1/72 Vultee P-66 Vanguard

Hi everyone from Spain.  This is my 1/72 P-66 Vanguard kit.  This is an beautiful airplane that was used almost exclusively by Chinese Air Force during WWII.  The manufacturer is Sword, and it is classified as "limited run for expert modellers".  I think that all patient modellers can build this.

The kit contains resin and photoetched parts and two vacuformed canopies.

I built it almost OOB, adding only some cupper wires for the cockpit, and new guns. I painted the model with Gunze Sangyo's acrylics and I weathered it with pastel chalks and artist's oils.

Happy New year for everyone from Málaga, Spain.

Fernando
