F-16 Posted December 26, 2019 Share Posted December 26, 2019 (edited) Here is my recently finished 1/48 Monogram A-4F Blue Angels. Here's what I added... Resin cockpit and seat. Steel Beach resin intake covers. Removed the small ECM "bumps" on the nose ans tail. Added the para-brake housing from a Hasegawa kit. Scratch-built the flaps in the lowered position using plastic sheet and an extra "fairing" from a Hasegawa kit. Quickboost resin refueling probe. Used the ladder tube from a Hasegawa kit True Details resin wheels. Used an old PE set from another Monogram "High Tech" kit. Decals from a Revell BA boxing. All silver areas are done with the Molotow Chrome paint marker. The model is painted with a brush. Hope you like it!

F-16 Posted December 26, 2019 Author Share Posted December 26, 2019 The cockpit was an old KMC one. I then used one of Darrens SB seats . It has more detail than the KMC one. Scott CNJC-IPMS Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Dutch Posted January 26, 2020 Share Posted January 26, 2020 Scott, Pretty amazing finish for brush painting. Care to share your technique? Did you use the 4mm Molotow paint marker? All in all, a pretty amazing build. K/r, Dutch Quote Link to post Share on other sites
