Why is a F/A-18 Plane Captain (VFA-192) chaining down a Tomcat ? 😁 Just kidding. Steve He who "breaks" the chain puts the chain back on. 😀 BTW, the First Class Troubleshooter is just looking at what a real airplane (not a plastic lawn dart) looks like.😀😀 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Harry Chu Posted January 17, 2019 Author Share Posted January 17, 2019 I just removed the photo-etch seatbelt and tried to build it by using rubber sheet. The pilot is borrowed from my another F/A-18 so the seatbelt doesn't fit fit to the seat. 20190116_232006 by Harry1106, 於 Flickr 20190117_000753 by Harry1106, 於 Flickr 20190116_235601 by Harry1106, 於 Flickr 20190116_235505 by Harry1106, 於 Flickr 20190115_001824 by Harry1106, 於 Flickr Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Zach, Judging by the different location on the mounting pin on top of the unmodified strake, I think Harry actually made a cut along the panel line aft of the NACA vent intake in order to easily hollow it out from either the front or back side of it, to then replace the whole aft portion of the strake back again. At least that's how I did it with mine. Cheers, Onigiri Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Mstor Posted April 1, 2019 Share Posted April 1, 2019 If I might ask, what techniques are you using to weather? Are the tonal variations in the general finish due to the weathering or were they a product of whatever method you used when applying the overall colors (pre-shading or some such technique)? The subtlety of the weathering is SO good. Just some hints as to how you do it for those of us that struggle with that part of their builds? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
