Devilleader501 Posted July 4, 2013 Share Posted July 4, 2013 The only thing done to this thing is scribed panels, sanded fuse, and glued the upper part of the fuse together. Hope it will pass as being worthy of joining this GB. Here is a picture of what I have and the paint scheme I'm going with. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
dnl42 Posted July 6, 2013 Share Posted July 6, 2013 Welcome to the build! The desert Intruder is a cool scheme! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Aggressor01 Posted July 7, 2013 Share Posted July 7, 2013 I figured you'd pull this one out of the closet. I'd jump in with that tomcat but I'm too far into it. Give em hell Josh! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Devilleader501 Posted July 9, 2013 Author Share Posted July 9, 2013 Hey Kris I have that Tomcat I will donate to your cause if you want to join this GB. It has AM bang seats and decals. Let me know. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Brian P: Fightertown Decals Posted August 11, 2013 Share Posted August 11, 2013 He'll yes! Can't wait to see this one. If I can do anything to help, lmk! He one thing you do want to get right is the paint colors. Decals are FS printed. Tan is easy. Light color here is no bottling of. 9:1 radome tan to military brown is just about perfect. My mixes from 8:1-12:1 were all in the ballpark. But 9:1 if you figure it out is a bullseye. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Bigasshammm Posted August 12, 2013 Share Posted August 12, 2013 If I send you my Intruder will you scribe it? Wow I plan to do the desert Intruder as well but it's far down the list. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Devilleader501 Posted November 26, 2013 Author Share Posted November 26, 2013 Wow here it is late November and I haven't touched this thing. I'll have to see what I can get done over the holiday weekend. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Devilleader501 Posted November 26, 2013 Author Share Posted November 26, 2013 Sorry about the late start everyone. I have been busy as hell. Work, moving into a new house, and my relationship with my Fiancee renewing its self. Anyway I have pulled this out of the stash and hopefully will be able to finish it by the 30th of December. Its going to be OOB except the Fighter Town Decals. The cockpit has its first paint on and the fuselage has its first coat of paint. After it dries I will continue paint. I can already see the fuse needsw more filler. Not bad but its driving me nuts because its on the spine of the aircraft. Hopefully I can have most of the pit painted and put together tomorrow, then its on to attaching the wings and installing the pit in the fuse. After that everything will be closed up permanently. Which gets details from there. Stay tuned this will be my fastest build yet. I want it finished for this GB and to have it ready for when I finish the Prowler. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Devilleader501 Posted November 29, 2013 Author Share Posted November 29, 2013 Damn super glue got me again. GRRRRRRRR. I have been a busy body though. Fuse is all wrapped up and ready to have the nose filled and scribed. Cockpit is almost done and wings are ready to be fitted. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Ace Combat Zero Posted November 29, 2013 Share Posted November 29, 2013 You sprayed those testors enamels? If you did, how exactly did you clean out your airbrush? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Devilleader501 Posted November 29, 2013 Author Share Posted November 29, 2013 Testors is the only paint I have access to. I do not want to pay the online prices for something that is no better than the paint I use. That being said I use Klean Strip lacquer thinner for everything from thinning paint to cleaning my airbrush. It's cheap and works like a charm. Because it is such a HOT thinner ie( makes paint dry faster I suggest experimenting with a model you don't care about before trying it with something that is your pride and joy. Because it is so HOT it will dry your paint in half the time regular thinner drys in. This is why I say experiment. This stuff is strong but its not like its going to kill plastic I just don't want to see you ruin a model because the paint drys so fast with this stuff. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
