Benner Posted January 8, 2011 Author Share Posted January 8, 2011 took a break from working on the Bronco to work on this. Unfortunately, I put a nasty cut into my finger while cutting out a space for the APU exhaust. rear fuselage is assembled, next step is to paint the neomega cockpit and continue cutting for aftermarket sets.

Sebastijan Posted January 8, 2011 Share Posted January 8, 2011 Nice to see some progress on her... I've also done some work on mine; nothing major, just gluing some bits and pieces together... Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Benner Posted January 10, 2011 Author Share Posted January 10, 2011 -closed up the front fuselage, still need to do some minor painting on the cockpit area. -some PE parts have been added for the airbrake actuator housing. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Benner Posted February 10, 2011 Author Share Posted February 10, 2011 started painting .. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Sebastijan Posted February 10, 2011 Share Posted February 10, 2011 Interesting that you've started with brown colour - I always paint from lightest to darkest. Are you gonna be using Valleyo for Light Stone? A friend of mine that made the mix said he used 60% XF60 + 30% white + 10% some light grey. and yeah, you're gonna beat me to it :P but most importantly - we're gonna both beat the deadline Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Benner Posted February 13, 2011 Author Share Posted February 13, 2011 here's how it is now, taking me a long time to paint the camo pattern Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Sebastijan Posted February 13, 2011 Share Posted February 13, 2011 looks good so far! And I know the feeling... spent some 4 hours on my camo... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Benner Posted February 15, 2011 Author Share Posted February 15, 2011 am waiting for paint to arrive for the camouflage so I'm working on other parts. Here's the JP233 dispensers from the Airfix Tornado kit; just need to flat coat them later. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Rampage55 Posted February 19, 2011 Share Posted February 19, 2011 Looking real sharp Benner! Excellent airbrush work. I always marvel at how subtly you are able build up layers of color over your preshading. Nicely done... Again... :wub: Mark Quote Link to post Share on other sites
