Hello this is my 1st Topic on the forums.

I started this kit 4 years ago, Its was my comeback in modeling after a long period (15+years) of absence.

So had no tools and modeling materials and it looked like this:

On December 2010 decided to continue the kit. :whip:

I clean up the putty sanded the melted plastic from glue and fixed the airbrake & intake areas.I also added some details back from the ejection seat according to scale spot's build.

Then i sprayed a tire black on the model made the various corrections and masked some patch areas according to these photos:

This is looking sweet, I have a soft spot for DA2 and was trying to find some pics of the spin gantry on the back to do exactly the same to a DA2 I have in Black, which I think is a great colour for her. Will be watching with interest you have done a really nice rebuild

Hello Brit modellers,i have an update.

Last days i'm working on it in order to finally finish it.

I painted the internal areas of wings with gray and added the insulation plastics on the "glasses"

The exhaust will be painted in 4 different colors.

(some putty was needed here but i dont bother)

The two holes on fuselage painted in the correct colors

To complete the exhaust we need one more color to be sprayed.Then secure with sealer.At the end a wash will be apllied.

Next on the line is the anti spin chute, which is a time consuming area.Some slight repairs on ef's skin are also needed.

Γεια σου πατρίδα.Οχι προς το παρών θα μείνει έτσι.. δε νομίζω να αξίζει τα λεφτά για τη καρτέλλα και τα μεταφορικά αυτή η δουλειά.

Hello and thank you very much.No i will not place the rooster,i think it rises the build costs too much for such a messy build.My work don't deserve any further costs.

Here is a PDF with DA-2/ZH588 history log.

http://www.rafmuseum.org.uk/london/collect...PHOON%20DA2.pdf

1998 Flown in all black scheme at RAF Leuchars.

28 Jul 00 Began series of survey flights for which the aircraft’s skin was covered

in 490 pressure transducers, for which it was painted in an all-black

colour scheme which hid the sensors and pads.

One missing part and its done,im waiting a friend to post it to me.

Various mistakes on this build and some trouble with wash and varnish which i overcome by re applying the main color in thin layers.(over the varnish)
