Dansk Posted November 3, 2019 Author Share Posted November 3, 2019 A lot of decaling is in progress 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rabbit Leader Posted November 3, 2019 Share Posted November 3, 2019 My last GB catch-up for that day and WOW!!!.. thats looking really lovely Paul! The metallic weathering effect has turned out well and like most things metallic, probably hard to catch properly in photographs. Cheers..

Dansk Posted November 6, 2019 Author Share Posted November 6, 2019 (edited) All decalled up finally and a flory wash has been brushed on note to self: i need to get a new clean cutting mat 😊 Edited November 6, 2019 by Dansk 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dansk Posted November 7, 2019 Author Share Posted November 7, 2019 And now with some oils too. i’ve definately over-weathered this thing from the start but i’ll take it through to its conclusion now. i learnt a lot on this (about how not to do things mostly 🙃) that i’ll take onto the mustang GB in december 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rabbit Leader Posted November 9, 2019 Share Posted November 9, 2019 You may think it's overdone Paul, however I think it looks lovely. Give it a few weeks and your eyes will settle and accept a great finish. Once you've unmasked the canopy and applied the gear and weapons it will be a standout. Cheers..

Dansk Posted November 11, 2019 Author Share Posted November 11, 2019 (edited) Thanks for your kind words and support Dave. Thats really good of you.👍🙏 the cockpits unmasked now and i’m about to install the gear. i added a few brake lines and things to spice them up a touch. and weathered them in accordance with the rest of the aircraft. nearly there, on the final bits now still think i went too far weathering but now i know for next time. 👍 Edited November 11, 2019 by Dansk 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rabbit Leader Posted November 12, 2019 Share Posted November 12, 2019 You know, you could always overspray a thinned coat of silver across the airframe to tone down what you think is overdone weathering, best to mask over the decals over of course! Then again, just let it be and move on. I love it and I’m sure it will grow on you too. Cheers.. Dave 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dansk Posted November 12, 2019 Author Share Posted November 12, 2019 (edited) Thanks Dave. Not a bad idea but I’m kinda Itching to start on something new now as you may have suspected so I’ll live with the finish and say it just got seriously weathered and abused in its 14 years of service Edited November 12, 2019 by Dansk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dansk Posted November 12, 2019 Author Share Posted November 12, 2019 Just need to add a couple of aerials, decal the ‘to-be-added’ payload, A couple of touch-ups and i think we’re there. Hurrah! 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Col. Posted November 12, 2019 Share Posted November 12, 2019 It does look worn and tired but also 'right' if that makes sense? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

modelling minion Posted November 16, 2019 Share Posted November 16, 2019 Another truly excellent result Paul. I really like the heavily weathered and well used look you have achieved and the details you have added are fantastic as usual. Very well done mate. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dansk Posted November 16, 2019 Author Share Posted November 16, 2019 (edited) Thanks a lot Craig.👍 Cheers I’m happy about the end result now too - its kinda’ grown on me even though it’s so heavily done. I just see all the errors with my own builds though. Not heard from serge recently but let us both hope he is out there semi-satisfied with the end product too 👍😊 Edited November 16, 2019 by Dansk 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Worms Posted November 18, 2019 Share Posted November 18, 2019 (edited) I think that looks stunning...and the weathering...to my eye...is heavy yes, but beautifully done. Nice one. I had a backup to my Jag if I finished it in time, a CF104 Starfighter....after looking at this I'm glad I haven't got the time 😆 Edited November 18, 2019 by Worms addition 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
