Then, I lightened with Gunze H314 :

Next step, the weathering of the painting. I began to represent the shadows with the basic color mixed with Black :

Because I haven’t markings on the decals sheet, I decided to represent them with stencils :

Then Sepia, to mark the shadows of the parts in relief:

The first wash was made with Payne’s grey. Only in the engraved lines:

To protect the painting, I sprayed a coat of gloss varnish :

The weathering was made with a thin coat of Black and Tamiya XF-10 Brown :

Hello, thanks for your comments. I used Gunze H67 with a drop of Cyan to paint the lower surface. The dielectric panels were painted with Gunze H340 and the protective sheet metal with PA Metal :

Blank setting, to see if it’s good : Still some additions to be made on the landing gear before the painting. Bye

For the main landing gear, I remade all actuators :

The nose landing gear finished :

For the nose landing gear wheel, I had the choice between a rim with pigeonhole or with a trim. (I’m not sure of translation ) I chose the simplest even if it’s not most aesthetic

Hello and thanks for your kind words. Et pas le moindre ! Ca me touche particulièrement, Pierre Merci I totally agree with you. I don’t denigrate after-market resin and photo-etch sets because the guys who made them are very talented but personally, I think it’s more rewarding to make oneself the job. The doors are finished :

Extraordinary painting job :D

:D Impressive job. Cockpit and details are very realistic.

I’ve remade the electronique bay and nose landing gear bay doors : The hollow, in blue, has been thermoformed with a little tool : Next step, landing gear. Bye :D

A try with external fuel tanks :

Thanks everybody. Don't worry Wayne, just a small piece will be coverered. The pylons are finished. Long, long job :

Hello, Bye

I do that this week-end Il est déjà sur Fighters Thanks for your comments Bye

It remains to fill the gap and it will be ok : Bye :D

Here is good :

And I add two spars which will give the good angle :

To correct it, I cut the fuselage piece from the wing :

Hello, Thanks for your kind comments and all my best wishes for this New Year. The dihedral doesn't have the good angle :
