Cheers Jaime Hello,Jaime (or should that be St.Jaime?! ) - Many thanks as always.The yellow will add a good splash of colour when the fin is painted.After all this time ( through no fault of the model itself) it's great to be able to get on with the detail painting.The radome is to be a mid-cream colour which I hope will add a little difference to her final look.Fingers-crossed!! All the very best,Paul. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looking so good I've dug mine out of the stash and put it on the 'Do next' pile.Hello,Silver Fox - Many thanks for your kind reply.I'm pleased you've got this kit in your stash and wish you every success with your build. I've got to what is one of my most enjoyable stages of a build.The detail painting and decalling is the time when I can start to see a model come to life and I look forward to Dagger's earliest completion.

DennisTheBear Posted August 10, 2016 Share Posted August 10, 2016 F-100, F-101, F-102, F-104, F-105, F-106, F-110 (later redesignated F-4). The F-107 was an experimental derivative of the F-100). Don't know about the F-103. The F-117 designation was used for the Nighthawk, which wasn't a fighter, to confuse the Soviets. ooh, bring it on! How many century series aircraft where they?

Great paint finish and clean build, as usual Cheers Jaime Hello and many thanks as usual,Jaime.I'm so happy to be on with the detail painting after what feels like ages seeing her in white primer.She has a few appointments with the airbrush remaining and my liking of this subject is growing with each stage.
