Popular Post HartDeco Posted February 14, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted February 14, 2022 (edited) Hi all. Here is my latest finished kit; Kinetic's EA-6B. Several aftermarket parts were used: Aires cockpit, Quickboost seats, Wolfpack wing fold set and Eduard exterior detail set. The decals I used are from CAM decals as I didn't like the ones in the kit. The kit is one of the earlier product from Kinetic and it shows. Although the fit is quite good, the surface details lack some refinement. This made me decide to add some rivets and missing panel lines. The sometimes faint panel lines were retraced with a scriber too. The canopies were tinted by dipping them in a mix of Tamiya clear yellow and smoke, thinned with MrHobby color thinner. The model was painted with MrHobby acrylic paints over Alclad black primer. Weathering was done with washes made from Abteilung 502 oilpaint and white spirit. Thanks for watching. René.

Maginot Posted February 14, 2022 Share Posted February 14, 2022 Very high standard of modelling achieved. I do like the folded-wing pose. Of many highlights: I love the gold tint you've achieved with the canopies; the level of detailing is impressive; the overall greys are finely blended. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

binbrook87 Posted February 14, 2022 Share Posted February 14, 2022 (edited) That's a fabulous build. I've seen this kit many times and pondered whether to buy or not? Now I've seen your outstanding results of how it can turn out I'm even more tempted. Edited February 14, 2022 by binbrook87 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
arfa1983 Posted February 14, 2022 Share Posted February 14, 2022 Incredible skill to build something like that! I've heard only bad things about most kinetic kits. I know you've used a truckload of AM and also done a lot of work to get it like that... but still... I now want one. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

doxasg Posted February 14, 2022 Share Posted February 14, 2022 Very nice construction and high level painting on your model. You have done excellent weathering in the basic gray, but I think it could be need more effort on the stencils and on the wheels comparing the overall weathering painting from the final model. keep up your high level modelling...
