Thanks John! ;thumbsup: Send figures over ... but I don't guarantee I'll send them back once painted Cheers Cookie, thanks! Happy New Year to you too! Thanks Sten, I remember you suggested that on my F-4J build too I had already decided to scratch build them, also because when looking for the AMs I was going to use for this build, they were out of stock where I normally buy them. But I have a couple of ideas, so I'll work on them first and see what I get. Thanks again, anyway Later for an update (with lots of pics) Ciao

Ditto on everything Cookie says! Ciao

Thanks everybody for the positive feedback! I must say I'm pretty happy with the level of detail of the MONO tub; that made things easier as far as painting is concerned. Today I started painting the control sticks, and prior to the primer coat I hadn't realized the amount of details MONOGRAM has put into those two tiny bits of plastic: all triggers and buttons are there, so again it's just going to be a matter of picking them out with some paint. :lol: Tomorrow for some more pictures - I love being on holidays Ciao

That ain't fair! I'm totally envious Decals look great, by the way. Are you going to do any desaturation or leaving them as freshly painted? Ciao

David, I had a similar problem when doing my F-4J (actually it was the monthly band limit), have switched to Flickr since. Definitely not going back! Those F-4s are looking great! Ciao

Thanks Stix! More detail painting in the tub, now it's almost completed but for the washes: All the details have been painted using Lifecolor's, except for the brass used on some piping on the back of the rear cockpit - that was Italeri Brass (acrylic, of course) Top parts of the seats have been painted too; in progress: and completed, again but for the washes: top parts (sorry, slightly out of focus) All those parts have been Future coated, so that today I can apply some dark washes and seal everything with a matt coat; I still need to paint the control sticks and the sidewalls, though. Ciao

Great year, Steve! My favorite to date is still the first P40 in your post, I just love it! Ciao

Great quality output, that says it all! Ciao

Nice job Jörgen (also on the 1:1 ) Hope to see you back soon on BM Ciao

All I have to say is Impressive! Ciao

:D Cheers Simon, thanks! Today I did some more detail painting on the tub and the seats, and tonight there's going to be more; I'd like to complete the interiors by tomorrow, then I'm gonna have to find something suitable to replace the tail fin pitot and probe, before I can button up the two fuselage halves. Tomorrow for some pics. Ciao

Sorry for the codes misplacement, John. As Ced says, it's a bit of a pain, but hopefully someone will jump out with a replacement. On other hand, decals do look very good, and so does the cotton bud tailwheel You should patent that! Ciao

Tornado GR.4 (Revell 1/48) -New Kit-
giemme replied to Aviano's topic in Work in Progress - Aircraft
Nice tub, all that PEs really set it off! Bravo! Ciao -
HI everybody, quick update as promised; I started with some light drybrush on the tub and IPs to pick up details, using Lifecolor Light Gull Grey: Then I completed the pilot's IP: What I did was some detail painting with Lifecolor Matt white and red, then a Future coat, a dark acrylic wash, a matt coat (Lifecolor) and finally a few drops of Tamiya Gloss Clear for the gauges. Slowly making my way through painting the tub ... Comments welcome, as usual Ciao

Hi everybody; I hope you all had a great Christmas! After some very interesting posts about seats, pins and other "real" things (thanks everybody for that, I'll never get tired of saying so ), here we go with a bit of a progress report about the model. I airbrushed the interior color, FS36231, using the corresponding Lifecolor pot, plus a bit of Matt White for scale effect. That was used as a base coat; I then sprayed over it the same mix with the addition of a smear of Light Blue, as all the F4 interiors I've seen in pictures have that kind of nuance under a direct light. Both mixes were thinned using Future Then I airbrushed some Matt Black (again, Lifecolor thinned with Future) on the seats parts and canopy sills and then started the detail painting job by brush; I've only painted the Matt Black areas so far: Still lots to do here. In between painting stages, I started working on the boarding ladder: first off, I printed and taped the template to a wood block: then put some nails in it to help bending the steel rods (paper clips, exactly the right diameter for the job): Then with a cutting disc and my Dremel, I sawed the short end at 45° and attached the corresponding "hooks" with CA. I'll let them harden before refining them. More tomorrow, hopefully. Ciao

Weathered?? Who said that? Where? When? :D Well Gene, I should really do just a little bit of weathering on Sandy Bay-Bee, bit I'll keep it to a minimum, I promise ... Great info on the boarding ladder, thanks! I'll be back soon-ish with an update Ciao
-
Three weeks!! For me that would be light speed!! Like the effect of the mixed masking, I do that myself sometimes. Ciao

Thanks Steve! You know, I might be able to sneak in some modelling this afternoon, in between food preparations for tomorrow's big lunch ... But anyway I'll get back to it next Monday, so not that long Ciao
-
Has that ever happened??? Because from what you describe, safe ejection with these seats seems hardly possible ... Sorry guys, no update for today, I forgot I had already planned to go out last night Merry Christmas everybody! Ciao
-
I agree with Stew, very nicely done. Merry Christmas to you and everybody Ciao
