jonbryon Posted May 22, 2019 Share Posted May 22, 2019 (edited) Here's my latest built: Kitty Hawk's 1/48 Lockheed F-94C Starfire in Caracal decals. The finish is Bare Metal Foil and Mr Color paint. The nose and wingtip tanks are Uschi van der Rosten polishing powder over Mr Color gloss black. It's my second attempt at foiling, and better than the first, but still means a lot of compromises. An extensive build article detailing the kit and my faults is here: https://jonbryon.com/kitty-hawk-1-48-lockheed-f-94c-starfire/ Comments welcome. Thanks for looking Jon Edited May 22, 2019 by jonbryon Quote Link to post Share on other sites

aircommando130 Posted June 23, 2019 Share Posted June 23, 2019 Very nice! Bright and shiny was the way they were back then. Crew chief did it all! Especially like the arctic red around the wings and tail. Cheers...Ron Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Zactoman Posted June 29, 2019 Share Posted June 29, 2019 Very impressive build of a difficult scheme. The minor flaws you point out in your article are minor. I barley noticed before reading it and dismissed them due to the difficulty of the scheme. On 6/8/2019 at 5:30 AM, jonbryon said: Indeed, it is a little too bright! But then the original was pretty bright too 🙂 If I had a critique it might be this. I think it could have been even brighter! But it does look great as-is. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
