Main gear legs Main Landing gear legs also needed a lot of work to make them resemble the real ones! I use the two metal ones for the main legs and the plastic one as i have to glue it on the resin and i need to put a pin inside to strengthen this point. Below you can see all the details added, some of them from Eduard exterior set! Wheel wells I placed the rest of the resin and i improved the rear section as it was wrong and to add some but not a lot detail inside!! Also the decals on the wheel well doors are custom -

Good evening lads, Time to resurrect this topic once again!! It will be a long post with sections, please excuse me for that, hope all the work and photoes to make you forget it!! Closing the fuselage Before that I had to install the M-61A Vulcan gun and add some detail on the rear area of the gun. I also painted all the details not accessible after closing the fuselage. And i finally i closed the fuselage. Not an easy thing to do as i had to align everything, from the cockpit tub to the rear fuselage details to the intake and all the zacto det -

Good evening guys, My last update on this beautifull bird. After finishing all the stenciling i sprayed a highly thinned future on the model and i started weathering her with wash first. After that i played with oils, raw unthinned, in order to capture some wear of the aluminium. Dont know if i really succeded!! Last i sprayed a light, again highly thinned, hand of xtracrylics satin varnish to seal everything. None of the future or xtraclylics seems to alter the finish of the metallics!! I had no luck to my tests with alclad varnish or the ak's gauzy agent!! Hope you like it!!

Thank you very much. That was my major concern too. When i have wet tranfers i prefer themto everything else. Now i had dry transfers for the codes and letters and the very nice decals from revell. I trimmed as mush as i could the carrier film and i placed them with the help of the tamiya decal adhesive the softener type.!! To my surprise there was no silvering at all, of course i had made all the preparation to the model to achieve the best finish i could. I have now sprayed a very light film of highly diluted future on the model which seems to give a very nice seen and eliminate an

Good morning guys, Time to show some progress.... After checking everything for imperfections i polished thoroughly the kit plastic. I decided to use Ak xtreme meta for thiw build and i also decided not to prime the model and to spray the color on the polished plastic. I think that, even if the photoes really dont show the real thing, the outcome is really nice. Here i worked with the different shading of the metal. As Duncan a.k.a. ''Sabrejet'' has pointed out many times, this shading is due to the different way of threatin
