Not sure if this is the correct area for this question (sorry mods, if so), having just finished my F-16 Barak, I was wondering if anyone could tell me if these aircraft were heavily weathered or not???? The reference pics I have are not great so any help is as always, much appreciated!!!!! regards Steve

Sorry Mike, been a long night shift, bedtime for me now I think!! LOL

Oh, another question, as I don't have an airbrush, is the Alclad product ok to apply by brush???????? Regards Steve

Thanks guys, I think I will give the Alclad a go. Steve

Now that I cannot find ANYWHERE that retails this product, can anybody else tell me what is just as good , if not better than Klear?????????

If its any more help, I have just painted mine Revell's Anthracite (9), it is a tad darker than I thought though!! Steve

I agree with Zipper, I had a bot of bother with Neomega last year, I bought some goodies, they did'nt show, I then cancelled my order, and they then took the money anyway!!!

Pavla do a Bucc cockpit set too, which is'nt all that bad either!

In "direct" response to your "initial" query, I am in the process of building the F3 variant! On advice from Spike etc on here, I have been using Humbrol 147 which is a very light grey and which looks (to my eyes anyway!!) OK, once you weather the panels, undercarriage legs/struts eetc etc, they look good mate!!

Thanks mate, will have a think about it!!

Great stuff Troffa, many thanks, will be doing a Granby F3 as it happens, still not sure what tanks the Italeri kit has, looks like the smaller tanks, so I think I will have to dig out a couple of 2250's from the spares box!!! Regards Steve

Guys Many thanks for the replies/responses!! Jacksdad64, no, I have'nt signed up for the GB yet, not sure if my skills are up to scratch compared to the others that I have seen on here!!

Just bought this kit, had a quick look at the instructions and like the Hobbyboss kit, the colour schemes am not sure about!!! In particular, landing gears, undercarriage panels - white??? Should they be light grey as per the GR4?? The fuel tanks - are they supposed to be the "Hindenburger types" or the smaller ones usually found on the F3 variant???? And finally, the nose cone?????? Is it me, or is it a bit too pointy??? Answers on a post card............. Regards Steve

Thanks Worm

Thanks guys!!

It has no doubt been asked a million times here already, but am looking to re-vamp an old Tornado GR1 of mine into an Op Granby variant! What I am after is the Humbrol equivalents for the following: Wheels Undercarriage struts Wheel bays Can anyone recomend whether it is advisable to undercoat the model with the grey/green camo scheme prior to painting with Desert Sand? Have read on various articles that this is advisable, but will it not make the model a slightly darker than necessary shade?? Many thanks in advance! Steve
