Looking real good. Got me thinking about buying one of those again and giving it a go. Hate to think of what I'll have to pay now.

Hey guys, where are the deadlines for the group builds listed. I'm thinking I might just do a cold war bird if there's time.

 

[Airframes]

The listings are in the GB section under the builds, I hope! I need to check what's after the BoB build.
The Cold War GB ends on August 31st.

Deadline for the cold war group build is Aug 30th. You build pretty fast Andy, you might make it.

I've got a 1/48 Kfir kit that I've been wanting to build as an F-21. Might just dust that off and give it a go.

I was thinking about that one myself but went with the Viggen instead, go for it!

 

[Vic Balshaw]

Plenty of time Andy old chap.

 

[Wayne Little]

Go for it!

I sprayed the second shade of silver (Picture 1) and then pealed of the masking (Picture 2) everything seemed to turn out all right which is always iffy with metallic colors. Next will be the anti-glare panel and the colored tail tips. And I really need to get started on the resin trolley.

Wow looks great Glenn!

 

[Airframes]

Excellent job Glenn, it looks superb mate !

 

[T Bolt]

Thanks Harrison, Terry. It's nice having the silver out of the way. I despise cleaning it out of the airbrush!

 

[Airframes]

Cleaning metallics out of an airbrush or paint brush is a bl**dy awful job, probably dreeamed up by a woman too !
Just when you think it's all gone, there's a miniscule glint of metallic pigment in the thinner, or still on the bristles. What a b*gg*er !!

 

[hawkeye2an]

Looking top notch. Hope nobody tries to swat that fat little fly.

 

[Wayne Little]

Looks great Glenn, peeling of masks is always the "I hope I got it right without problems time?"

It's always a relief when the masks come off and everthing is as it should be!

 

[Crimea_River]

Looks fabulous Glenn.
