Dermo245 Posted October 9, 2022 Author Share Posted October 9, 2022 Thanks everyone and pushing on with the decals. They are nicely printed, if a little thick and not very sticky. A lot of Microsol needed. The decal instructions I found a bit confusing too.

Dermo245 Posted October 11, 2022 Author Share Posted October 11, 2022 Thanks everyone and yes, SNAP @jackroadkill! Sitting on the gear, just awaiting a final matt coat and the canopies. I've tried to add some panel lines with pencil along the raised detail.

modelling minion Posted October 11, 2022 Share Posted October 11, 2022 She really does look very good indeed Dermot and the pencil on the panel lines works very well as you can see them but they're not too stark. 🇺🇦 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dermo245 Posted October 16, 2022 Author Share Posted October 16, 2022 Thanks everyone and with the last bits added, she's done. Italeri_172_F-5F_Aggressor_11 by Dermot Moriarty, on Flickr Italeri_172_F-5F_Aggressor_8 by Dermot Moriarty, on Flickr Apart from the paint colour (too dark) and some dodgy decal placements, I'm really happy with it. Will post some more pics in the Gallery, thanks to @Robert Stuart and @modelling minion for leading this GB which has been great. 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
