Sky Keg Posted May 11, 2020 Share Posted May 11, 2020 Good day, Here is my latest project, the Hasegawa FB-111A. Here is a brief overview of the kit............ 1. Main colors used - Mission Models USAF dark green ( FS34079 ), SAC bomber tan ( FS34159 ), SAC bomber green ( FS34201 ), white, Model Master dark gull gray ( cockpit ), Tamiya semi-gloss black ( X-18 ) radome nose cone. 2. Added Master pitot tube 3. Used kit supplied decals 4. Detailed with pencils, Vallejo washes, and paint 5. Added aircrew from Hasegawa Pilot / Ground Crew set ( X72-7 ) 6. Exhaust nozzles painted in AK Extreme Jet Exhaust ( AK 486 ), Steel ( AK 476 ), and Tamiya Gun Metal ( X-10 ) and dry brushed with copper and gold colors. 7. Slats & flaps come in the extended position but I opted to have them in the retracted position. The kit is very well detailed. The landing gears bays particularly stand out for their detail. Unfortunately, the windscreen only comes in the closed position. Because I bought the kit at a model show, the decals had become dated and required a coat of Tamiya Clear to ensure that they would not come apart after soaking in water. I hope you enjoy this colorful swing winger. THANK YOU in advance!!!!!!! Mike 26 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mark Joyce Posted May 12, 2020 Share Posted May 12, 2020 Nicely done, Mike, and that paintwork looks great. I'm a little surprised that, with all the extra work you put into it, you took a chance on those old Hasegawa decals, even with the clear coat on them! Cheers, Mark 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
F-32 Posted May 13, 2020 Share Posted May 13, 2020 What a beauty, very cool. I do miss the 111's here in the UK. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
