  1. Hi guys i finished the painting phase on my cat. The black zones are made with Tamiya's X-1. After all, i give a coat of gloss clear (X-22 Tamiya) and now i'm rady to put the decals
  2. Let's paint! I used the MRP paint: they are mega but very very thin and several coats are needed to cover the preshading. (And i think there will be further coats in the future...) Next step: painting the gloss black radome and canopy. I also painted the weapons
  3. Seems interesting. I have a couple of big scale F1 kit by Tamiya in my stash and could be the time to put them on the work bench!
  4. Almost ready for the painting room! I was quite unhappy about the painted red zones on the fins so... i removed all and bought another decal sheet. I will use the decals for those red zones. And i have some spare decals in case something goes wrong ciao Ale
  5. Let's go with the cockpit: oob with some decals from the Fightertown data sheet for the instruments. Also from the Fightertown's sheet came the green zone on the windshield That's all for now, hope you like it.
  6. Nice progress so far, can't wait for the painting!
  7. The venerable Hasegawa's Cat! Always a nice kit, albeit not so easy to put together. Have a nice GB
  8. Wow! Can't wait to see the paint on! ciao Ale
  9. A very very small update. Start working on landing gears: coat of XF-85 rubber black as base, then i used the Tamiya's laquer paint LP-2 for the gloss white. First time using this kind of paint and i'm happy of it! For the natural metal part i used the chrome by Molotow. ciao Ale
  10. Yeah, absolutely impressive kit! And i read online that the Phantom is much better...
  11. Some updates: this kit is stunning, and the build goes quickly. So, i completed the rear part of the fuselage. Minimum amount of putty needed, the parts fit each others like a gloves. Next step: cockpit and the front part of the fuselage. ciao Ale
  12. brillant! This kit is mega, and the build is very very fast!
  13. So let's start! I start with some color, painting the fins with dark ghost grey (MRP paint) and then painting the red zones (X-7 Tamiya red). I have to fix some minor issues but i think could be ok. For the loadout i choose the FLIR pod, 1x Sidewinder, 1x GBU-31 and 1x GBU-12 Dry fit assembly for testing the parts and check dimensions. No surprises, it fits like a glove! that's all for now, hope you like it.
  14. I have the "A" version of the kit, i will follow your wip with a lot of interest ciao Ale
