saxman357 Posted January 31, 2010 Share Posted January 31, 2010 Started this one last weekend, here's where I'm at right now: Based on the night camo scheme I'm going with, after test-fitting the wings to the fuselage I decided it would be easier to paint the wings as subassemblies. Camo is brushpainted freehand. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Lock n' Load Posted January 31, 2010 Share Posted January 31, 2010 Hey, doing good. A tip from brushpainted to brushpainter though... always wetsand your dried paintjob with the finest sandpaper you got on hand so you remove those little dust and paint gloops you can get in your surface. It will also even the paint when you use more than one color. Also, you might want to paint the camo demarcations again to make them a bit more soft and without so many ondulations. Just my opinion, besides that i love how this is building up. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
saxman357 Posted February 8, 2010 Author Share Posted February 8, 2010 Got quite a bit done this weekend. Here's the fuselage assembled & primed: After some paint, wings dryfitted: Lower surfaces painted black, then wings glued on: Still some seams to touch up this week before adding the horizontal stabilizers. Hope to be able to start decaling by Sunday. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
saxman357 Posted February 11, 2010 Author Share Posted February 11, 2010 Turns out I've had more time to work on this than I expected. Puttied/sanded/repainted the seams, touched up the Future coat and got to work on the stabilizers. Primed and starting on the first coat of paint: Upper surfaces decaled as of this evening (Microsol still wet): Quote Link to post Share on other sites
saxman357 Posted February 13, 2010 Author Share Posted February 13, 2010 Another day and some more decal work: I see the leading edge needs some touch-up painting. That can wait for the first flat coat, though. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
