arfa1983 Posted September 4, 2022 Share Posted September 4, 2022 I built this one for the Attack/Strike Group Build but only now just got around to taking photos. This was a challenging build but really a great kit and learning curve. If anyone else builds it I recommend not using the kit decals! Thanks for looking!

Vultures1 Posted September 4, 2022 Share Posted September 4, 2022 That looks fantastic! Great standard of finish - well done 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dnl42 Posted September 4, 2022 Share Posted September 4, 2022 Excellent work! The weathering looks very good. I have this in the stash and while I will use Fightertown or AOA decals on it, I've had good results with HB decals. What was wrong with them? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Actually, the decals themselves were excellent in terms of sticking down and being easy to use. But the artwork had many issues like the rescue arrow saying ESCUE, the blue bars under cockpit being blank (without pilot/copilot names) and my personal favourite: I did what I could to ESCUE them though! 1 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dnl42 Posted September 4, 2022 Share Posted September 4, 2022 Yoiks! I suppose that HB's excellent Uality Control! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jasper dog Posted September 5, 2022 Share Posted September 5, 2022 Brilliant result Arthur, remember it from the GB and the issues you had with it. You've really knocked it into shape and created a great model out of it. Excellant modelling. Darryl 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks Farmerboy! When I went to hobby shop many years ago to buy this Intruder, I picked up the Kinetic offering but the shop owner told me to go for the Hobbyboss! I am thankful he did! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With airbrush like normal keeping rest masked? I've done dipping full canopy but not spraying. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
