jester292 Posted April 28, 2017 Share Posted April 28, 2017 That is expertly done! Congrats on a nice build. How did you close the nozzle? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
The Madhatter Posted April 29, 2017 Share Posted April 29, 2017 what a cool scheme and one I have never seen before! I think this is fantastic and well worth a bump. Brilliant I also love the fact you sprayed the stripes and didn't use decals which really adds to the overall look of this build Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Red Dog Posted April 30, 2017 Author Share Posted April 30, 2017 Thank you gents. It's far from a perfect build, the challenge was the painting of the wing with the fading of the blue lines. When I look back I should have painted the blue lines on the fuselage and I should have tried harder fixing the intake :) How did you close the nozzle? I didn't. I was lucky and found a closed nozzle in my stash of parts. I can't remember from where it come but it was very handy. It just required a bit of sanding to fit. what a cool scheme and one I have never seen before If I remember right it was used only for one airshow season here in Belgium in 1998.

tobiK Posted April 30, 2017 Share Posted April 30, 2017 Fabulous job! I remember that the old Italeri Viper had such a closed nozzle in the kit. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Darren Roberts Posted May 8, 2017 Share Posted May 8, 2017 Overall and excellent build. The fading of the blue lines is what grabbed my attention. Nicely done! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Jack Here Posted May 17, 2017 Share Posted May 17, 2017 I don't like in-flight models as a rule, but this one is very fine indeed. Most excellent painting. You could have sprayed the whole scheme, as you said, I think it's quite obvious from the wings that you would have aced it. Brilliant! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
