  1. Still in-flight and some mighty awesome have glass glares:
  2. What a beauty! Now i see it, and the B&W look.... Fantabulous!
  3. Note how the rudders are moved on some pics as well πŸ˜‰
  4. 10x gents! I appreciate the kind words. 😜 Aigore, yep, nothing better than the Raptor and the Have Glass, and the heavy tear and wear, and the clean stealth sillhouettes. Btw the wheels are down cause they are drying :))) I just glued the wheels to the pylons and weathered them. They only need some flat spots underneath and the glue to dry well till tomorrow, and i'll take the "parked"-mode pics.
  5. Hi all! Here is my recently finished model - the infamous F-23A Black Widow II, as she could have look like if entering into serial production. πŸ™‚ The weathering also features quite a significant amount of "what if", but for the conversion i used all the unclassified pics and diagrams on the www.yf-23.net website. I tried to make this kit as correct as possible while sticking to the mentioned dimensions, angles, etc. - all the changes from the prototype version YF-23. As a base kit - it is the HobbyBoss's 1/48 kit and here is the WIP topic. (PS: the pics on the first pages are invisible... don'
  6. Too clean to my taste, but i like your style, and collection combo! πŸ‘πŸ˜œ
  7. The oil paints are on, it`s pretty much drying time now, and only the landing gear needs to be weathered. A quick sneak peak: I dont know - maybe it`s weathered too much, maybe there are no Raptors weathered that much, but i like it. My 2nd model with so heavier tear and wear weathering. It`s kinda abstract... surreal, but i like it.
  8. The exhaust area is just prepped - for the tiling i used red/yellow/blue nuances, while for the filtering - OPs with streaking effects. Here is it at daylight and with a flashlight pointed at the aft deck to highlight the colors:
  9. Oh wow, it`s beautiful! I like the white/red constrast on that background. And the subtle weathering... just beautiful! Congrats on finishing it.
  10. Meanwhile, the canopy is unmasked and the IR provision too. Well, the canopy required some quite extraordinary cares by accessing the inner side through the nose wheel bay and the cockpit tub in order to get rid of literally dozens of tiny and big dust particles. Still the tiniest ones are there, but they are somehow not that visible on the pics. So, enjoy the true nose silhouette:
  11. Thank u all for the kind words! Deino, there is still some time till the Rollout πŸ™‚ First some light weathering with oil paints on the top fuselage, and a heavier weathering on the entire underside, and the nozzles/exhaust decks need plenty of touchups still.
  12. Lightly salt weathered: Just very transparent white acrylic all over. then the same but black - near the edges.
  13. On the starboard side, infront of the leading edge of the wingroot: I scribed provisions for it, and still have to paint/weather a lot of other paches/doors.
  14. The RAMs for the leading and trailing edges are indeed just the bare Surfacer coat πŸ˜‰It reflects no light at all.
  15. And decals + polishing + patchworks + lacquering. Nighttime + artifitial light πŸ™‚
  16. CJ, that`s an awesome looking Christmas Tree πŸ™‚ just kiddin. Well, the bombs really look awesome and numerous! I like the weathering.
