Brutus Posted January 5, 2014 Share Posted January 5, 2014 I have a few options for this particular build, could either go with the box decals or the DMX decals which supply 2 complete aircraft ( one had already been used) for this GB. At the moment, leaning towards a green aggressor :)/>/>/>/> Here's the box art The DMX decals Here's the aircraft about done awaiting the center pylon only...started towards last quarter 2013. Going to be a bit challenging on the green aggressor especially matching the 'Greens', wish me luck :D/>/> Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Brutus Posted January 7, 2014 Author Share Posted January 7, 2014 Arnobiz .. Will see through yours as well being in the same scale, have the same boxing in the stash :)/> Phantom .. I sure do hope so :lol:/> Progress so far, construction is pretty simple, straight forward and with not much details in the cockpit. Only serious pain, would be the two halves of the intakes .. Once attached it needs puttying. Should be ready for priming in a day or two. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Brutus Posted January 11, 2014 Author Share Posted January 11, 2014 Progression from the last few days, primed for flaws .. Pre shade the panels and it's ready for the paint shop. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Emvar Posted January 11, 2014 Share Posted January 11, 2014 I like the Japanese Aggressors pretty neat schemes. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Brutus Posted January 12, 2014 Author Share Posted January 12, 2014 (edited) OK...went through the paint shop for the standard grey, used a slight variation overall color, Gunze H308 and then H306, just to get some differences but somehow it's not all that noticeable in a way. Completed that and with the region all year round high temperature, drying time was pretty fast. Masking preparation completed, next comes those green camouflage. :unsure:/> Should look something like this.. I hope. Edited January 12, 2014 by Brutus Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Brutus Posted January 15, 2014 Author Share Posted January 15, 2014 Thanks for the kind words guys Green camo is on from the instructions sheet to make the light green, which was a combination of 3 colors and the other darker green. A coat of Future airbrushed over it. Turn out pretty decent I would say ... 'Almost' as with the references available. This shot is with table lamp lights over it. Without the lights over it. Going to let it cure for a day or so then the decal and stencils will come on. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Brutus Posted February 2, 2014 Author Share Posted February 2, 2014 It has been almost two weeks since the last update, well .. it's the final home stretch now as the zillion decals are on, it took about a few days and it turn out pretty well actually. The next step is to get those bits of landing doors and the canopy on. Panel lines wash and a flat coat over it. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Brutus Posted February 25, 2014 Author Share Posted February 25, 2014 I would call it done for this build :thumbsup:/>/> Will be taking some better shots in a day or two to complete the GB regulations. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
