oortiz10 Posted November 22, 2018 Share Posted November 22, 2018 Hey ARC, Just thought I'd post some pictures of my latest 3-footer. This started as a subject for the USN Legacy Squadron GB, but I didn't get it done before the deadline. It's been sitting on my Shelf of Doom for longer than I care to admit. While paint and glue dried on a couple of other projects, I picked and pecked at this one until I got it finished. It's definitely not a contest winner, but it looks cool on my shelf. I saw this picture online and knew immediately that I had to build this jet. The jet's plastic is straight out of the box. The decals are from Two Bobs. The loadout was collected from multiple boxes of Hasegawa ordnance. The bombs in the picture are modern Mk. 83s. Since I couldn't source a batch of those, I used the old Vietnam-era ones I had access to. I didn't change the fins (too much work), but I did modify the fuse a little. The thermal coating is textured spray paint. It's a bit too much for the scale, but I was going for representation not replication. MM paints were used exclusively. This was the first time I tried the black-basing method. I like the effect, especially for modern USN schemes, and I may try it again. The kit was weathered with Flory washes and pastels. Feel free to share your thoughts. Questions, comments, and criticisms are welcome. Thanks for looking! Cheers, -O Quote Link to post Share on other sites
