I am huge fan of ''what if'' index. Thing is i just love to do something different. I like to express creativity in models. Some model i make as they should be, but for eurofighter personaly i think it would look great in desert scheme, instead of low visb. camo. But still i will try to focus on details to copy original parts as much as possible. That model is from web called gekko graphics. They do some crazy ''what if'' scenario with intersting models and storys behind them. The next project will be Marine Spitfire 1/32 that will be as it should, but for eurofighter i would love to camo it in desert scheme. Only question is in markings. Spain has already few aircraft in desert scheme, but UK is also active in desert areas. But i will do marking when i am done with everything else. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Karlo Posted June 18, 2017 Author Share Posted June 18, 2017 Ok I am done with cockpit. I used light gray from revell but kinda it turned out to be too much ''light'' by my opinion. Decals where from old sheet, it seems with new molds decals just got wors then before. New seat is a bit better then old one in some areas. I used this photos as reference for my ejection seat and pannels. Still i am not done with all painting will fix some areas when i finaly put everything in place.

Karlo Posted June 18, 2017 Author Share Posted June 18, 2017 Looking at those panel i'm starting to get some really bad flash backs. Kinda remind me of my ex. So thin and shallow, every mistake will be here unforgiven (definitely my ex). So i will need to have different approach when painting this one. There are two possibilities: 1) To rescribe all panel lines, and make them a bit dipper. 2) To paint each paint directly on plastic, without a base layer. So what i would do here is split whole model in areas and then paint each area in suitable paint and only be carefull with joints betwen areas. So i am still not shure how i will do this. Well there will be scribing anyway... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Karlo Posted June 22, 2017 Author Share Posted June 22, 2017 Hello So far i am pleased with fits, but a plastic is soft. Normaly i am used to hard plastic from revell, this one is easy to play with and to rescribe. For now i am not applaying any putty to the model. Just gluing and sanding to get best fit. Upper part of fuselage was easy to assemble. Only thing i didn't like was vertical stabilizer. The split was wird, I thought they done it because of panel lines. But watching at a blue prints it was not. Still doing some rescribing, but please can anyone tell me what is that pennis like thingy on a back of fuselage ??? I have not seen that thing on old mold. Details are much more precise now and pannel lines look better then on old one. When it comes on upper part of intake i decided to build it in two parts. First i glued that part of plastic to upper fuselage, and then i will glue vertical part of intake to fuselage, when upper part is fully dry. I done some sanding and removed some flesh when i tried dry fitting. I hope there won't be any need for putty, because there are some really nice engraved details. (yes i am hairy sweetheart tho ) When it comes to missiles and undercarriage i will use old molds. Much more details. New missiles and already in one part, where old ones need to be assambeled. Up new, on bottom old. Thank you for watching, hope i will make some more proggres today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

andymoore Posted June 23, 2017 Share Posted June 23, 2017 I believe the 'thingy' you are referring to is a rear missile warning system 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Karlo Posted June 25, 2017 Author Share Posted June 25, 2017 (edited) The build is slowly going in good direction, i removed vertical stabilizer so i could do better tension with duck type to hold model on spot. Well with new molds there are some improvments. For example if i sanded wings a bi better and if i had tamiya cement i could assamble wings without any putty ! First i would glue and cement front part of the wing, when everything would be dry i would then do back part of the wing, and then bottom of the wing. But this way i got solid conecction and i used putty mostly to do proper leveling so i get smoother transition from fuselage to wing section. My only concern are panel lines. Please if anyone can tell me if they are deep enough so you can actualy use some wash and get good results or they must be engraved a bit ? I Know if you take a look at a size of a model they are nice, but sometimes when painting with a brush that could be tricky. I hope i will do all geometry this week and i will start slowly with painting. Any suggestions, fedback or critic is more then welcome ! Thank you I already done some rescribing on bottom front part of fuselage. Hope i won't destroy details when sanding here at a bottom of fuselage. Should i mask area again before sanding ? And one more question, i use revell plast, so how long does it need to be fully dry ? This is my guide for panel lines.

Karlo Posted July 1, 2017 Author Share Posted July 1, 2017 (edited) Everything is sanded and i started to paint some come ! God damn , no more photos Edited July 1, 2017 by Karlo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Karlo Posted October 3, 2017 Author Share Posted October 3, 2017 (edited) Testing Flickr a bit and showing some work done. Panel lines where rescribed since they where a bit shallow for brush painting. Canopy seam was fixed and mostly main part of aircraft is done. Landing gear, missiles and more details are missing for now. It is a bit different eurofighter but i hope you will like it. Any suggestions feedback is appreciated. I done some mistakes but i hope i learned from them. During model transport i lost missile warning system and i lost one part of storm shadow missile . Learned to even thin a color a bit more and do two or three Extra layers for better result and while engraving panel lines i should use more type instead of free hand scribing. Well i hope i will not do same mistakes again (but i Know i will). Also found cool product called "vallejo glaze" i will try to experiment with it to get paint blending in future build. So here are some photos, hope you gona like them a bit: IMG_20171003_212818 by Karlo Miletić, on Flickr IMG_20171003_212800 by Karlo Miletić, on Flickr IMG_20171003_212744 by Karlo Miletić, on Flickr IMG_20171003_210818 by Karlo Miletić, on Flickr IMG_20171003_212655 by Karlo Miletić, on Flickr And yes i had a bit trouble with installing canopy so i cut some parts to get a bit better fit but still didn't get perfect fit :/ Edited October 3, 2017 by Karlo Text edit Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
