Jabba Posted June 15, 2017 Share Posted June 15, 2017 Nice work on the cockpit. This does look rather sinister when painted black, a bit like the F-5s in "Top Gun". 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave_R Posted July 18, 2017 Author Share Posted July 18, 2017 Hi All, This one made it's way back to near to the top of the build queue. OK..... So I was spraying on the underside coat - and I spilt paint from the paint cup over the right wing. . It's not a disaster, but it is annoying. There's a bit of a dodgy patch on the underside, I'll give it fine rub down and re-spray later. I wanted see some of the black primer showing through so it wouldn't look too factory fresh, but it hasn't quite worked so I think I'll give that a bit more work too. Next though I'll put the blue camo colour, RAF Azure Blue seems to be a fairly good match. Dave. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Basilisk Posted July 23, 2017 Share Posted July 23, 2017 Getting there Dave . Always annoying when spills like that happen, but doesn't look too bad. Cheers, Peter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave_R Posted August 2, 2017 Author Share Posted August 2, 2017 Hi All, Here it is with added blue and green..... It's not quite right yet, it'll take at least one more go with each colour - but it's getting there. Dave. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dave_R Posted August 7, 2017 Author Share Posted August 7, 2017 Hi All I'm basically done with the paintwork and have taken off all the masking except for the canopy. It still needs some touch-up and the pitots etc. painting, but the end is in sight. Dave. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dave_R Posted August 23, 2017 Author Share Posted August 23, 2017 Hi All, Well it's slow going - too many other kits on the go, but I've made a small step forward. So, I've given it a gloss coat for the decals (thankfully no stencils to do) and put on the undercarriage. There's still some detail painting to do and the missiles and recon. pod to be added.

Basilisk Posted August 27, 2017 Share Posted August 27, 2017 Every little step counts (as long as it is forward) Looks great with the decals on! Cheers, Peter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave_R Posted September 2, 2017 Author Share Posted September 2, 2017 Hi All, Well, it's nice surprise to see I've got an extra week now. I got caught up in last weekends Blitz Build I so didn't progress this build at all. So now I've got no excuse for not finishing this one properly. I've it given a matt finish, added the recon pod and Atoll missiles and done some detail painting. I've now got the time to do some weathering and add the last bits of photo-etch.
