  1. The main cockpit colour would be FS36231 Dark Gull Gray: https://ak-interactive.com/product/dark-gull-grey-fs-36231-air/ As for your next question - it varied, which specific camouflage scheme are you going to depict? F-104J's carred several different finishes. Cheers, Andre
  2. Colours look great from here. Cheers, Andre
  3. Fit so far has been exemplary apart from the forward nose intake whcih gave me some major gappage - most likely selfinflicted. I needed a fair bit of putty: Which cleaned up allright - here she is as of now! Cheers, Andre
  4. Sanding, sanding, sanding... rinse, repeat... but getting there!: Cheers, Andre
  5. The wing roots received some much needed filler: Cheers, Andre
  6. Some progress! - I painted the homemade tub and Green Stuff instrument panel Dark Gull Gray, followed by some panel line wash to bring out the details - I also put together and painted a spare SH seat and added a control stick from the spares cabinet: Not 100 %accurate, but at least it's better than the cavernous void and very basic seat of the stock kit! Subcomponents shot: Cheers, Andre
  7. Nice clean build! She really looks purposefull. Cheers, Andre
  8. These are different rails than the Italian BL-22's. Cheers, Andre
  9. These were never formally certified for flight. AFAIK these were only used for airshow loadouts. Cheers, Andre
  10. Did you manage to salvage the canopy? Cheers, Andre
  11. Do the colour callouts in the SH instructions help? Cheers, Andre
  12. Most likely you've seen this already, but just to be on the safe side: http://www.clubhyper.com/reference/f111indetailjr_9.htm Cheers, Andre
  13. It does not, but the Special Hobby reboxings do. Cheers, Andre
  14. The B/C boxings of Fujimi's lovely Skyhawks come with Bullpups instead of Zuni pods. Cheers, Andre
  15. If you have the Academy G-2 kit, you could backdate it to a D-5 - the extended span Dora variant. After all, Special Hobby did. Academy's G-1 could be used for a short span Dora - again, like SH. Cheers, Andre
  16. You could leave off the gun pods and add dive brakes. AFAIK the D-3 sometimes flew without the brakes, at least on the Eastern front, but I'm not sure they did in a desert environment. Cheers, Andre
  17. Nice. Those decals really make her come alive! Cheers, Andre
  18. Awesome! I always liked Modeldecals. Cheers, Andre
  19. FLASH!, AHAAAAA!! Well, it was inevitable, really... In my defence, I already had the airbrush out, I had no idea when the weather would be nice again the next few weekends, my compressor purred away real horrorshow... So, I started another one. This isn't madness, this is Britmodeller! Since the kit is well known (well, it should be, after nigh fifty years!) I didn't bother with sprue shots. Here are the already joined (seperate recce nose to common F-/RF-84F main fuselage part) sprayed (DGG pit, Burnt Iron exhaust area and NATO Black nose compartiment) fuselage with the box top to give an indication of the boxing: Nice decals, although I am not going to use them (there's a clue in the thread title to which colours she'll wear!), and some Gunze Mr. Masking thrown onto the clear parts: Aluminium intake areas and Chromate Green gear bays plus other bits: Also, since we do have some standards here, the very basic Italeri stock office simply would not do. So, out with the Evergreen for the basic tub and a quick & dirty Green Stuff clone of the Sword RF-84F dashboard for at least somewhat in there to view through the to be closed canopy: This since received some Dark Gull Gray as well - pics to follow! Cheers, Andre
  20. Today was well enough for attempt #2 with the Vallejo Air Aluminium: Cheers, Andre
  21. Like said in my other threads, I managed to get a first layer of Aluminium down - here's the recce E: Metal paint is quite unforgiving - some more sorting out to do on the join between the resin photo tank and the port wing tip, it seems. Cheers, Andre
