With some additional painting, weathering and decaling, now I could finally glue the fwd fuselage together.

Some little progress...

 

Since the wheels from Truescale, which are great, have low pressure that the real aircraft won't have on board the carrier, I have to redo the wheels from Reskit. 

 

 

And I finished some post shading on the main frame.

Thank you for watching

After finishing the decals, I sprayed another layer of clear coat, then it's time to weathering the stuff.

 

The port side is weathered with oil paint, while the starboard isn't.

Some new updates.

 

Finished washing and some fading and filter effects, and added some leaking effects according to the ref pics.

Everything looks amazing, especially in 72nd scale but, those engine nozzles look too brown IMO. They should be more silver ( Alclad Duraluminum ) with a touch of gold ( Alclad Pale Burnt Metal ) mixed in.

What did you use as a color for exhaust color? It looks like old GSI Steel.... But I bought "steel" before few days and now looks much different then before... (is without this "brown" shade)...

 

Thank you.
