I agree with the others in that you've done your usual masterful work Janne - I am just not a huge fan of the colours. But that's just me :)

Thanx MH :D

 

LOL how can you not like the colors?? they´re gorgeous...looks like a gown my mom had in the 70´s :D

Been a while but now here´s a little update :D


Painted the belly light blue, it´s israeli blue lightened with white until I got the right hue.

It looks great! 

 

And yes, the colors certainly remind me of the 70's! I think we had curtains with those colors. Or some bed sheets. Or both! No wonder I've always preferred simple "Armani colors" in our household. :D

It is not like this :)

Maybe I have expressed my self wrongly.What I meant was the panel line that has to be neat is really nasty and not sorted out.After all the work put into the model this was like 20-30 mins more work to sort the join and the panel line on the fuselage/radome join.

Thanx Janman, we all rememeber the horrors of the color choices of the 70's and trybtondeal with our traumas  as well as we can :P

Sweet like a dessert....maybe I should call this a dessert cammo, kind of looks chocolatey and creamy....

Looks nice but the radome to fuselage join is awfull.You should have sorted that one out.

Yup, you're very right Dragan....it's a sloppy joint, and it's an eye soar, should be dealt with!

 

 

 

 

 

I were at the Swedish Nationals at 08-Open in Stockholm last weekend, so you know why I haven't done an update yet :P

I did fairly well, I brought a gigantic load of 31 kits!, filled out the submarine class with 10 submarimes (didn't get a thing for them). Got 14 kits for the theme class of Sci-fi (got 2 special honorary mentions and 5 honorary mentions) and 7 jet models in two classes (coldwar and post coldwar, got a special honorary mention and 3 honorary mentions).

No class wins tho...but the competition was murderous :)

No, mate...I would never be upset by constructive criticism, that's why I post my builds so you all can make me better and teach me new ways.

What I do hate is when ppl spot things when the model is finished :P I never go back to a finished build...you spot something in the WIP-thread just holler at me, but when it's done it's done.

So please continue give your opinion and insight, it's invaluable!

Finally time for a small update :D


First off I decided to clean up the seam....it´s good enough

IMG_3246_zpsatoqohbv.jpg


Next was a bit of fun....the cans!

I begun with priming in Alclad gloss primer followed by airframe aluminium,then I played with steel, pale gold, pale exhaust and exhaust.

IMG_3247_zpsoqd5c3ms.jpg


Next I used tamyia pigments and blacka nd alunium pigments to weather the cans...the can to the left is weathered and the one to the right is just plain painted.

IMG_3248_zpsaanz3nav.jpg


And the end result.

Cheers!

If you're not happy with the exhausts! :) They do seem to be yet more colorful. Or maybe it's only the Polish fuel that does this: P1030488.jpg

 

Nice rhinoplasty! It looks good. On a Soviet bird some misaligned panels won't matter that much. If it flies fast, then what the hell! :D
