I've noticed that I missed a key item in the decalling phase so will have to go back and address that. I'll also attemppt to re-jig the centre pylon. On 6/16/2019 at 4:31 AM, Luiz said: Just awesome!

There are a few other colourful a/c-model Voodoos that I'm tempted by but I think after my third Valom I need a break! 19 hours ago, Nikolay Polyakov said: Stunning work, Martin! 👍 Looks like you’re pushed to the limits that Valom kit, congratulations! 🎉 Thanks Nikolay. I think I possibly did. It is a simple kit, with many issues, but it builds up okay if you are patient. I'm not so there are a few imperfections! As I said in an earlier post, I have realised that I made one decalling omission! I will correct it as well as adjusting the centreline pylon, which is a bit low at present. Fortunately it isn't glued on! Martin Edited June 18, 2019 by RidgeRunner 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have around 8 bottles of the Model Master International Red and 'Red-Orange left so be prepared for more afterglow in the future. Not just yet, though.

mdauben Posted July 18, 2019 Share Posted July 18, 2019 I generally like operational paint schemes, but I agree something like this makes a great subject for a break from camo and bare metal. Really nice job, too! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RidgeRunner Posted July 18, 2019 Author Share Posted July 18, 2019 Thank you everyone, I appreciate your comments. Since posting I have realised some omissions and errors. I left off the red warning stripes around the engine inlets, for example. I have more recently realised that I set the red break line on the rear fuselage at the wrong place too. As you will all appreciate, fixing that mistake at this stage, and particularly on a dayglo finish, would be a difficult undertaking. I have therefore chosen to just accept it. I also need to adjust the angle of the centreline pylon . Fortunately it isnt cemented so I can easily remedy that :). Having said all that I am still very pleased with the build. It represents another unusual aircraft for my display cabinet :). Martin 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Terry1954 Posted July 19, 2019 Share Posted July 19, 2019 Don't know how I missed this one Martin. Brilliant job, quite literally! Really like the way you have applied the dayglo and NMF. A challenging scheme I reckon. Terry 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, dayglo can be tricky, especially if you to do any repair work, but in this case she worked out fine. In reality she isn't so vibrant. The camera sensor and even post-processing couldn't handle it well. If you want nice dayglo the Model Master range is excellent. I have yet tried the Sovereign offering, though. i have now posted new images with the inlet red lining in place :).

Meatbox8 Posted July 21, 2019 Share Posted July 21, 2019 That is certainly eye-catching! Looks great. Dayglo colours are not the easiest to apply in my opinion but your paint finish looks spot-on. I really like these experimental and test subjects. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
