Breaker Posted August 20, 2014 Share Posted August 20, 2014 This boxing and some extra seats I got off a member here. Want to do a medium sea grey over light aircraft grey scheme, Gulf 1 ish. Not too keen on the kit decals currently, need to have a look round see whats out there. If anyone has any suggestions, I'm all ears for decals! It's a well known kit so I'm not going to go into detail on the sprues. Started with smoothing the airbrakes in. They're only designed to go in the up position and I don't like the look. Used strips of card to build it up and then filler to skim the gaps. A lot of work went in just to get it to this stage! When I first started the kit, I just chucked it together, painted the gear bays white and then dirt wash. Honestly, it looked crap so I oversprayed it all with primer and decided to try and add some life in the bays. The panel I've made with the wire and card will eventually by a circuit breaker panel as that's what it seems to be on the photos I've seen of it. And with a quick coat of white primer. Cockpit next! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

James G Posted August 22, 2014 Share Posted August 22, 2014 Nice work on the wheel bays, they are crazily complicated! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Breaker Posted August 22, 2014 Author Share Posted August 22, 2014 Standard cockpit. It's not bad but I wasn't happy with just stock. Neomoega seats. Lovely detail in them! So I've taken the standard front IP and drilled it out for the dials. The stock part has raised circles for the dial faces. Decided to adjust the rear IP as well as it didn't look right. And the beginnings of the detailing inside the cockpit. Increased the size of the throttle handle, added a handle and the covers on the side 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pittnuma Posted August 23, 2014 Share Posted August 23, 2014 1 of my favourite aircraft, if not my top. Great start Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Breaker Posted August 26, 2014 Author Share Posted August 26, 2014 Got the gear bays in, looking better than the originals so I'm happy enough. Painted in light grey with a dusting of white. Cockpit is coming along, I'm strugging to give it the life I want to though. Might have to pick some more controls out in NATO black and a wash.

Breaker Posted September 8, 2014 Author Share Posted September 8, 2014 Haven't got a great deal of painting done, just got some sub assemblies sorted. Winged have been slotted so I can add them after paint. Used sprue spreaders in the tail to make sure if fits in the slot correctly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
