AWACS-RESIN

Hi all. I'll start posting the assembly process in the In-Progress Pics category soon. However, I'll limit myself to essential steps that are worth mentioning if I deviate from the instructions or my own construction style. A link here will tell you the start.

My first P-8A (BPK) with MUOS UHF-band SATCOM dome and AN/APS-154 is in progess.

Now here is the final work on the Solo. The finished engines were attached and a dome was installed on the wings. Some extra decals were made r the coulings. After painting with matt varnish, the windows were exposed and the windshield wipers were attached. Now I can start on a new Herecules project. Maybe an HC and an EC-130H Compass Call. We'll see. Thank you for your interest. For more pic, here a ink to the Display Area: http://www.arcforums.com/forums/air/index.php?/topic/377070-lookheed-martin-ec-130j-commando-solo-scale-172/

The Commando Solo is now finished and ready for you to look at. This is my sixth Herc. The next project could be an EC-130H Compass Call. But for that I still need some good pictures of the tail area. Thanks again for looking.

Thanks Steve. Cheers

The last work was to attach the GBU-39 before the model was sprayed with clear varnish. Then the window masks could finally be removed and the windshield wipers attached. Thanks to everyone for stopping by. Under the following link more pic of the model. http://www.arcforums.com/forums/air/index.php?/topic/377015-lookheed-martin-ac-130j-ghostrider-zvezda-scale-172/

So, now another Herc is finished. Thanks to everyone for stopping by. See you again soon with the finished EC-130J.

In my series USAFE, Phantoms over Germany, in this article I show another squadron in Germany that flew the Phantom. In 2 parts there will be eight RF-4C Phantom IIs. Part 2, so 4 more models still have to be built. In the first part there are 4 machines that can be seen in the South East Asia (SEA) camouflage with white and black tail codes. The same applies to the equipment of the models such as paintwork and decals as in previous articles about the F-4 Phantom of the USAFE. The 1/72 scale models are from Hasegawa, paint from Xtracolor and decals from AirDoc.

Thanks Steve. Actually it was pritty easy to spry the paint to the almost covered areas.

The machine has been sprayed and we can move on. I actually wanted to continue with the engines here too, but I didn't really feel like it. I had most of the decals printed by a company using a laser and then applied them. Next up are the engines. Thanks for looking

I actually wanted to continue with the engines, but I didn't really feel like it. So I made my own decals and applied them. Only the decal for the ARR is not from me. I came from the Italeri kit. Next up are the engines. Thanks for watching.

Thank you kylewb3. No, not on those. But worked Phase Inspection on NATO NE-3A Sentry for 30 Years.

All antennas are attached and the windows are taped on my parallel build of the AC-130J. I have started spraying the undersides of the fuselage and wings with FS16622. Next, the upper surfaces will be painted with FS16118 Gunship Grey.

All antennas and pods are attached. The next step was to mask off the windows and then spray paint the fuselage and wings with FS16173 ADC Grey. I added some shading. The engines will be built next and then painted. In the meantime, everything for the white and black parts will be masked off and then spray painted.

Work continues also here on the AC-130J . Finished the lower fuselage. Next will be the remining of the fwd fuselage.
