Ian Thanks Ian Hiding the stash will do you no good, I have Internet Shopping! Transfer on to 'match' the pictures from Seattle, kind of: Luckily no silvering (a ha ha ha) so I think I can blacken the vents, glue on the drone and we're done. Actually that photo emphasises the incorrect position of the refuelling hold but hey, good enough for the ceiling! Nothing I can do about this: …except cheat and not photograph that dusty window. 14 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CedB Posted September 18, 2019 Author Share Posted September 18, 2019 Thanks Johnny and Keith I've put two drops of NATO black in lots of water and blobbed it on the vents now and I've also glued on the drone: I'll do the same on the bottom vents (titter) in the morning and then RFI it. I'll post a link to that but here's a teaser: 18 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

72modeler Posted September 18, 2019 Share Posted September 18, 2019 Ced, Just now saw this thread- wow, what an awesome YF-12! Best one I have seen so far and the paintwork is especially realistic. Have this kit, but have never been inspired to take it down and start it...until now! Re displaying it- perhaps a base with two angled rods that extend into the tailpipes in such a way as to simulate a steep climb might be a good way to display all that wonderful paintwork? Might even put a Skunk Works logo on the base?Just a suggestion. Beautiful result, especially with all the work you put in on it. Mike 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ced - that is an absolutely stunning build. The paint finish looks exquisite, and your chosen scheme shows off the lines of the aircraft to perfection.

Biggles87 Posted September 19, 2019 Share Posted September 19, 2019 I can only agree with the above comments. It looks like the AK paste works really well over another ‘ metal ‘ finish, I think I will have to invest in some if I can get them sent by post without them being declared ’ hazardous substances ‘ John 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now in the RFI here. Next one? I'm building to reduce the stash at the moment and I seem to be choosing big boxes to make it look as though it's getting smaller, faster. I've started a 'holder' for the next one, Italeri's Sunderland Mk III over here. Come on over! As always thanks for your help, support and companionship during this build - it's been great! 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
