Next step: Decals. I have used the wonderful set of decals from Fightertown, There are some little decals for the ejection seats! A fantastic set! I recommend it! ... The "Grim Reapers"... Terrific squadron! I hope next week you can see the end of this eternal post. Byyyyyyyyyyyyyyyeeeeeeeeee!

An almost perfect build! Is a really beauty. The paint and weathering are awesome! Is a pleasure to see a so well made model! Regards, TRUSKY1965.

Nice to see a Tonka with this level of accuracy! The weathered parts are awesome! Congratulations! We wait for news in this build! Regards, TRUSKY1965.

! Your first post can't be better! You start with a lightning (one of my prefered planes!), and i think is a wonderful model as a first step. Congratulations for this fantastic build! And, go on, we expect more of your works soon! Kind regards, TRUSKY1965.

If the model is 1/48, you can use a 1/72 figure as Tom (for more accuracy! ) A great GREAT build anyway! Congratulations for this post. Refards, TRUSKY1965.

This is a fantastic build, José! The little (very little in fact!) mistakes show that you are human! The building and scratch improvements are awesome. I think we must expect more great surprises in the paint stage. Congratulations for a so well made (and explained) model. Regards, TRUSKY1965.

Nice start with this lady! I hope you may show all the beauty of this wonderful plane. I'll see forward to follow your progress! kind regards, TRUSKY1965.

Nice one! This is a lovely plane and it needs a lovely work like yours. Congratulations, i think is one of the most beautiful builds in the forum at this scale! Regards, TRUSKY1965.

Weathering, part two: the belly. I continue with the weathering process... Now adding tons of brown and red pastels on the belly. I want to show a tomcat with a hard use I can imagine flying!! I have finish some details like exhaust nozzles, And now i will continue with the external stores, tanks, missiles, etc... Thanks so much for your support! and thanks for reading this post! See you next week !

I love this plane! I'll keep an eye on this fantastic project! Regards, TRUSKY1965.

Thanks a lot everyone! Your words encourage me to continue my modelling projects! Regards, TRUSKY1965.

lovely! Almost real! Is a master class on modelling! Kind regards, TRUSKY1965.

Nice cockpit! I'll see forward for this build. It is one of my favourite planes. The scale is 1/48? Regards, TRUSKY1965.

Thank you so much, for your kind words! Regards, TRUSKY1965.

This little Hawk is fantastic, and the red arrows scheme is the best one. I'm really amazed with the cockpit and seats! You have magic skills with these extremely little pieces. A perfect work in my modest opinion. I keep an eye on this build! I will see forward for your progress! Congratulations for this beatiful work! Regards, TRUSKY1965.

Thank you, Daz! You are very kind to me! Regards, TRUSKY1965.

A wonderful work indeed! The improvements on the original kit are amazing, and you show all your skills in this build. I love specially the fine detail in the landing gear and cockpit. Congratulations, is a pleasure to see a post like this one! Regards, TRUSKY1965.

The dirty oil trails on the wings are made with a soft, slighty wet, tissue and watercolor paints: this is an easy and safe technique!

I continue with the weathering process (hard weathering!), mainly with pastels and watercolor pencils: I know that the scheme is conmemorative and it must be clean, but i want to show a heavy used plane this time... The nose has been rebuild (and repaint!!) Another view, Details, Front view: Next week i will continue with the belly... (I hope!)

Good start... good finish, as always in your builds! I'll see forward for your progress. Regards. TRUSKY1965.

Top work indeed! I think is one of the most beautiful planes that a i ever seen. The paint is perfectly apllied, as usual in your builds, and the different effects are amazing. Congratulations! Regards. TRUSKY1965.

Very nice model indeed! The colors and effects are quite accurate for the scale! Congratulations for a so beautiful job! Regards. TRUSKY1965.

Paint: First coat. I will use a non preshading technique. The dirt spots will be applied later, with pigments, water colors and others (i'm still thinking !) More progress, next week. Byyyyyyyyyyyyeeeeeeee! Regards, TRUSKY1965.

What a fantastic project! I'll see forward for your progress! Regards. TRUSKY1965.

You have the hands of a clockmaker! Congratulations for a so well made plane! Regards. TRUSKY1965.
