Â Cheers, Â Roger Thanks Roger, There are only a few and that is a huge relief but the thought of the sides of the Phantom is haunting me. I should get the oomph up to do it today but you never know.

AliGauld Posted March 14 Author Share Posted March 14 I placed a few stencils about the place. More than would have been on the real thing but they just break things up and add a bit of interest.     That lot will be hit with softener. (Tamiya Decals ) and I'll make a start on the nozzles, pylons and drop tanks.  Thanks for looking,  Cheers, Alistair 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was hoping to get the pylons, tanks and Sidewinders started today but the pylons all have ejection pin marks that need sorting. So, I'm awaiting Mr. Surfacer drying.  Cheers, Alistair 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AliGauld Posted March 16 Author Share Posted March 16 The Drop Tanks and Pylons were painted and stickered. Â Â Â Â Â Â The cold nozzles got a coat of Medium Sea Grey. Â Â And the hot nozzles were given a coat of gloss black in prep for metallics in a couple of days when it's gassed off properly. Â Â I'll get some white on the undercarriage doors and air brake actuator later and can get them decalled after that. Â The Sidewinders have been given a lick of Light Aircraft Grey. Tomorrow I'll mask them off, paint the seeker head, yellow and brown bands. Â Thanks for looking, Â Cheers, Alistair 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AliGauld Posted March 17 Author Share Posted March 17 Not much got done today. Life stuff got in the way, as it does. Â The Harrier was given a protective clear coat in preparation for some oil work tomorrow. Â I finished painting the nose wheel doors and got the decals on those and the main gear doors. Â Â I also did a little work on the Sidewinders. Â Â Thanks for looking, Â Cheers, Alistair 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AliGauld Posted March 18 Author Share Posted March 18 Sidewinders finished. Â Â After some oil filter work with White, Paynes Grey, Blue to give a bit of variation and light blue grey oil wash on the Control Surfaces I fitted the Doors, Air Brake, Drop Tanks and Sidewinders. I also gave the undercarriage a light wash with Seraphim Sepia and Nuln Oil. Some Molotov Chrome on the lights which will get some clear colours when the final Satin coat is on. I moulded a tiny bit of Green stuff for the red nose wheel light and painted that. It's also waiting a clear red. Â Â Â Â Still to do. Finish the Hot Nozzles A final satin coat. Unmask the canopy and fit the PE windscreen wiper. Â Not much left now. Â Thanks for looking, Â Cheers, Alistair 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
