  7. 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
  8. 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

  12. 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!!

I had no luck to my tests with alclad varnish or the ak's gauzy agent!! Hope you like it!!
  13. You must be kidding us!!! Awesome work Thomas!!! John
  14. 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
  15. Really nice work there!!!! John
  16. 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
