Nice job on the stripes.

 

[Airframes]

I agree.

Nice work mate. That nasal finish looks hard to replicate. Here's a 1 to 1 scale effort.

Yes! Sometimes we need to compromise.

Looks great so far!

Decals had been applied and a final coat of clear gloss was applied.

The decals are very good and they conformed pretty well with a little of Micro SOL/SET solutions.

It's now time for weathering.


To be continued!

What colour have you used for the fabric skin?

 

[Crimea_River]

Very nice.

 

[ArmouredSprue]

What colour have you used for the fabric skin?

The main colour was then applied. The instructions called for Humbrol 103 Matt Cream. Since I only use acrylic paints and mainly Tamiya, I decided to mix it.

I came up with following mix ratio:

• 58% XF02
• 26% XF57
• 12% XF15
• 4% XF03

I was pretty happy with the end result.

THX. I like it.

Great work so far!

[ArmouredSprue]

Thanks Glen!

Cheers

Definitely the Festive Season isn't a good time of the year for scale modelling here Down Under. Warmer weather and friends invitations to go out is so tempting and the bench time is happily neglected.

However, I've managed to progress with this build and here are a couple of photos just to keep this build alive.

I have added the wings to the fuselage and also started some weathering

The bottom will be a little dirtier than the upper surface

Nicely done so far!
