kpc7676 Posted October 26, 2014 Share Posted October 26, 2014 It's done, finally. A very frustrating build that took over a year with it being put aside on a number of occasions. The fit is ok but you need to be careful in some areas, most notably the nose section and the aft fuselage section. The worst thing was the damn slat rails, which were broken off on numerous occasions, very poor design there Hasegawa. Back to a prop next I reckon, and an easy one at that hopefully. Kit: Hasegawa 1/48 TA-4JDecals: Fightertown DecalsSeats: True DetailsPaints: Gunze (of course!)Weathering: Heavily weathered with pastels of various shades along with preshading of panel lines and paint fading. These aircraft were dirty in service in the pics I had so I reckon the weathering was therefore warranted. Thanks for looking. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
85sqn Posted October 26, 2014 Share Posted October 26, 2014 Great stuff! I love Hasegawa Skyhawks and yours looks really good. Ive made the Classic Airframes TA-4J and that was a fair bit trickier than the Has! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Two questions (from a tank guy :-) Where do you get Gunze paints here in the UK Do you have any photo of the pre-shading phase? I think it is an "plane technic" taht we could apply to tanks....

Thanks in advance Cheers Nacho Nacho, Thanks for the feedback. The pre-shading I am talking about is spraying black over the panel lines before putting the main colours down. This means that you get, particularly with lighter colours, the feeling of darkness over the pnale lines as you would on the real thing. As for Gunze paints, I'm in Oz, so no idea on where in the UK you could source them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
