After sanding sprue goo on fuselage joins, and rescribing lost panel lines, I've glued wings on their place - not a great fit, but it is as it is... Again a lot of sprue goo on joins and around wheel bay. Waiting for it to cure well, and then a lot of sanding... meh.... Cheers, S.

I have finally moved a bit with this one. I've polished car body with Dremel tool and polishing add-on, in order to be as smooth as it can before primer and painting. Then it came primer - Mr. Surfacer 1000 - it will be sanded/polished in few days. And while I am waiting for primer to cure, and some more free time to start the "procedure" of sanding/polishing, I've painted canvas (tarpaulin?) roof - I chose Gunze H401, lightened a bit where are folds.... Cheers, S.

Same Revell 1/144 kit I will build in this GB, but with different markings (Marine) - finished in 2016. Cheers, Srđan

Good evening mates, I will join this GB with two microscale Starfighters - single and two-seater. Here is the two-seater... Cheers, Srđan

Revell 1/144 E-2C Hawkeye - weathering finished with MIG pigments (engine exhausts) - fuselage windows were painted Tire Black and then overcoated with Kristal Klear to achieve effect of "glass" - antenna wires were made from Uschi van der Rosten Superfine rigging wire Cheers, S.

...and the finish line has just been crossed! - weathering finished with MIG pigments (engine exhausts) - fuselage windows were painted Tire Black and then overcoated with Kristal Klear to achieve effect of "glass" - antenna wires were made from Uschi van der Rosten Superfine rigging wire Cheers, Srđan

I've done wash during weekend, next step is final semigloss coat of varnish, and then remains only painting of small details and final assembly. Hopefully it will be finished during next week... Cheers, S.

Decals are applied, now remain some details to be painted, wash to be done, and semigloss final coat of varnish. Hopefully it will be done within deadline... Cheers, S.

I've painted cockpit in black because anything won't be seen anyway, and glued fuselage halves. I'll leave sprue goo on fuselage joins to cure well, and then a lot of sanding is to be done... Cheers, S.

Thanks George, I've hand painted with brush just black leading edges of wings and tails and nose/antiglare area. Demarcation lines between grey and white area were masked with Blutac over white areas, and then airbrush painted grey areas. Cheers. Srđan

During last few days I've painted leading edges of wings and tail areas (de-icing rubber?) as well as antiglare surface and radome. As these areas are really congested, I didn't have oportunity to mask them, so everything is brush painted freehand - I was using Lifecolor Matt Black. Then a few layers of Gauzy were applied, so now is everything put away to cure well before decaling... Cheers, S.

New year, new challenges... Yesterday I've finally took the step forward and painted upper part of camouflage - Light Gull Grey. In few days, when paint fully dries, I will paint leading edges of wings and tail surfaces into black, as well as antiglare surface, radome and radar "plate" outer edge. Cheers, and Happy New Year!

Good evening mates, as I've said in chat topic for this GB, I've started this kit for the 2024 "Baby Boomers" GB, but during summer months got stuck with heat and loss of mojo, so with permission of GB admins I apply it here again, with these photos to show how far did I go so far... Cheers, Srđan

Good evening mates, Like I've said in chat topic for this GB, I've started this kit years ago, but lost interest in it, so I've found this GB's theme appropriate for it to be finished. Current state of kit is as following: engines and wings are assembled, as well as "cockpit" area Regarding livery, it would be what-if one - I plan to do it in fictive colors of local coffe maker company (Doncafe). I still don't know how exactly will look like, but for sure it won't be airliner plain white Cheers, Srđan

UM 1/72 Artillery tank D-38 - painted with Gunze acrylics - weathering done with artistic oils and MIG pigments - headlights made from Kristal Klear Cheers, S.

Finally finished - within old, non-extended deadline for this GB In the meantime I've applied chipping (sponge and brush painting technique), added headlights (made from Kristal Klear) and weathered further with MIG pigments... It was pretty much fun build for me - although no decals are applied, I've tried, and hopefully succesfully, to add some variety to single-tone camo with different weathering techniques. Cheers, S.

Revell 1/144 Eurofighter EF2000 - painted with Gunze acrylics - weathering done with artistic oils and MIG pigments Cheers, S.

Finished! #10/2024 Cheers, S.

In the past few days I've tried new technique for me - dot filtering with artistic oils but on matt and pre-damped surface, so I achieved a unevenly distributed various shades... Cheers, S.

I've applied wash - artistic oils Raw Umbra. Idea is now to give it flat varnish coat next, and then to do color modulation on various areas with artistic oils, and only after that to spray final semigloss coat, or not, depending on what effect will artistic oils leave on surface... Cheers, S.

Hi Pat, Sorry for late reply - I was on trip to Bratislava last weekend (Plastikova Zima scale model contest), so I've completely missed this post. I've started some work around cockpit on this one, but, unfortunately, this area of kit is so complicated and tightly made, that I have to rethink how to manage it. I've glued "cockpit cage" walls to the fuselage sides, as it is nearly impossible to assemble the whole cage in one solid piece that WILL fit to the fuselage. It will require a lot of sanding and trying to fit inside. It made me so desperate that I didn't even want to photograph current work... Kit itself looks nice with details, but it's a typical short run that I don't like very much. It will be finished in some of following KUTAs, as I will probably need few KUTAs to finish unfinished first KUTA! Cheers, Srđan

Yesterday I've applied wash - artistic oils mix of few shades. Now waiting for few days for oils to cure, in order to spray final semigloss coat of varnish... Cheers, S.

Paint is on - Mr. Color C135 (Russian Tank Green Early) - lightened a bit with white color for middle parts of panels and for highlighting... Cheers, S.

For the past 3 days I've been occupied with decaling - a lot of small stensils are given on decal sheet, and they definitely improve the final look. Cheers, S.
