Sorry...been busy with life again for a while :P But here´s a small update!

Exhausting work.... :P

Here´s the Kinetic exhaust...quite simple. and the AB-ring is engraved at the far end of the exhaust.

Nice details on the turky feathers tho.

Here´s the AMK dite....looks a wee bit more enticing with the rear fan and burner rings as separate parts. the exhaust pipe comes as two halfes btw but the seam disapears in the details on the inside.

A few annoying sinkmarks on the inside tho...

Comparin the cans you see that the AMK is quite a bit larger...wich is right I don´t know since I haven´t bothered looking for meassurements.

Here are the parts painted and washed, painted the pipes in a green hue, the burnerring and fan in alclad steel and the cans in Alclad exhaust.

And put togheter the size difference is obvious.

Some drybrushing and then I´m calling them done :D

Cheers!

Oki then...the final chapter has begun for the Kfirs!

The guzunders!

The C7 will get a load of 2 Python III, subsonic gas bags from the AMK kit since they are more correct... and a load of Rockeyes!

As for the C2, I´m not sure this was ever a war load...but it looks cool!

2 Pythons and a gazillion Snakeeyes!

IMG_1078_zps3571e526.jpg

Preshaded the gasbags after I primed them...

Primed the Snakes....then shot a coat of white on the tip and then dark yellow on top of that.

Cheers!

So a slight pause for a while then....
