Tied to the bed? Say no more..... 😂😂😂😂 Looking forward to an update 😄

Awesome work! A question: do you lube your moving parts, cylinders and rods and such?

Nicely painted, I don't think you can get finer borders with free hand only way is to mask. Really cool build!

Nice work, feel almost like cutting up another Tomcat....very inspiring build 🙂

This simply styrene pornography.......I'm drowning in a pool of drool!

Up to you old tricks again.... how about an update?

Fearsome hack'n slash modelling.....I'm watching the post through my fingers!

I will follow with great interest as I have the same kit, really good ran....observations of the kit and instruction sheet..

Mmmmm....hacking and slashing, love it! 😄

Yes yes yes please....... I have the Monogram and all aftermarket thers is and trust me, it is a daunting prospekt!

Beautiful work there, mate 😄 I think painting is the way to go...and I think you can protect the decals in place by covering them. Take a piece of plastic foil, you know the thing you wrap food with, cut out a square big enough for the number mask and cover the decals around. Then just go ahead and paint. 😄

Thanx Brett 😄

Thanx Gabor 😄 I was a bit surprised by the disparity in seeker heads...a bit confusing but gives a bit of freedom to us modellers 🙂

After a great deal of googling I found great diversion on the seeker heads so I took a bit of artistic licence and painted the inside of the R27T heads in sienna and the R73 heads in light blue grey.

OK, last update 😄 Getting the load out done... Here is what I´m going with ...2 R-73 and 6 R-27 in different models. Primed them in black and painted the fins in Alclad magnesium then I masked the fins. Next alaclad white primer adn the gloss white on top of that. Unmasked... Painted the noses of the radar missiles in sand yellow. The exhausts are done in ochra. Then a gloss coat before washes. Addded the IR seekers to the IR missiles. And glued in place and done! A coupleof snapshots of the finished model....going to do a proper photo shoot later 😄 C heers!
