warthoglvr Posted July 5, 2012 Share Posted July 5, 2012 (edited) Got this in a trade recently and had to start building it. Wanted to mess around with paint/weathering of a black jet. Edited July 5, 2012 by warthoglvr Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Neo Posted July 5, 2012 Share Posted July 5, 2012 getting ready for a 32nd f-117 are we !! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
warthoglvr Posted July 5, 2012 Author Share Posted July 5, 2012 could be a warm-up build . . . . but I have to get the 117 kit first..... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
warthoglvr Posted July 7, 2012 Author Share Posted July 7, 2012 Got her on her legs . . . decals done . . . glosscoat applied. Now just some touch-ups here and there and a semi-gloss final coat . . . install seat and boarding ladder, maybe add something of interest on the wingtip rails, unmask the canopies and we should have a Bandit!

Macbain Posted July 8, 2012 Share Posted July 8, 2012 I would love to build one of these in this scale. Just got to find one first! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

JohnS Posted July 8, 2012 Share Posted July 8, 2012 Nice work! Here's an old pic I took back in the late '80's ( I think). That plane to the right of the Tomcat looks familiar. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

warthoglvr Posted July 9, 2012 Author Share Posted July 9, 2012 Last update before the finish coat and all the last bits and pieces are added and the canopies are unmasked for the final reveal: Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Neo Posted July 9, 2012 Share Posted July 9, 2012 is this kit with raised panel lines ? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
warthoglvr Posted July 9, 2012 Author Share Posted July 9, 2012 is this kit with raised panel lines ? Yes it is . . . and after starting constuction I decided to rescribe the kit . . . at least the topside, anyway. Bottom still has raised lines. I can live with that, though.
