Wings unlevel Posted October 30, 2022 Share Posted October 30, 2022 That really is looking good. It’ll be some nice variation from all the grey jets in the gallery! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
arfa1983 Posted October 31, 2022 Share Posted October 31, 2022 You have my vote already. That looks so awesome! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ralph Posted November 5, 2022 Author Share Posted November 5, 2022 (edited) Grinding my way to the finish...decalling complete, no mean feat in itself. Have added the ECM pod that JASDF aggressors seem to carry, and now it's just the nose wheel, varnish....and the Aires exhausts...somewhat fiddly!

Ralph Posted November 13, 2022 Author Share Posted November 13, 2022 (edited) And...done in the nick of time! Aires exhausts an indispensable addition (particularly pleased with the off-white ceramic effect achieved) and the Finemolds AAM5 acquisition round unmasked and added on. Done-yay! Really pleased with this, but next project will be something rather easier to paint! Thanks to the GB hosts!

Corsairfoxfouruncle Posted November 13, 2022 Share Posted November 13, 2022 Excellent work on the Eagle. Oh yes the JASDF keep everything pretty spotless. Ive studied photo’s of most if their aircraft for awhile now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
