The first Red Baron I built was in 1968 , it was my first Tom Daniel kit and is still my favorite . This time around I wanted to maintain the out of box look but still add a few personal touches . I started by swapped the kit tires for ones from my parts box along with white letter decals from Fireball Modelworks , then I replaced the front axle with the poseable chrome parts from a Revell Street T kit . Lastly I modified the helmet by adding a skirt around the base and decorating it similar to a WWI German Helmet .
Along with filling the seams and painting the fuel tank I added some gauges and pedals to the interior , the rest of the build is box stock . A little BMF on the console , some wash on the engine and machine guns , and opening up the exhaust is the only other detailing .
The paint is Tamiya TS-85 Bright Red Mica and TS-14 Black , both topped with Tamiya TS-13 Clear .
This was a quick build and I had some fun with it . I hope you like it and thanks for looking !
