Tripio Posted July 27, 2010 Share Posted July 27, 2010 Hey LazThanks for the comments. If I'm looking at the same spot you are, the shiny part is just where I had glued the nose on, that's right where it butts up against the lower fuselage. For markings, I'm using Fightertowns Pukin' Dogs sheet, representing this jet: http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v61/far1...hedogsout_1.jpg Hopefully it'll turn out nicely! Brett I know it will. ;) Good choice. Regards,Laz Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Brett M Posted September 6, 2010 Author Share Posted September 6, 2010 Updates as of 10 minutes ago :lol: With flash... Without.... My first attempt with preshading as well, it's pretty light, but the paint scheme on this was pretty new from the pics I have, so not much weathering. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Brett M Posted September 7, 2010 Author Share Posted September 7, 2010 Couple more from today..... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Brett M Posted September 7, 2010 Author Share Posted September 7, 2010 Now she's sitting out drying with a nice gloss coat on. Hopefully onto decals soon! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Brett M Posted September 7, 2010 Author Share Posted September 7, 2010 Dark outside, so not the best pics. I threw a few decals on it tonight Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Tripio Posted September 7, 2010 Share Posted September 7, 2010 Hi Brett, finally,an update from you. It's looking good so far. I'm hoping for a haevy weathering. Regards,Laz Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Sorry it took so long, I wasn't very motivated ;) As for weathering......I'm thinking very very light, as it was a new paint job. But, we'll see ;) Quote Link to post Share on other sites

twong Posted September 7, 2010 Share Posted September 7, 2010 Coming along nicely. Looks good in the VFA-143 markings. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Jinxter13 Posted September 8, 2010 Share Posted September 8, 2010 Very, very nice, great work. I know what a PITA that kit can be. To get that kind of build, and result from it speaks volumes of your modeling skills :D . Quote Link to post Share on other sites
infideon Posted September 8, 2010 Share Posted September 8, 2010 Sweet! love the markings! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Brett M Posted September 8, 2010 Author Share Posted September 8, 2010 Couple more......just a few more decals then I can seal it up. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Brett M Posted September 12, 2010 Author Share Posted September 12, 2010 Here's a few more updates.....decals are on, gloss coat to seal them done. I started washing it with Promodellers Dark wash last night. Canopy is dull coated, so I pulled the tape off. Turned out pretty well. I dipped it 3-4 times in Future mixed with Tamiya smoke, hopefully you can notice it's tinted lol Fuel tank.....hard to tell the weathering in this pic, I'll take a better one later. I washed it out with light Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Tripio Posted September 12, 2010 Share Posted September 12, 2010 Ah-hah, it is coming along very nicely... Canopy looks good for me.Not overtinted,that's for sure...Somehow I need purchase Future.A canopy tinting job is waiting for me also (EA-6B) I see some parts for a helicopter up there?What else is in progress? I vote on a Sikorsky xx-60 hopefully an SH or HH. Regards,Laz Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Janissary Posted September 13, 2010 Share Posted September 13, 2010 It's coming along very nicely Brett. Incidentally, I saw this aircraft just today at the Wings over Pittsburgh airshow. Here are some pics of it. Your build is really capturing the plane quite well. I have a number of other closeups if anyone is interested. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Brett M Posted September 13, 2010 Author Share Posted September 13, 2010 Thanks buddy! The pics are great! Did they go to black on everything? The tail and nose look black to me on my monitor. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Brett M Posted September 13, 2010 Author Share Posted September 13, 2010 More......overall is done. The canopy will be in the raised position when I'm finished. Pylons need to be finished and painted. Right now they're all just stuck there for pictures ;) Weapons are beginning to be assembled as well and all fuel tanks are done.

jetmodeler Posted September 13, 2010 Share Posted September 13, 2010 Excellent job overall. Can't wait to see it with the weapons and canopy open. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Janissary Posted September 14, 2010 Share Posted September 14, 2010 Brett, the markings are very dark blue. There has been some request for the pictures. If it is ok with you, the pictures (mostly closeups, no overall airplane pics) can be found: >>here<< The zip file is ~12.4 MB Your build is coming along really well. Hope to see it finished soon!
