falcon Posted January 8, 2017 Share Posted January 8, 2017 (edited) Started this just prior to the New Year and did the majority of the build and paintjob on the 1st and 2nd of January. Airfix 1/72 Hunting Jet Provost T.3. straight out of the box. Gunze paint for the white and Light Aircraft Grey, Tamiya flat black, Vallejo silver and Xtracrylix for the red. Decalled yesterday, glossed up, masking removed and last couple of bits added this morning. Edited July 10, 2017 by falcon Photobucket killed my links. 39 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

polo1112 Posted January 8, 2017 Share Posted January 8, 2017 Wonderful job on this little Jet Provost. But just a little question: why do you use 4 different brands of paint to achieve your work? Personally I only use one, and since 1963 it has always been the same, Humbrol. (in 1963 I was 12 years old and just started with scale modelling.) Cheers. Polo. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kev67 Posted January 8, 2017 Share Posted January 8, 2017 Looks a really nice kit. you have done a good job on her 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cngaero Posted January 8, 2017 Share Posted January 8, 2017 A really neat Jet Provost. The incorrect positioning of the tricky undulating demarcation line between the red and the white on the fuselage can often spoil an otherwise well finished model, but not in this case, you've got it spot on. Thanks for sharing. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chrish Posted January 8, 2017 Share Posted January 8, 2017 Fabulous build. May I ask if Gunze LAG is the best match for 1970's RAF trainers. Do you know if Vallejo or Tamiya have colors that would also work? Thanks 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark4700 Posted January 8, 2017 Share Posted January 8, 2017 I must say these JP's look like a really nice kit. You've done a terrific job with this 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phone Phixer Posted January 8, 2017 Share Posted January 8, 2017 Great little build. Lovely finish to your work. Mostly built in 2 days, quick work. It usually takes me that long to study the box contents!! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I did try to use just Humbrol acrylics, but they just kept on clogging up my airbrush. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ForestFan Posted January 8, 2017 Share Posted January 8, 2017 Super! I didn't fancy all the masking when I did mine 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
polo1112 Posted January 8, 2017 Share Posted January 8, 2017 OK Falcon, I forgot to say that I use Humbrol paints, but never the acrylics; I only use Enamels, they need more time to dry, but I find the result a way far better. But that's only me. Good night to every one. Polo. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
