Hi all,

The GBs are really starting to come thick & fast - must get a move on!

I'm in with this one to be finished in Adversary scheme. 

 

Good luck with your builds!
Cheers,

Dermot

You are welcome Dermot
That'd be an Italeri kit?

I'll look forward to your build.


Spot on Robert.

Should be great Dermot, can't have too many adversary/aggressor schemes.

Great to see new builds taking off Dermot, hope that 'pit ok?

 

Yep, I think that cleans up ok for OOB!

Next thing I know, the fuselage is together!

Thanks everyone and better get a move on to be finished in time.

 

Coat of primer...maybe I'll go the Top Gun route instead?!

Nah..Sundowners it is. First pass with Grey which is Mr Hobby 311.

Thanks everyone. So masked up the underside in preparation for spraying the u/c bays.

When I looked at the fuselage sides, I wasn't happy how the seams were still showing. So out with the wet & dry to take care of them.

Will repeat with black primer and then Light grey in those areas (both sides). 

One step forward, two steps back! 

 

More soon.

Cheers,

Dermot

So I tested positive for the Lurgy last weekend (second time). But at least that gave me some time to crack on with this one.

 

Masked up in preparation for Light Ghost Grey

Then masked again for the Grey Blue. All paints were Mr Hobby thinned 50/50 with their levelling thinner.

While I'm really happy with how the paints performed, that Grey Blue is just way too dark and makes this East Coast Aggressor look more like something from Alaska. I went with the recommended FS colours but good to know for the future!

Will gloss up later in prep for the decals. 
Thanks for looking, happy modelling.

 

Cheers,

Dermot
