Hi,
Here are a few quick pics of my first completed build of 2012. It's the old 1/72 Airfix F2H-2 Banshee. I built it straight out of the box with few exceptions. I replaced the ejection seat with resin Obsucreco Panther seat. Not exactly correct but it looks much better than the clunky kit seat. I drilled out the cannon ports in the nose with a pin vise and that's about it.
I airbrushed it with Testors MM Gloss Sea Blue. The decals are from several old Microscale sheets, some requiring a coat of liquid decal film to restore them to usable shape. I chose to do this particular a/c from a photo in the Steve Ginter "early Banshee" volume.
Now to finish up my 1/72 RF-101H Voodoo conversion…
