This is the first ship model I have ever made and I have to say I fully enjoyed the Bronco model.
It only has a few parts and it goes together in no time at all.
I basically built the model out of the box except for the loops at the front and rear and the two tiny eyelets at the front of the bow.
I also gave the exterior a going over to give the model a bit of a more used look by adding dents to it.
I painted the model with Testors paints and the torpedoes with Alclad.
I based the paint scheme on some references I found on the net.
I wanted to make it a well weathered model and I liked the idea of a heavy weathered upper part, a dirty water line and a less weathered lower part.
The weathering was done with a mix of Mig products and oil paints.
Enough talk here are the pictures
Any tips or comments are welcome.
Cheers,
JW
