A-10 LOADER Posted May 12, 2016 Share Posted May 12, 2016 That looks really cool, the Viking looks real shot outside. I especially like the CBU loadout for the cat, you don't see that very often, I like it a lot !! Steve Quote Link to post Share on other sites
falcon20driver Posted June 20, 2016 Author Share Posted June 20, 2016 Finally, back up and running. The replacement windscreen is on and the new pitot tube from Master is here as well. I sprayed the interior black on the canopy today and plan on finishing the primer coat tomorrow. Then its on to the pre-shading and main colors. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Drifterdon Posted June 20, 2016 Share Posted June 20, 2016 Love what you're doing here! I've been following along with this since the beginning. BTW - Is it Easter again already? I see a bunch of eggs on the back of the workbench... :rolleyes:/> Quote Link to post Share on other sites
my favs are F`s Posted June 20, 2016 Share Posted June 20, 2016 That`s a silhouette Quote Link to post Share on other sites
falcon20driver Posted June 20, 2016 Author Share Posted June 20, 2016 Thanks guys. The egg planes are for a special project that I think everyone here will get a kick out of. But, that's for another day. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
falcon20driver Posted June 23, 2016 Author Share Posted June 23, 2016 Started weathering, then the nozzle on my airbrush sheared off, yet again bringing this build to a grinding halt. Ever have a build that just appears cursed? I'm boxing it up now to send off to the fine folks at Paasche. Hopefully it gets back soon enough to finish this by Early September for a contest.

falcon20driver Posted July 11, 2016 Author Share Posted July 11, 2016 Ok, I'm back home and Paasche sent my replacement airbrush and I purchased another one (single action). I have painted a few colors on and its starting to look like something. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
kike Posted July 12, 2016 Share Posted July 12, 2016 (edited) Youddaman!!! awesome build! you complain about your 'cat build and I can only wish to build one like that!! such is life <sigh> Edited July 12, 2016 by kike Quote Link to post Share on other sites
A-10 LOADER Posted July 12, 2016 Share Posted July 12, 2016 Nice progress so far, nice to see you back at the bench. I'm jealous, yours has some color on it, unlike mine. Steve Quote Link to post Share on other sites
balls47 Posted July 13, 2016 Share Posted July 13, 2016 Ok, I'm back home and Paasche sent my replacement airbrush and I purchased another one (single action). I have painted a few colors on and its starting to look like something. Hey falcon20driver, This may be off topic, or but what color is the blue that you over-painted the canopies of your Hasegawa egg-models in the background? Thanks, Tim Quote Link to post Share on other sites
falcon20driver Posted July 13, 2016 Author Share Posted July 13, 2016 Hey Tim, I use Sky Blue for canopies. I just pour it inside the canopy, swish it around till I have full coverage, then pour it back out. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
falcon20driver Posted July 14, 2016 Author Share Posted July 14, 2016 So close! I'll be thrilled to see this one finally come to a close. This is my first time using FCM decals and they're fantastic. I won't hesitate to use them again. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Darren Roberts Posted July 14, 2016 Share Posted July 14, 2016 Almost there! It's looking NOICE!!!!!!! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
A-10 LOADER Posted July 15, 2016 Share Posted July 15, 2016 Cool, coming together nicely. This will surely be one eye catching display when completed. Keep up the great job F20D. Steve Quote Link to post Share on other sites
falcon20driver Posted July 15, 2016 Author Share Posted July 15, 2016 (edited) Stencils on, armament on, stabs on, just a final clear coat then lights and pitots, etc.... The wife is busy all day tomorrow, so I'm really hoping to get most everything wrapped up throughout the day. As I near the finishing line on this one I would like to sincerely thank everyone who helped out. Quite a few members sent parts and decals that were desperately needed at no charge, and that really means a lot. Also, to everyone who provided encouragement I truly appreciate that. There were many times I wanted to walk away but you guys provided the needed inspiration. Edited July 15, 2016 by falcon20driver Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Fighting Eighty-Four Posted July 15, 2016 Share Posted July 15, 2016 On the home stretch now, both models look amazing, and together this is one spectacular dio. I am really looking forward to seeing it upon it's completion! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
