I’m hoping to do an area search tomorrow - likely he’s at s bar somewhere knowing what the airforce is like at the weekend …if you ever want to pass your pilots on let me know as I like to build with them - happy to cover the postage costs ! 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tim Moff Posted October 22, 2022 Author Share Posted October 22, 2022 (edited) Pushing on with a week left, starting to get the finishing touches.... Got the pod built and painted - will do for Gov work! with decals on and sealed in, weathering done, time for the flat cote... used some burnt umber oils and mix, along with Tamiya panel line accenter and some dark dirt floreys wash...aim to get it as it was at the end of the time wearing the scheme using ref pics... Note the chipping away from the A2A refuelling hatch (or attempt of!) Some muck on the wings/invasion stripes and along the upper fuselage Muck and dirt underneath, especially around the metal areas... Some useful ref pics from YouTube Used Mr Color GX114 Flat First Undercarriage for a long long long long time.....antennas and pitots too Could not find the second crew member - that said I looked through my build pics and can only see 1 - so maybe I have one on the sprue and had to sort the other - so I have 1 now primed ready to paint...the glass for the Sniper pod was missing and my Micro Klear had solidified so am waiting on a new pot to try to create the glazed part before adding the pod... Canopy onto the rail Thats it for now....hope to get in the gallery early next week. Edited October 22, 2022 by Tim Moff 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
