Hurricane363 Posted January 14, 2009 Share Posted January 14, 2009 (edited) I've done this as a motivational aide. As motivation is something i'm sadly lacking (ask the people who i work with!!). Anyway, I'm doing this kit as a 52 FW a/c from the op telic era. so far, i've got the kit, hasegawa weapons set D, Eduard boarding ladder, Shull24's SNIPER pod, GBU-38's and the BRU-57 (on order) and the Afterburner Decal sheet 'The Big 22'. I should have most of the ordanance done later on tonight, so i'll post some pics then. Any help/comments appreciated. Mat.

zipper Posted January 14, 2009 Share Posted January 14, 2009 Hi Mat, Looking forward to seeing your build as I have just ordered this kit this week, I will be building mine straight from the box with TwoBobs decals. Where abouts in Lincoln are you fella? Have you heard of S.L.A.M (South Lincolnshire Association of Modellers) we are a new club that is growing all the time with some Awesome modellers, like Geoff Coughlin the author of some of the osprey modelling series of books. Heres a link and let me know if you fancy coming along to a meet, are next outing is the Milton Keynes show on the 1st Feb. www.geoffcoughlin.com/page8.htm Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Hurricane363 Posted January 14, 2009 Author Share Posted January 14, 2009 Here are the first photos, sorry about the quality... SNIPER XR pod and again GBU-12's GBU-38 JDAM's AIM-120 These need a light wash on the grey, and a dirty wash on the green 'dumb' bits (+decals) More to follow..... When i get round to it Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Hurricane363 Posted January 18, 2009 Author Share Posted January 18, 2009 Well after having my airbrush go u/s on me the other night i've finally finished banging my head off the wall and started doing some of the other bits that i can do before a coat of paint is required.... AIM-120, just waiting for a coat of future before it gets weathered (a little) Also needs a touch up on the grey. GBU-38, again needs a coat of future and the cone painting black/copper. Front u/c bay, i know the pipes are probably (more than likely) in the wrong place, but it makes the thing look a little busier. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
HWR MKII Posted January 18, 2009 Share Posted January 18, 2009 (edited) The nose of the Jdam is good as you have it. Maybe make the pointed cap on it a darker grey or olive drab. Its just a screw on plastic insert. The attachment screws and straps on the front fin package are brass or aluminum but very small.

Hurricane363 Posted May 26, 2009 Author Share Posted May 26, 2009 Well it's been a while but i've finally got some progress done on this A/C (it's just coincidence that it's the Hendon Model Show this weekend?!?!?) I'll be posting more over the next two days (which is when i'm looking to get it finished) Cheers For Looking Mat. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
RedHeadKevin Posted May 27, 2009 Share Posted May 27, 2009 I got real concerned when I saw the big bulbous bulbs on the tail lights. But then I realized that you have Blu-tac (?) masking off the clear parts. WHew..... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Hurricane363 Posted May 30, 2009 Author Share Posted May 30, 2009 Nearly there, just got a matt coat to apply, then fix in the seat and a boarding ladder... Should have more to follow later on today. Cheers for looking, Mat Quote Link to post Share on other sites
