_alfisti_ Posted January 13, 2019 Author Posted January 13, 2019 (edited) Hi guys. I was a bit lazy around New Year, but last week I did some progress. First to show are the new build RWR on the fin, it tppk a few hours but I´m glad @Scimitar gave me the hint. Next step was to mask the dark blue with UHU Patafix and spray the brighter Mr.Hobby C374, unfortunately it don´t match the color for the U-125 right. I tried a layer of Tamiya x-23 clear blue and it work, looks much better than before. Today I finished the decals as well. They were from really good quality and worked real fine. The missing numbers to do the 27 came from a Hasegawa T-2 Blue Impulse. Regards Daniel Edited January 13, 2019 by _alfisti_ 10
Shin Posted January 13, 2019 Posted January 13, 2019 I got that same paint set for an eggplane F-2 I did as a test for upcoming JASDF projects. That's a great tip about the Tamiya clear blue if I want to modulate the colors a little bit, thanks! Your plane looking great, looking forward to the finish! 1
Jackman Posted January 14, 2019 Posted January 14, 2019 Wow, that Tamiya X-23 made a LOT of difference. 😲 1
_alfisti_ Posted January 14, 2019 Author Posted January 14, 2019 Thanks guys. @Shin I think the set woud match the colors of the F-2 very well, same with the Phantom or the Black Hawks. If you look at some pictures only the U-125A are darker. I have two F-2s in my stash too, there should be no such problems with the painting. Regards Daniel
_alfisti_ Posted January 20, 2019 Author Posted January 20, 2019 This weekend I sprayed the flat finish and removed the masks. Details like antennas were hand painted. Regards Daniel 8
Romeo Alpha Yankee Posted January 21, 2019 Posted January 21, 2019 Looks good Daniel. I can't wait to get one of these. 1
_alfisti_ Posted February 13, 2019 Author Posted February 13, 2019 (edited) Three weeks after my last post the U-125A is finally finished. Last few steps were the landing gear, FOD-cover, wipers and some antennas. Sorry for the dust on the pics, must be from last weekends exhibition were the jet saw daylight for the first time😁. Hope you like it. Regards Daniel Edited February 24, 2019 by _alfisti_ 16
Robin Posted February 13, 2019 Posted February 13, 2019 Hi Daniel. That is one superb piece of modeling, it realy has turned out great. The underwing pods have come out very well. I hope that my model looks the part when I get round to it. Robin. 1
Robert Posted February 13, 2019 Posted February 13, 2019 That is really lovely. The decals on mine are off register so not sure about getting a replacement. Robert 1
Corsairfoxfouruncle Posted February 14, 2019 Posted February 14, 2019 Very impressive i really do like the colorscheme ! 1
_alfisti_ Posted February 14, 2019 Author Posted February 14, 2019 Thank you guys. I´m not completely satisfied with the build, so I´m glad you like it anyway. 19 hours ago, Robin said: Hi Daniel. I hope that my model looks the part when I get round to it. Robin. I´m sure it will, only pay some attention to the wing/fuselage conection, the rest of the kit isn´t really a problem. 18 hours ago, Robert said: That is really lovely.

There are contact options on their site. Regards Daniel
stevehnz Posted February 23, 2019 Posted February 23, 2019 I hadn't read this thread before, maybe because I didn't know what a U-125A is. I''m pleased I have been and read it now, a very nice model in a great scheme, I have already the F-2 & RF & F-4 kits to build one day, some of the Mr Hobby paint sounds like a good idea. Steve. 1
_alfisti_ Posted February 24, 2019 Author Posted February 24, 2019 Hi Steve. The color set from Mr.Hobby I used should be the perfect choice for the F-2 and F-4. They look a bit brighter on photos so the blue should match very well. I got also two F-2s in my stash, will look good next to the U-125A someday. Daniel
Red Dot Posted February 24, 2019 Posted February 24, 2019 MRP also do a set of paint for the JASDF blues and they look to be very accurate in colour. it was an interesting article Daniel, so thanks for the tips. I have the North Wing Model Craft resin kit of the U-125 to make but may get the Sword one too for a bit of cross-kitting. andy 1
_alfisti_ Posted February 24, 2019 Author Posted February 24, 2019 Thanks for watching and posting everybody, here is the roll out of my little Japanese SAR Plane. 1
me109k Posted October 23, 2019 Posted October 23, 2019 Hi _alfisti_! My colleague purchased the same kit. Can you give the exact dimensions of the ECM pods under the wing in centimeters? Or maybe there is a drawing? It is difficult to determine the exact dimensions by the photo.

I don´t think there are any drawings available. I used only pics to build the pods, they are about 2,4cm long, 4mm wide and 2mm thick. 1
