modelling minion Posted July 25, 2022 Share Posted July 25, 2022 Very quick and nice work Steve, she's gone together very well by the looks of things. I shall have a look at my Iranian F-5 references to see what would make a likely load. 🇺🇦 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

modelling minion Posted July 25, 2022 Share Posted July 25, 2022 Looking very nice Steve. After checking my references the load out you are going with is correct, I can't find any pictures of the extra tanks being used other than the delivery ferry flight. 🇺🇦 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stevej60 Posted July 25, 2022 Author Share Posted July 25, 2022 That's great Craig I'll get them at the weekend from him didn't expect to get anything more done(now I'm sharing the bench) but two coats of dark green mix were applied. Followed by two brown.still a lot of detail painting to do but happy with the basic airframe,gloss coat should blend the edge's in as usual.As you may have guessed I stuck with the brush for the camo and the colours are mixed for Luke's soon to arrive "Persian Cat" which in 1/48 scale I don't envy his having to paint! 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stevej60 Posted July 30, 2022 Author Share Posted July 30, 2022 Hi Folk's,got the wheel wells and equipment painted and glossed.Leaving it for a few days as the front wheel and horseshoe shaped piece is seperate to the leg so just but joints together which is a recipe for disaster so hope the super glue does the trick! 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
