wash came out a little heavier than I'd have liked and blown up about ten times it's size in the pictures looks really heavy handed but sat on the palm of your hand it looks ok.

So I just need to put by a Rolls Royce A/C now!

 

I hope you like the pics.

Bern

 Thanks Plastikk.

Yes the numbers and hands are decals from Black Lion Decals (sheet 72028)

You can find them here: - http://www.blackliondecals.nl/decals1-72-3.htm
