Dermo245 Posted July 11, 2022 Posted July 11, 2022 (edited) 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 Edited October 16, 2022 by Dermo245 Completed! 3
Robert Stuart Posted July 11, 2022 Posted July 11, 2022 You are welcome Dermot That'd be an Italeri kit? I'll look forward to your build. 1
modelling minion Posted July 11, 2022 Posted July 11, 2022 Should be great Dermot, can't have too many adversary/aggressor schemes. 🇺🇦 1

Dermo245 Posted August 30, 2022 Author Posted August 30, 2022 So many awesome builds on here have given me the kick to get started., so here's the sprues and lovely decals. Will get started tonight on the cockpit. Italeri_172_F-5F_Box by Dermot Moriarty, on Flickr Thanks for the inspiration! Cheers, Dermot 6
Wings unlevel Posted August 30, 2022 Posted August 30, 2022 Great choice. There could almost be a separate Sundowners gallery for this GB, there’s a few of us drawn to VFC-111! 2
modelling minion Posted August 30, 2022 Posted August 30, 2022 Great to you being able to get your build underway Dermot, glad to hear that you have been enjoying the GB. 🇺🇦 1
Robert Stuart Posted August 30, 2022 Posted August 30, 2022 Great to see new builds taking off Dermot, hope that 'pit ok? 1

Yep, I think that cleans up ok for OOB! Italeri_172_F-5F_Wip_1 by Dermot Moriarty, on Flickr Next thing I know, the fuselage is together! Italeri_172_F-5F_Wip_2 by Dermot Moriarty, on Flickr Cheers, Dermot 6
Robert Stuart Posted September 15, 2022 Posted September 15, 2022 That pit painted up well Dermot, it looks very busy. 1
modelling minion Posted September 15, 2022 Posted September 15, 2022 Very nice work Dermot, the cockpit has turned out really well. 🇺🇦 1
81-er Posted September 15, 2022 Posted September 15, 2022 That cockpit's very nice, Dermot, far better than my paint job was! James 1
Dermo245 Posted October 1, 2022 Author Posted October 1, 2022 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?! Italeri_172_F-5F_Wip_3 by Dermot Moriarty, on Flickr Nah..Sundowners it is. First pass with Grey which is Mr Hobby 311. Italeri_172_F-5F_Wip_4 by Dermot Moriarty, on Flickr More soon. Cheers, Dermot 8

modelling minion Posted October 1, 2022 Posted October 1, 2022 Nice work Dermot, that first grey looks very good. 🇺🇦 1
Dermo245 Posted October 3, 2022 Author Posted October 3, 2022 Thanks everyone. So masked up the underside in preparation for spraying the u/c bays. Italeri_172_F-5F_Wip_5 by Dermot Moriarty, on Flickr 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. Italeri_172_F-5F_Wip_6 by Dermot Moriarty, on Flickr Will repeat with black primer and then Light grey in those areas (both sides). One step forward, two steps back! More soon. Cheers, Dermot 6
modelling minion Posted October 3, 2022 Posted October 3, 2022 You might go backwards to be able to go forwards Dermot but the end result will be worth it. 🇺🇦 1
81-er Posted October 3, 2022 Posted October 3, 2022 I know exactly what you mean, Dermot, I've had similar issues getting rid of the seams as well James 1
Robert Stuart Posted October 3, 2022 Posted October 3, 2022 It will be worth it Dermot, getting rid of those seams. Good work! 1
Dermo245 Posted October 7, 2022 Author Posted October 7, 2022 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 Italeri_172_F-5F_Wip_7 by Dermot Moriarty, on Flickr Italeri_172_F-5F_Wip_8 by Dermot Moriarty, on Flickr Then masked again for the Grey Blue. All paints were Mr Hobby thinned 50/50 with their levelling thinner. Italeri_172_F-5F_Wip_9 by Dermot Moriarty, on Flickr 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! Italeri_172_F-5F_Wip_10 by Dermot Moriarty, on Flickr Will gloss up later in prep for the decals. Thanks for looking, happy modelling. Cheers, Dermot 11
modelling minion Posted October 7, 2022 Posted October 7, 2022 Despite the colours not being exactly as advertised she does look very good Dermot, the scheme suits her very well. 🇺🇦 1
Robert Stuart Posted October 7, 2022 Posted October 7, 2022 Too dark, or not, that looks good Dermot. 1
