To be honest, it's not much worse than when you do Patrouille de France or Diablo Rouges Fouga Maigster/Alpha Jets. Just use masking tape, take your time, and maybe make a mask too.

Can you do us all a favour and keep a list of what paints you use for the model? As you're the first here to brave it - and we all want to make one :P

i don't think that decals would be much easier, especially in 1/48....

I will try to do my best with mentioning colors :)

~ Revell 374 and 302 for the instruments :P

resin ejection seats Martin Baker MK10 form renaissance-flight ar a bit better than the kit supplied ones.... although I think I will close the canopy. that seems a bit easier with the flimsy, wobbly vaform canopy...

and it better represents and depicts the aircraft's nice shape! :)

the vacuform canopy is not perfect, but with some baths in future I think it looks presentable :

befor painting,

better do something about the stabs:

drilled holes and used a metalic rod

masking paintwork will be substantially easier that way as they are removableIMG_4459_1_1_zpsudwbfaeu.jpg

after some break, on the prowl again!

I had to repair some imperfections only visible in bright daylight, especially on the rudder/tail and back- joints...

her she is again primed with Tamiya rattle can black:

additionally I decided on her future dress, ... I will do a Spanish eagle, a Patrulla Aguila :)

for the red I chose Revell's 31,34 and 36

34 being the closest to my eye.

but, the black oprimer was quite strong, so I had quite some problems with getting a cover! and that with the aggressive red color....

so for a second layer I used the lighter 31 and mixed it with 34. much less thinner as well.

here already with the 2nd layer:

lets see how this looks in daylight!

I work form outside to inside, maybe that eases masking a bit!

thanks for comments,

regards, Werner

thanks Mr B.!

fine to hear that you got yours!

looking forward to seeing it :) :)

which version did you order? wonder how the decals are in all the other offerings! (Patrulla Aguila 25 anos and 30 anos special tail art, , Jordanian Aviojet, Chile and Honduras...) fancy doing a second one!!!!

I think also in day-light the red looks like it should, what do you think?

that is the 30 years anniversary jet from last autumn:
