Rémi

The final line before the end of the decals set I cuted in 2-3 parts the sides decals to catch up some differences

Work of the night Unfortunely, I damaged the front decals behind the nose

Some special scheme like this it have decals. But some don't have You need the instructions to verify if the scheme is in decals or not. For exemple this box Didn't have decals for the green scheme

I started to set the decals There are plenty decals. And some are very big (on the wings for exemple) You must take your time and you need some seances. I set one big decals with the microset. And when the decal is dry I use the microsol so that it fits the shapes perfectly The hasegawa decals react very well to the combination of microset and microsol

The last step before the decals I painted the rear section and varnished the aircraf. I setted the brown panel line too

thanks for yours answers I finished the paint scheme. The following step is to paint the engine section. After that I could apply the varnish and start to set the decals For information, on my previous F15, I used the H308/H307 of an old production. The color is very different from recent C308/C07 production of the same manufacturer The result of the old H308/H307 is bellow

Mask works And the underwing paint job finished

The front canopy is in place But they are a step between the fuselage and the canopy I used a plastic sprue to fill the step Now I can start the paint with the first layer of FS36375 gray I used the Mr Color C308

Coming soon : the paint

Hi all My Harrier is in stand by and I will wish to start a new build I choosed the hasegawa F-15 I have several hasegawa F-15 in my stach. Hasegawa has plenty limited box in his catalog. THanks to Japan who paint there F-15 with special scheme. I choosed the "aggressor minokasago" (photo from Hobby search) The hasegawa F-15 is a simple kit. The only problem is the exausts that it is a little complex to build I started with the cockpit. The details is fine and the cockpit need only a good paint and a dry brush. After the cockpit I painted the air intake. The air intake is very simple but I think with the scale, it is not a major flaw

The fuselage is closed I added the wing

In painted the dashbord in black and mask the dials I used punch holes of small diameters from a micro rivet punch set to mask the dials

Week end work I finished the cockpit The air intake are in place I filled the junction between fuselage and air intaket for a good rendition I painted the wheels bays too Don't forget to paint the outer side of wheels bay because this is the air intake We can try a test fit with the cockpit and wheels But like can see, the paint job on the air intake is not very visible, But you know it is here

I painted the cocpit I must finish the ejection seat and the flight stick I painted the air intake and make some correction on the wings. I filled the hole for the interior pylone to make 3mm behind And filled the "dog thooth" on the leading edge

Maybe the Kinetic is a step up from but your diorama is amaizing
