How is the build going with this? I've only just come across the thread now but I have to say, it is the most impressive build I've ever seen, absolutely incredible!

Incredible

I recently built this B-2 so if you have any questions/tips then I'd be happy to offer any help or info. https://www.britmodeller.com/forums/index.php?/topic/235036846-b-2-spirit-modelcollect-172/&tab=comments#comment-3010181

Thanks for all the nice comments! Back in 2009 at Abingdon airfield(Which is a short runway) in Oxfordshire I saw this exact C-17(ZZ174) take off directly over head, he pulled up directly over my head at the end of the runway!

Insane detail! wow

Unbelievable... Looks incredible Nice lighting as well

One of my favourite aircraft and a great looking model, really pleased with it. Brush painted with Humbrol enamels. Slight weathering using a sharp pencil and eraser. Tried some interesting photography to try and make it look at its best. Let me know what you think. Any feedback would be appreciated. Does anyone know of a 1/144 C-130J Hercules kit? Basically the one the RAF has in service now. This and the herc would make a nice pair.

Thanks Mike for the info and advice. What would happen if I just applied a matt coat will it fix the shininess of the decals? As it's a finished model and I'm really pleased with it I don't want to try anything I've never done before and end up damaging it beyond repair. If I was in the process of building it still then I'd be more open to trying new things. Which matt coat would you recommend? I think I've said this before on the forum but your MiG-31 is stunning! Great looking model of a formidable aircraft. There was a really interesting article on the Foxhound in AirForces Monthly last month. Worth a read.

Thanks Steve, yes that is the case, it's only when the light catches the model, like in the photos do the decals really shine and look bad(unrealistic) Is there a particular Matt coat that you'd recommend? I'd just like to brush on a coat or if it's a spray can then just spray it on. Ethan.

Hi there, I recently built a B-2 Stealth bomber and I'm overall very pleased with it however there is one issue that I'd like to fix with the decals. When the decals catch the light or if you look closely they stand out and shine like crazy! I think this is silvering. I would ideally like to have the decals and the airframe look like they are one and for the decals to have a flat matt finish on them so they look real, not look like shiny stickers that have just been stuck onto a model. This photo shows the issue, it's just from certain angles and when the light catches it the decals look horrible. If you look at the 3rd photo from above the model, the decals look great, so that's what I'd like the decals to look like all over, from all angles in whatever light. Is there a matt varnish/clear coat that I can just spray or brush onto the model and it will fix this problem or improve it? If so which one would you recommend? Thanks

That MiG-31 is unbelievable! It looks fantastic. There's a really interesting article about the Foxhounds in the May edition of AirForces Monthly. I didn't realise that for quite an old aircraft they're so powerful(Both in terms of Air power and performance) and capable. Awesome aircraft (Even if they are the enemy!)

Right, I think I've fixed the issue regarding photos, hopefully you can see them now! Let me know Thanks

Hi guys, I don't know why but the photos on my B-2 spirit RFI thread don't want to show, what am I doing wrong? It's the dreaded photo bucket screen... I copied the DIRECT link from photo bucket into the Insert other media box. Let me know of any suggestions Cheers

Thanks for all the great comments guys! Really appreciate it, this is also my first model post on here. Probably the best model I've ever made
