lockheed2004 Posted January 22, 2021 Share Posted January 22, 2021 This is the 1/48 Kinetic kit along with markings from Caracal for the 432nd WG based at Creech AFB. Kit goes together quite nicely. It does require quite a bit of weight in the front end to keep from being a tail sitter. The engine bay is void of detail, so I made a set of covers from putty. The gear bay is also empty, so I boxed that structure in. Loadout is GBU-12s from the kit and a set of GBU-38s from Shawn Hull. The Hellfires in the kit don’t include enough decals to mark them properly. Paint is MRP on the top and bottom, Model Master enamel for the turret, MMP for the landing gear. Scalecolors pigments were used for the fuel cap streaking. Tamiya PLW to give it some depth. I found this was removed better using mineral spirits than the recommended X-20A. Finished with a flat coat of GX-113. The turret has a piece of holographic vinyl on it. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
