Stuart Stuart, the exhaust cans are surely over-simplified, but I don't recall having read anything about them being incorrect. Any chances you might remember something more?

I thought that it was something to do that they are not fully open for the ground and are in 'reheat', something like that. I think it got mentioned in a ' Modern Era' discussion thread on Typhoon kits. Stuart Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cookenbacher Posted October 30, 2019 Share Posted October 30, 2019 I have to say the AMI uses a very nice shade of grey as far as greys go. That's looking great Giorgio. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks anyway From the reference pics I have, the shape of the exhausts at rest seems good, although oversimplified, as I said. It will require some inventive in the paint job .... 5 hours ago, Cookenbacher said: I have to say the AMI uses a very nice shade of grey as far as greys go. That's looking great Giorgio.

I read it and the exhaust issue is with the HASEGAWA kit, that only provides the in-flight version. Ciao 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not totally modelling unrelated though, 'cause I had the chance of visiting an aviation museum near Rimini. Quite some good things to see there, and I also sat into a MIG21 two seater cockpit Narrow front view, is it? That was actually just the front fuselage, not the entire airframe Anyway, a bit done during this WE: the U/C bays got some detail painting and a black tempera wash to make details pop out Then I started masking for the metallic parts and airbrushed a coat of Tamiya Gloss Aluminium (the rattle can stuff, decanted for airbrush use) This will have to cure thoroughly and properly before I do any more masking That's it for tonight, I hope everybody who attended to Telford had a great time All comments welcome, as usual Ciao 18 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not quite, I just select the masking media according to how easily and quickly I can cover the areas to be protected - and metallic pigment is so fine that I wanted a really seal-tight masking here Ciao 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Biggles87 Posted November 12, 2019 Share Posted November 12, 2019 I think the steely eyed look makes the first one more appropriate. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OK, that would actually be "Il Carabiniere Pilota" or "Poliziotto sopra le nuvole", but none of them sound really appealing in Italian, believe me guys Probably better something like "L'investigatore volante" 3 minutes ago, Terry1954 said: Love those U/C bays Giorgio, they really look the biz.
