that TwoBobs decal sheet will be useful as i'll do a second scheme from!

to that, i'll add:

- Aires short nozzles

- master metal pitots (i'd buy 10 of those sets for the group build!)

- eduard Masks

- eduard F-4C self adhesive Zoom set

- brassin wheel set

...also, not there but coming (soon , i hope) in the mail : Rhino Modelwork seamless intakes (as Dmolds didn't do a set for raised panel line kit)

like my other projects... will begin this week end...

regards

Simon

some update...

seats are now done, thanks to following members, for their kind contribution, in giving me infos on seat colors... as i'm colorblind, this is priceless: phantom, modelbillder,Spectre711, ...without forgetting PlasticWeapons !

thank you all for your valuable info, hints and time.

maybe all your help won't show well in my work, but i really did try very hard!

those are the hand painted PE instrument panels... now the instruments are slightly offset, due to manipulation accident while gluing body halves together...

that one is also doing pretty fine now...

it is a bit harder to do than my other hase Phantoms as it have raised panel lines... i bought some Archer fine transferts to do some rivets and lines repair... but still try to limit damage...

as with my other kits where i used way too much resin bits , there was big gaps on the underside T joint... filling was required... and sanding is on a ongoing stage... this is not the simpliest place to work on...

everything have been sanded... smooth surface have been obtain using my dremmel and polishing cloth... not because i really wanted it to be smooth as glass, but only to better seen where are the scratches i could have miss...

there is still very small here and there... but nothing very noticeable...

lost details on the spine have been scribe, i did use the academy's kit spine refueling door as a scribbling template.

i'll use Archer's fine details transfers to restore some lines and rivets that where lost...
