Top of the day guys! Ok...I'm having a heck of a time getting the seeker heads right on my AIM-9M Sidewinders. When I say "seeker head" I mean the chromish section near the tip of the missile.
How do you guys paint this section?? It's been hard to mask and spray without bleed-through the tape. It's also been hard to get that shiny chrome look.
Thanks!

for my first completed model this year. Work on it lasted about 8 months. The model was made from modeling scrap and came to me incomplete and damaged (the upper part of the hull was cracked). After completing the missing elements and repairing the damage, I built it in the configuration proposed by Monogram, i.e. an early Tomcat with VF-142 from the USS America. The model is painted with Bilmodel, Mr.Hobby and Alclad paints.
Thank you!

To mój pierwszy ukończony model w tym roku. Prace nad nim trwały około 8 miesięcy. Model został wykonany ze złomu modelarskiego i trafił do mnie jako niekompletny i uszkodzony (pęknięta górna część kadłuba). Po uzupełnieniu brakujących elementów, naprawieniu uszkodzeń, zbudowałem go w konfiguracji zaproponowanej przez firmę Monogram, czyli wczesny Tomcat z VF-142 z USS America. Model pomalowany farbami Bilmodel, Mr.Hobby i Alclad.
Interpretation please!

I think it has been pencilled in for several years. I think the wisest path is to provide a simple interior - basic cargo deck and flight deck - and get the price under $100. Leave all the super detailing and interior stuff for the aftermarket. Not everyone needs a lot of interior detail that can't be seen when the model is finished. Or provide all that extra detail in a "sold separately" kit for the folks who enjoy it.
I agree with Paul. It's kinda annoying that they can't get this thing right. Take Revell's 144 C-17 as an example. Basic everything. But it builds up to a very nice model. We're not going to be able to see the interior anyhow! But one thing's for sure....they need to quit pumpin us full of false hope.

No…I mean Navy Blue. Not the current engine gray scheme.
This is what I’m asking. Navy Blue before -vs- the current Engine Gray scheme. -

Paul,
thanks for your comment.
I actually didn't have a big problem with the wings. I filled the relatively large gaps at the transition from the center wing to the outer wing, reinforced them and brought them to the same height. The outer wings were very straight and very stable after assembly. When building my RC-135U Combat Sent I did the same thing, but I also added square bars for reinforcement. This was a precaution because I used resin CFM56, which are quite heavy. No problem so far.
Thanks for your reply! What did you mean that you added "square bars"? Thanks!

Amazing work! I love the subject. Rare and beautiful. How did you solve the wing droop problem with the AMT kit?
Thanks,
Paul

Anybody heard anything more about the Kinetic 1/72 C-17? Last I heard it was supposed to be released at the end of this year. Haha...yeah right.
Thanks,

Hey guys....I'm having a lot of trouble getting my AIM-9L/M sidewinder colors right and the paint compatibility. I've had a lot of "spidering". Stripping the missiles now.
Can you all share how you do your AIM-9L/M Sidewinder Missiles? Especially...the guidance and seeker head paints/colors.
Thanks!

Two Bobs did a Pope Flying Tigers (FT) sheet with multiple sharkmouth schemes - I just sold mine.
Any idea how I could score a 2Bobs sheet?

Guys...I'm looking for a decal sheet for a 1/48 F-16C Sharkmouth. Not "Tigermeet" but simply a Sharkmouth for the nose of the jet.
Can anyone help? Thanks ahead of time!

Guys….I’m not looking for the colors. I’ve got that down. I’m looking for how y’all mask this seeker head area. It’s been really hard to get this area masked neatly. Thanks!
