R159 Posted November 27, 2016 Share Posted November 27, 2016 (edited) They look fantastic, could you share how you did the finish on the inside of the nozzles? Hang on, looking again at the WIP looks like it was white with a wash Edited November 27, 2016 by R159 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The nozzles interior? - the finish paint wise is just Mr color 316 insignia white paint base colour with a dark brown enamel wash. The fan bases are alclad steel with some pale burnt metal highlights, and then a black wash. Hope that helps 👍🏿 PS They look quite 'clean' inside, but in real life they look suitably dirty and used. The flash used to get the pics has 'washed' the wash out 😂 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fishbone Posted November 29, 2016 Share Posted November 29, 2016 Nicely done, it will be more better if you put more weathering such as color fading and oil stain etc. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alxzinbox Posted November 29, 2016 Share Posted November 29, 2016 Great stuff Tony!! Love all the additional enhancements- especially the nose gear! The resin exhausts are spectacular as well. Worth all the time spent. You've raised the bar quite a bit from the 1st to the 3rd build... I can only imaging where #9 will be at! Cheers, Alex. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fewr9fkr9595 Posted November 29, 2016 Author Share Posted November 29, 2016 (edited) Cheers Alex! I can imagine they will stay good for a few more builds then start dipping off towards the end as I lose interest in them ha ha ha... PS hows yours coming along? Your WIP has gone quite lately...

Mark4700 Posted December 8, 2016 Share Posted December 8, 2016 Very nice. I know you have listed some faults, but really they are just minor niggles. Love it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
modelglue Posted December 8, 2016 Share Posted December 8, 2016 Very nice, I feel more and more compelled to sell the Hasegawa versions and buy a few HB kits. Question; does the LERX/glove panel line end abruptly at the seam? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fewr9fkr9595 Posted December 8, 2016 Author Share Posted December 8, 2016 Hi mate, I take it you mean as visible in the 4th picture? yeah regards this area the seams don't line up between the two 'pancake' halves. Not sure how it is on the real planes, need to do some research but cant find anything conclusive? Here is what I reckon below - I suppose on A models there would be a 'slot' in this area where the glove vane would be, so the panel lines would not necessarily line up or meet and wouldn't matter? On new builds and rebuilds they got rid of the glove vane (?) so a new build would have different panels from the start as no glove vane at all? And what was the process of elimination on rebuilds? New panels in this area? So Potential different lines? Or filled in and painted or plated and painted over? As so so many questions and unless working from a direct picture of a plane, I took the safe option and just rescribed the lines as hobbyboss provided them on the upper & lower halves after sorting the seam... Hope that all makes sense! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fewr9fkr9595 Posted February 1, 2017 Author Share Posted February 1, 2017 Update! A couple of finishing touches, much happier with it now... RBF tag added to winder nose cap. Exhausts sooted up inside as they were too clean and white for a jet that looks this used on the outside... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
