Builder Posted October 24, 2017 Author Share Posted October 24, 2017 (edited) Next update. A lot of sanding was conducted and then the panel lines were rescribed using hard edge tape and tamiya rescriber aling with a pin vice and some scribing templates. The exhausts were then painted with Tamiya XF 16 Aluminium enamel and a touch of black paint. These were then masked and the kit painted with Humbrol 140. The seam line between the wings and fuselage is gone. Very happy with that. Good to see all that filling and sanding really paid off. Also the rescribing came through as well. Still a lot of work to do. Details to be painted on. Weapons, Panel lines, landing gear, decals, gloss coat and matte coat. Hopefully get it done before deadline day.

Builder Posted October 25, 2017 Author Share Posted October 25, 2017 (edited) Next update. The panel lines were done up using a Black Copic Multiliner Pen - 0.03mm tip. I also used Vallejo Grey Wash on the grills The panel lines on the metal parts were done using a Grey Multiliner Pen with a 0.05mm tip. This was then followed by a gloss coat using Pledge Floor Care Decals will be next. The weapons are also being worked on, but I havnt got any photos of them yet. Hopefully get it all sorted before deadline day. As always all comments welcome. Edited October 25, 2017 by Builder 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
