stevej60 Posted May 30, 2021 Author Share Posted May 30, 2021 Hi folk's,nowt jumped out at the model shop so we'll go with a Hasegawa Mirage F1 which I picked up a few weeks back on a whim. I remember building this kit way back in the eighties but despite the raised lines and age still a nice little kit. Ten o'clock start with some interuptions throughout the day for house painting and our second jabs at three this afternoon. Called it at 12:10 as the lofts gettin too hot now,hopefully next session tonight I can get the air frame painted leaving only the glossing and decal's etc for tomorrow as I only have a bit of time after work for that session. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stevej60 Posted May 30, 2021 Author Share Posted May 30, 2021 Afternoon folk's,just got a half hour in after our jabs so before the arm becomes useless slap or rather spray some paint on.One coat of grey to prime then mixed blue gray for the finishing coat,leaving to dry now for a couple of hours hope to get the underside silver gray on later as well as a couple of coat's of white on the four missiles. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's worth taking the time to get her finished properly, especially as it is looking that good so far. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
