Creepy Pete Posted January 21, 2020 Share Posted January 21, 2020 Hello, Here's my just finished 1/72 Italeri SF-5B. I was looking through the stash after my previous build, a grey Harrier GR.7, and thought this would be a nice colourful change. The kit does offer a Spanish version out of the box, but the decals didn't look right to me, so I ordered an aftermarket sheet from Series Españolas. These were much better, and worked very well. I painted the model with Vallejo Metal Color and some Tamiya black. Overall, it was a fun build, with only the canopy actuators being a bit fiddly. Thanks for looking, I hope you like it. 37 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Andrés S. Posted January 22, 2020 Share Posted January 22, 2020 (edited) Hi Creepy Pete. You have reproduced the metallic paint very well, since in reality the Spanish airplanes carried a metallic paint and were not in NMF. I remember seeing them often flying over my city as a child, coming from the base of Morón de la Frontera. Very good job !!! Regards. Andrés S. Edited January 22, 2020 by Andrés S.
