kolja Posted September 15, 2010 Posted September 15, 2010 The serial number on the ventral strakes is a great touch!
Jabba Posted September 16, 2010 Author Posted September 16, 2010 Thanks for the comments. I put the Serial No on the ventral fins as they would normally have been on the lower fin, so as this was taken up with the main design I thought that the lower fins were the next best place especially as the numbers were in yellow. A little progress has been made with the painting of the weaponry and the wheelie things.
TaiidanTomcat Posted September 17, 2010 Posted September 17, 2010 The serial number on the ventral strakes is a great touch! Agreed! Way to improvise!
Jabba Posted September 28, 2010 Author Posted September 28, 2010 Not much has been done to this model as I have been away eating sausages where Blackadder didn't quite make it to. Anyhow I have managed to get the undercarriage and doors fitted and have started to do some of the finer bits of painting. I have also started to paint the weaponry and the bang seats. Whilst I was decalling the model I found some 111 Sqn lightning flash markings that fitted the fuel tank rather well. Hopefully not much more now before she is completed.
robw_uk Posted September 29, 2010 Posted September 29, 2010 looking good.... did the sausage you ate contain a picture of the "Fallen Madonna with the Big Boobies" by Van Klomp??? like the little detail of the flashes on the drop tanks...... makes it more than just an afterthought (to me anyway)......
TaiidanTomcat Posted October 1, 2010 Posted October 1, 2010 What colors did you use exactly? It just looks great, I can't wait to see it finished!!
Jabba Posted October 1, 2010 Author Posted October 1, 2010 What colors did you use exactly? For the top colour it is Humbrol Barley Grey, Underneath Humbrol Light Aircraft Grey, the tail is Revell 303 with gloss varnish, with some of the yellow (mainly to the top rear of each fin) being the closest that I could get to the decal that was used.
Jabba Posted October 3, 2010 Author Posted October 3, 2010 Well it is all finished now and here are some photos. I will put some of these photos in the completed section. Thnks for looking and any comments good or bad are welcome.
Alan P Posted October 3, 2010 Posted October 3, 2010 One of the best matches of markings to airframe I've ever seen, really nice work Jabs!
Col. Posted October 4, 2010 Posted October 4, 2010 Cracking stuff Jabba. Another one that has the air of authenticity about it.
TaiidanTomcat Posted October 7, 2010 Posted October 7, 2010 Im in love! Superb Job! And thank you for answering the color question earlier. I like the Tornado like antennas on the tail fin too -Great touch!
Daniel Posted October 20, 2010 Posted October 20, 2010 One of my favourite schemes, I nearly used it on a TSR2, I would never have thought to use it on this aircraft! Looks good. Dan
