Today's update;

Did some of the decals for the wing walks and flaps as well as the kill marks.

the yellow declas for the id band didn't fit, as the decals are for the Tamiya kit, so I painted it first acrylic white then tamiya Yellow.

Just have to paint the canopy now, then landing gear and some small details and this guy is done.

thanks guys.

Today's update;

Painted and attached the propeller, and the engine exhausts.

Also painted the wheel wells and added a quick wash to bring out the excellent detail there.

working on the canopy, its drying as i have to do a little, let it dry then do a little more.

The canopy is finished, so i attached it, and did the rest of the decals.

Now it has to dry for a day, before i add the landing gear and underwing tanks, and the small weathering i plan.

Final update;

Gun trails and a light exhaust trails are added. I also added some detail to the wheel bay and coated the blue stripe in flat finish.

Next, the landing gear is attached. i had already painted and decaled these parts to save time and effort.

The wheel doors need slight touchups.

next, the drop tanks are constructed and hand painted as i didn't feel like spraying, and lastly an antenna of streched sprue is made , attached and painted. This will be straightened a bit after it dries on the kit, but essentially the kit is comple.

Finnished shots next time!
