Latest off the bench. Having waited for a newer kit to come out in vain. I dove in and tackled Emhars simple, but accurate effort. I used a Falcon canopy-the kit one is usable, but Falcon’s is, as usual, better. A resin cockpit from True Details added the detail needed under the very clear canopy. I added a scratch nose-wheel bay and plumbing to all the gear and airbrake wells. Thinning the intake splitter plates helped a lot and I added the small intake on top of the nose. The dihedral is 8deg buy the way, a lot! The rest was trying to duplicate the natural metal finish using Alclad II over Tamiya gloss black. I never have any luck with Alclads own primers. Kit decals were used, because there are no aftermarket ones. Anyone following me, put the USAF titles an insignia on before the pods, then use another decal on the pods. The real aircraft was done that way, and there is no way the decals will settle around the compound curves-ask me how I know this! The kit decals are very thick, I would recommend replacing whatever you are able to. Anyway, it is not as good as I hoped, but looks good on the shelf. Final photo is a family portrait.
