1/72 Dove Refurbishment VH-DHK (CSIRO)

[VH-WAL]

This Dove is a Rareplanes kit I put together at least 5 years ago. It was finished as MMA's VH-MMN "Nullagine" but not long after completion I started getting some very strange paint shrinkage under the decals, and it was pushed to the back of the shelf, then banished to a box with the intentions of refurbing it. Well it's turn came up and it has been resurrected with a new paint job and identity. I still have to trim the decals with a scalpel blade. and touch up the nosewheel I just noticed, anyways looks miles better than it did before.

OK....now that is very nice!!!
Indeed living proof that refurbs can yield outstanding results when the effort is put in, (proves my theory that you never throw out a kit that can be "rebirthed" down the track).

That's a lovely looking model. I've never seen a CSIRO aeroplane before, that's a pretty nice colour scheme for a government owned aeroplane. How did you get such a find looking metallic finish?

[Graeme H]

Really great job Wally, very different colour scheme, top notch work

Very nice Wal.
