Hector Posted September 1, 2007 Share Posted September 1, 2007 You know when you can feel a project slipping away from you, and the model in front of you no longer looks like how it did in your head? I'm reaching that point right now Torn between which scheme to go for. Neither look right to me. Apologies for the white-out effect on the pics, not sure what happened there. The camo schemes are still a bit rough right now as I try to decide which to do. To be honest I'm tempted to take a rattle can to the model and be done with it. I've only got 2 evenings left to finish her. Maybe choosing a model with dodgy fit, 4 colour camo and then dropping the flaps was a bad idea? I swear, next year I'm doing a 1/72 tank! Nev, well, a new modell is always a new challenge, and you cannever be frustated witha kit, well you are always learning, and not only with kits ............. Uhm sounds like a philosophal and with this kit sure you learn a new technique .Nev, which paint do you usuallly paint, and watching your pics , is it hand paint? If you paint with tamiya , you can remove with alcohol and try again. Let me know. Best regards. Héctor Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nev Posted September 3, 2007 Author Share Posted September 3, 2007 Well, I'm a lot happier with how it looks now - photos are still a bit dodgy, I think its the early morning light in the living room. I actually would have got this almost finished last night but I was "asked" to come to bed for some "cuddles" :party: Sadly, "cuddles" was not a euphemism, but a literal expression So here she is, 90% done. Going to try and finish her off this morning before I go to work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nev Posted September 3, 2007 Author Share Posted September 3, 2007 Decaling finished! Just final touches, undercarriage and flat coat to go now. Ignore the streaky paint finish, I only put one coat of Klear/Future on to save time. Much happier with how she is looking now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nev Posted September 4, 2007 Author Share Posted September 4, 2007 Ok, here is how it stands at completion of the GB. The model is actually only 95% complete - I still need to do a bit of weathering, a few details and then a flat coat (should get rid of streaky paint finish caused by only 1 application of Klear/Future). I'm a lot happier with it now than I was at the weekend - I made a lot of stupid mistakes and bad choices with this build. I'll put it in Ready For Inspection when its finished-finished.

Nev Posted September 5, 2007 Author Share Posted September 5, 2007 Thanks guys Wayne - Notice how the gear and flaps are down, it's done a few touch and go's Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
palacefan Posted September 5, 2007 Share Posted September 5, 2007 Its the best part of modelling in my opinion, takes me back to 1979 few a few seconds. I often take a primed jet on its maiden flight only to see out the corner of my eye my wife smiling at me. Again Nev, great idea very well executed.
