Col. Posted August 22, 2020 Share Posted August 22, 2020 Please keep us updated with your progress on this one Werner as it's looking great and serving as inspiration for many of us I'm sure. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
exdraken Posted August 26, 2020 Author Share Posted August 26, 2020 Thanks everybody! Of course I will update this thread Colors: Homemade mix of Revell 17, 88, red light grey... and maybe a bit more like the preserved planes, i.e. a bit too redish in tone? ... Will decal it in due course... and then let's see! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
exdraken Posted August 29, 2020 Author Share Posted August 29, 2020 decals (~14?) are on, it turned out to be XM533 anybody knows if the SKY PIRATES motto was on in theatre already? hard to tell for me from the few photos out there... the decals looks fantastic, as does the artwork representation (and the original artwork of course!) to me they should be a little bit bigger.... I have a hard time to adjust it relative to all the panels and canopy at the same time... never mind, reslut looks great! no clear coat on top as of yet, but tat is soon to come, and some weathering! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
exdraken Posted August 31, 2020 Author Share Posted August 31, 2020 not sure if anyone actually sees the progress here, but maybe someone will eventually lots of dirt, to be removed later: load out: 1 or 2? early or late in the war? did Buccs dive bomb those on bridges when self lasing? not familiar with old laser bombing techniques... after mayor dirt removal: and with my sons' pirates ye you maties eh! cheers! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looking very nice with the decals and weathering applied. Yes the "Sky Pirates" and Jolly Rogers flags were applied in theatre, each one slightly different. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
