[EL REY]

Hi!, over there I find a relic. One model from Lodela(Revell's licence), the pioneer of kits in my country. A beautiful Scorpion F-89D in scale 1/77, or 1/72 scale?, well this old kit, has a encounter qualities. however I love it. The kit will be my first and last metalizer aircraft. I want to do a realistic bare metal. I show you the kit finished.

Second step I paint the radome and antiglare

I preshaded wings and control surfaces

I use Gunze aqueous, red and yellow. after I put on the necessary decals.

Very cool. You should move this thread over to the In Progress section so even the helicopter and prop guys can learn from it!

Almost decals are from the original kit, USAF and insignias are superscale templates.
