Cheers JJ Thanks JJ, Mask design took a bit time but the output from plotter/cutter was really good even for tiny details. But I am not sure if it works in 1:72 scale.

Thanks, If you are asking the masking film company this is Orafoil vinyl mask. The design and cut of masking templates are all mine.

Serkan Sen Posted December 13, 2021 Author Share Posted December 13, 2021 I had to take a long break because of the bleeding/sweating resin issue (I suffered a lot from that much during my Flanker builds). I casted new big mouth intakes and painted the part: The intake was placed and fitted the lower fuselage by sanding lightly: The sanded area was painted to agressor blue: Next step is to paint the lower nose area and landing gear wells, and apply gloss clear coat.

Serkan Sen Posted December 13, 2021 Author Share Posted December 13, 2021 The paint work has been completed. The wheel wells and the nose underside were masked and painted. Also all parts were coated with gloss clear coat: Next step is to print the decals and apply... Serkan 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Serkan Sen Posted September 24, 2022 Author Share Posted September 24, 2022 After a very looong break back to this project!.. The decal artwork has been printed using Alps MD-5500 and the decals have been precut with a cutter/plotter: Next step is to apply the decals.

Serkan Sen Posted October 14, 2022 Author Share Posted October 14, 2022 After four hours long decal work here is the result: I realized that I have forgotten to add "red stars" to the decal artwork. I have add them to my another decal artwork which is going in parallel: The decals will be sealed with a second clear coat after placing these stars.

Serkan Sen Posted April 24, 2023 Author Share Posted April 24, 2023 After a long pause, finally I had a bit time to work on this beautiful aircraft. The decals were sealed with gloss cote and then dull cote. The pylons and landing gear details have been asssembled: Next step is to paint and load the armaments and finish this project.
