Thank you to all !

Nice Dirk !, please post the pics here ! I would like to see your stuff

The seats I bought a pair from OzMods in Australia, and I did a silicon mold of then, so I can make how many seats I need, If you want I can send some seats to you, just PM me.

About the colors codes, they are from Gunze Sangyo Colors. Those codes on black square are to enamel colors (mr color) and those codes in white square are to acrylics colors (aqueous hobby). I love these acrylics Gunze Sangyo Paints. You can bought from Lyckymodel on china. You can dowload a conversion chart at my blog in downloads page

Best regards and thanks to all !

I hope to have time to work on this little project this weekend..

Thanks Dirk, I´m using Gunze H334 to undersides and Tamiya XF53 to upper. These are just aproximated colors, I don´t have the colors indicated on mannual, here in Brazil is almost a miracle to find Gunze Sangyo Paints to buy on hobbyshops. I´m ordering mine paint botles on Luckymodel...
Lets to some updates
Masking on wing roots


Bombs load Looks good, I have to apply some decals on bombs..







Just it by now.

thank you evan, terry, and all !

I working some more on ordinance, now, I need to include "remove before flight" strips, but only when I finish the model, here some pics, some weathering was made too











just this by now !
 
So lets to some update:

With a little PE saw, I cut the canopy to make it opened.





I did a litle base, the 553th Squadron from Marines, was on Barhein bases in Desert Storm, so I did some sand on the base, to make the sand I use Tamiya XF-52













To the grass, I use Woodland Scenics Fine Turf










The final looking was this:




To make some more realistic the diorama, I get one cart, from another Dragon Set













And I´ll use some Preiser figures too..





Almost done !
