neil5208 Posted November 8, 2023 Author Share Posted November 8, 2023 Decals have been completed and its had a coat of Florys dark Dirt wash, always enjoy this as I think its one of the most transformational stages as you near completion. Moving onto the undercarriage next. 11 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

neil5208 Posted November 12, 2023 Author Share Posted November 12, 2023 Tail planes and most of the undercarriage in place and did some oil stains on the underside. Pitot tube and the last of the undercarriage has been painted, just needs the Flory wash and then it just the flat coat to go. 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HPoirot Posted November 12, 2023 Share Posted November 12, 2023 May I ask what was your conclusion about the air intakes’ lack of ducting inside the fuselage? I have one of these in the stash and have been wondering how visible this would actually be… In the meanwhile, all the best bringing this one to completion - looking quite good so far!

sandros Posted November 14, 2023 Share Posted November 14, 2023 If I see this one on a contest table, the first thing in mind is that something is wrong with the gray color on the camo. But this gives a totally different perspective. Did you spray freehand or did you use masks/ blue tack? I like the feathered effect on spraying. I am not aware if this camouflage had suffered much weathering, so the colors started to blend under the South East Asian sun and rain. My observation goes for the underside as well, since this is a rather big beast with short distance from the ground. Keep going. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
