Spad Posted May 20, 2013 Share Posted May 20, 2013 Hello modelers, I wont show you my progress. The box...... I have not used resins for the exhaust pipes (I hope that they will translate well), but I drilled those of the kit .... a detail of the cockpit enriched with photoeched Eduard Zoom..... The engine was only painted, I did not detail it because it will be almost completely covered and the seat, it was completely smooth and flat, I used vallejo paints to try to simulate the padding and give it volume. Same thing for the seat belts ...... And finally the cockpit with the control panel ...... What do you think of this work? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I think you are doing a GREAT job ! @ 1/72 scale I think your job on the kit exhausts is just fine. Allan Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Spad Posted June 2, 2013 Author Share Posted June 2, 2013 Hello modelers, thanks for the comments left! :)/> Here is my progress.:)/> I have recreated the grid in front of the oil cooler inlet scoop using a metal grid, painted in black and du apllicando on it a drybrush with aluminum..... Then I detailed the engine a bit by adding pipes and bolts ..... then I have redone a part of the mechanism for opening the canopy ....... then a minimum of cables in the wheel bays ....... and at the end I have redone the guns and pitot tube with the profiles of brass Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ChippyWho Posted June 2, 2013 Share Posted June 2, 2013 Some serious work! I'll be following this with interest. What markings are you planning to use? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Spad Posted June 2, 2013 Author Share Posted June 2, 2013 Some serious work! I'll be following this with interest. What markings are you planning to use? Probably a subject of VA-152 aboard the USS Oriskany in 1966, the specimen with the ace of spades on the fuselage,I will have to make home made decals because I know that they do not exist in 1/72!

Spad Posted June 3, 2013 Author Share Posted June 3, 2013 Holy words mate,especially for guys without job like me! Can ask you the source to replicate the grid? Gianni Ciao Gianni, I remember buying it at the exhibition in Brescia a few years ago in a stand of foreign exhibitors, I can not be more precise, they do not have brand name and were in simple transparent packaging. I'm sorry about your job, I hope that the situation will improve soon!! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Four Corners Posted June 12, 2013 Share Posted June 12, 2013 I have this kit and I am following your build with great interest. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Spad Posted June 17, 2013 Author Share Posted June 17, 2013 Albeit slowly, I continue work on the Spad is the model primed, now I'll start with a heavy preshading! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Darren Roberts Posted June 18, 2013 Share Posted June 18, 2013 Probably a subject of VA-152 aboard the USS Oriskany in 1966, the specimen with the ace of spades on the fuselage,I will have to make home made decals because I know that they do not exist in 1/72! Starfighter decals has them in 1/350 scale. If you get in touch with him, may enlarge them and print them on decal film for you. I'm doing the aircraft for a 1/96 scale Oriskany and had him make decals for him. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Spad Posted June 18, 2013 Author Share Posted June 18, 2013 Here is the preshading, very marked in order to prepare the model to the next weathering! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Spad Posted June 25, 2013 Author Share Posted June 25, 2013 Here is the first phase of the paint, from here on in I'll start with the weathering true with so many different techniques, I hope that it will come good :blink: Quote Link to post Share on other sites
shamael Posted June 27, 2013 Share Posted June 27, 2013 Hi Vincenzo, great job so far. Complimenti! I've the same boxing and just waiting for an inpiring decal sheet to start it. Do you have any advice on the assembly process? is it requiring a lot of filler? And then, I see you preshaded with brown\red brown... why? what's the effect you want to get? Attendo sviluppi :D Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Attendo sviluppi :D/>/> Ciao, the decals are going to get, for the model that I have chosen they do not exist and then a friend made ​​them for me. The pictures you see are the only ones that I did because the assembly is very simple, I used a bit of milliput only between the wings and the fuselage and some other micro point but nothing more. The dual color preshading is why I want to get a part of the total after the first coat of paint and as you can see from the photos below the brown needed to have a base for oil leakage. I hope that the photos may partially satisfy your curiosity :)/> Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Aggressor01 Posted July 29, 2013 Share Posted July 29, 2013 Superb job on the exaust stains. Those are hard to get right especially on the "Sandy" Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Spad Posted August 31, 2013 Author Share Posted August 31, 2013 (edited) I can show you the pictures of the model with a decal that my friend made ​​for me. The American signs were painted instead with masks that a friend has done for me, the result is not perfect but for me is the first time I use this technique and I'm happy.
