Aigore Posted May 2, 2017 Author Share Posted May 2, 2017 Dear lord, so many decals..... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Aigore Posted May 8, 2017 Author Share Posted May 8, 2017 Well...the upper side is pretty much done... I really hate putting on stencils and it takes time because I can´t stand a session longer than an hour at the outmost so I spread it out over many days. Worst is that the small buggers hardly show! :( Geee, I wanna be done with thsi so I can do some fun for a change! Cheers! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Silenoz Posted May 8, 2017 Share Posted May 8, 2017 looking good, otherwise you can send the model and decals... don't mind putting them on, it's a kind of zen-therapy Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Aigore Posted May 9, 2017 Author Share Posted May 9, 2017 Almost done with them decals now...but I felkt the itch to do something else, just to remain sane! I got me this gorgeous brass pitot tube from Mini World, I prefered it to Masters and quickboost since it got the small fillets already in place. I drilled a 1.6mm hole down the nose and carefully marked where some plastic had to come off the tip to make the brass fit, I used my beloved caliphers to get an exact meassure. Now I just have to remove it carefully and delicately as to not ruin anything and the best way to do this is..... MY DREMEL with a cutting disc!!! Insert manical laughter here! ZZZZZING!!! MUHAHAHAHAHAHAHAA....clean off in under a second! And a drop fit :D Cheers! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Aigore Posted July 13, 2017 Author Share Posted July 13, 2017 It´s alive! Yeah had a few things coming inbetween but now it´s back on track! It´s washed, pigmented, flat coated and un masked :D Had to rub off some glue residue from the masking tape with a cotton swab then I attached the IRST and spare pitot tube. NIce to see the pit again afte removing the canopy and mask. The canopy got the pink seal around the frame...(actually one ting I had to build up mojo for :P ) Added the rear mirrors Put the air brake together... and the nose wheel as well. There....I´ll keep doing the small stuff untill it´s finished. I seem to have misplaced the decals for the missiles however :P Cheers! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
