murfv Posted November 20, 2012 Share Posted November 20, 2012 (edited) Finished this last week and thought I'd share the results, hope you don't mind. The kit is the recent Airfix release OOB finished with Humbrol gull grey and white with a wash of Flory/promodeler weathering wash(great stuff) to highlight the engraved detail I used the kit decals which for the most part worked well, the only issue were that the intake warning markings would not fit the intakes(so just used the 'Danger' center bit and used a matching red for the intake lip). Also the decals on the tops of the wings did not want to snuggle down over the vortex generators and required a little persuasion and touching up when dried. I have weathered the kit with some oil wash and streaking but the effect has been lost due to the bleaching effect of the camera flash. I still have to hang a couple of dumb bombs from the pylons, TER's with a pair of 250 pounders on each I think should look ok. Thanks for looking Edited November 27, 2012 by murfv 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

F-32 Posted November 20, 2012 Share Posted November 20, 2012 That's a cracking Scooter, looks to build up into a really nice model Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maxidad Posted November 20, 2012 Share Posted November 20, 2012 That's a lovely little build. My son started this kit about a year ago, but it ended up on his shelf of doom. I live in hope that his computer will blow up and he'll get back to a proper hobby! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Enzo the Magnificent Posted November 20, 2012 Share Posted November 20, 2012 That's a beauty! I have one in progress at the moment, although my GB builds take priority so it is going quite slowly. But it's a lot of fun to build. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ancient mariner Posted November 21, 2012 Share Posted November 21, 2012 Nice build of what is rapidly becoming a favorite kit of mine. I like the wash effect,a technique I have failed miserably in effecting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
murfv Posted November 21, 2012 Author Share Posted November 21, 2012 Thank you for the positive comments, folks, they are very much appricated. The kit is quite good and straight forward to build, all the better for a hamfisted plastic hacker like me, and as with many of the recent Airfix releases, reasonably priced.
