gota Posted May 24, 2022 Share Posted May 24, 2022 Hello, Here are pics of my most recent build, the newish Finemolds F-4 with DXM decals and Aires seats. Painted with Mr.Color C124 and finished with VMS matte varnish. The kit is pleasant, although those insert panels are no fun to blend in. The DXM sheet was good too, about 95% accurate and a lot of work but I like the result, hope you do too. Here with his digital compadre I built a couple years ago, the Mitsubishi F-2A Bye! 39 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pantherhawk27263 Posted May 24, 2022 Share Posted May 24, 2022 Now that is what I call eye catching! You did a magnificent job on it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2lefthands Posted May 24, 2022 Share Posted May 24, 2022 Beautifully made! How did you achieved the fine lines on the canopy? Stripes of decal or masked and airbrushed? Its remarkably good especially in 1/72 scale. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Galligraphics Posted May 24, 2022 Share Posted May 24, 2022 That looks really good although my eyes might take a while to recover... that is quite a finish! I'm assuming it was decals rather than lots of masking...? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gota Posted May 25, 2022 Author Share Posted May 25, 2022 Thank you all, glad you like the build 🥰. 15 hours ago, 2lefthands said: How did you achieved the fine lines on the canopy? Stripes of decal or masked and airbrushed? Its remarkably good especially in 1/72 scale. The Finemolds kit has recessed panel lines around the glass, so this is just a creamy beige enamel wash, quick and easy job. 13 hours ago, Galligraphics said: That looks really good although my eyes might take a while to recover... that is quite a finish!

Yup, the DXM offer is divided in two sheets, one with the pixel camo and the other with the numerous stencils. 12 hours ago, ColinChipmunkfan said: An amazingly successful project. How long did it take you?🙂 Colin Oddly enough, this was one of my quickest builds ever as I am busy with a 2-y-o kid these days and still have multiple ongoing projects. I started back in december 2021, most decals are grouped together so the decaling took perhaps a good 20 hours including the glossing, sanding and repaints over the areas which silvered too badly.
