kurnass77 Posted November 24, 2015 Author Share Posted November 24, 2015 Thanks guys,I made some touch up here and there and now is glassed! More pics ASAP. Gianni Quote Link to post Share on other sites
kurnass77 Posted November 28, 2015 Author Share Posted November 28, 2015 Hi guys, I've started the decals application after some good layers of Alclad Aqua Gloss. [/url][/img] The first to go on was the wings' Magen David and the belly stencils... [/url][/img] ...the air intake warning. [/url][/img] Now,since the beginning,I've planned to use the decals from the RoG'F-16B sheet to simulate the chaff & flare dispenser,but after the application I've some doubt as they seem smaller than the real and,obviously,flat. Who do you think? For any good count I've ordered a pair of Brengun PE sheet of chaff & flare dispensers... [/url][/img] That's all for now,thanks for watching and let me know about the expandable dispensers. Gianni Quote Link to post Share on other sites

SERNAK Posted November 30, 2015 Share Posted November 30, 2015 Great work Gianni, Seems the Fujimi kit is the best in the scale. Wish I could find one for a decent price Quote Link to post Share on other sites
kurnass77 Posted November 30, 2015 Author Share Posted November 30, 2015 Thanks Sernak. The fujimi kits are progressively more rare,at least in Italy;I've bought recently the Airfix Bravo with the will of converting him to a Chearlie or Echo with the addition of the Attack Squadron nose conversion.

kurnass77 Posted December 5, 2015 Author Share Posted December 5, 2015 Hello guys, in the past dats I've finished to apply the decals but first I replaced the decal of the Chaff & flare dispenser with the Brengun PE. This's the PE sheet;note that both empry and armed options are provided. [/url][/img] Her you can see the final result:I've first added a panel that I've miss at first,next I create a plasticard frame and inserted the PEs. [/url][/img] And here with all the decals placed and the second gloss coat. [/url][/img] [/url][/img] [/url][/img] Some detail shots. [/url][/img] Sorry for the dust,I take the pics before the gloss coat,next the panel wash followed by a little weathering. Thanks for watch, Gianni Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Rodney Posted December 6, 2015 Share Posted December 6, 2015 Looks good. The photo etch flare buckets add a nice touch. Rodney Quote Link to post Share on other sites
SERNAK Posted December 6, 2015 Share Posted December 6, 2015 At least somebody from this group-build is having some progress with his model! Well done Gianni. Keep giving us the good example! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Thadeus Posted December 7, 2015 Share Posted December 7, 2015 You must have quite a collection of IAF birds by now. Skyhawk is looking awesome! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
kurnass77 Posted December 8, 2015 Author Share Posted December 8, 2015 Thanks all guys,really! Actually I add the panel wash,different wash for the different colors of the camo,but the one on the green areas turned out too dark,so I need to lighten it a bit,more pica soon!

kurnass77 Posted December 21, 2015 Author Share Posted December 21, 2015 Hi gents, I think this's my last update before the finished product. The model received the panel washes ( artist oils on the upper surfaces and Tamiya panel line accent color on the lower) and a flat coat. [/url][/img] [/url][/img] When I unmasked the clear parts,the tape left some tedious glue residues;'cause this time I don't used the customary Future bath,I used the various Tamiya compund to return the original transparency.I take also the moment to add the seams ( with brush and Vallejo's Ice Yellow) and added the internal details.Sorry for the dust! [/url][/img] I wasn't happy with the clear nav light of the port wing and added a new one.This was also the opportunity to try the Hataka IAF set;I'm glad both with the new light and the colors effect as look like a freshly painted (as it is) replacement panels. [/url][/img] The undercarriage parts. [/url][/img] The weapons load. [/url][/img] I can't resist and added some chipping on the fuel tanks as per Israbook reference. [/url][/img] And that's all for now,more pics ASAP. Thanks for watching, Gianni Quote Link to post Share on other sites
