This was finished many months ago but has been gathering dust due to mojo fail. Surprising as it's the best model I have managed to create with my meagre skills so far. WIP is here. Eduard etch IP for the Italeri F-5E used, Quickboost seat and Mr Color paints. Masking was with the very wonderful Panzer putty as shown in the WIP. Decals OOB, worked perfectly except where I was stingy with the Alclad Aqua gloss. Let the show begin:
Eduard IP for Italeri F-5e with interesting paint wipe technique from ARC
Quickboost seat
Seriously pointy pitot made with Albion Alloys micro tube and 0.1mm rod
My best attempt so far doing burnt metal using various Alclad
Messy attempt at CMK light
Properly blue training round
Nose gear success: rim looks vaguely round thanks to Eduard masks
Main gear, washed and mildly weathered. Note short shot gear door, you'd think I would have fixed that wouldn't you?
Nicely polished landing lights - odourless cyano and micromesh
Final beauty shot
Cheers all
A
