Clearwater Models: RED KNIGHT of VIENNA (Monogram)

RED KNIGHT of VIENNA (Monogram)

The Red Knight of Vienna is a re-re-re-release of a late 1950s kit, and is now presented by Monogram/Revell in 1:8 scale as part of a series of knight kits.

The basic paint is Vallejo metalizer "Burnt Iron" Inside the helmet is a fully-painted head sporting a cheesy red moustache. The golden eagle is done with a Japanese art paint pen. The base in the kit is boring, so I added gesso and texture.

It took a second place ribbon at the IPMS Ottawa April out-of-box contest.

UPDATE: This model placed first in the giant CAPCON biennial model contest on 28 September 2019 at the Canadian War Museum in Ottawa. (Collections - Theme (groups of 5 knights in armour))
