Solo Posted July 27, 2022 Author Share Posted July 27, 2022 Some small progress. I decided to repaint exhaust nozzles, so I started again. Also made more detailed canopy frame, and started painting missiles. Previous Silver from Gunze is just amazing surfacer. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Thadeus Posted July 31, 2022 Share Posted July 31, 2022 That is some nice work on the railings. But I think the triangle lock is a bit too forward. https://www.flickr.com/photos/12322531@N08/5162053934 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Solo Posted February 19 Author Share Posted February 19 I repainted exhaust nozzles once again, making some additional details, visible on real engines. Also added some stuff just after second pilot seat. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Geoff M Posted March 5 Share Posted March 5 Be Careful with those! They might blow up. They look real. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
crackerjazz Posted March 6 Share Posted March 6 Absolutely beautiful weathering! And gorgeous details on the canopy frame. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Solo Posted March 7 Author Share Posted March 7 Another step - canopy frame. I have added a lot of stuff plus Eduard's PEs. Frankly said it is more my idea how that place is looks like (the far end of frame), because there is lack of pictures of that place. So I have made it as it "could be". 🙂 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
A-10 LOADER Posted March 7 Share Posted March 7 Amazing work solo. Steve Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Thadeus Posted March 9 Share Posted March 9 Lovelly LJdam. Looks just like the real deal with the weathering. Aft cockpit work looks quite convincing too. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Solo Posted March 16 Author Share Posted March 16 Thanks guys. Now the landing gear. I added some details and now I am starting with painting. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Mr.Happy Posted March 19 Share Posted March 19 Wow ! This is some great progress and tweaks on this kit. Keep it up, Mr.Happy Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Solo Posted April 15 Author Share Posted April 15 The most challenging thing was the canopy. Or better: the canopy and the frame. It is fitted poorly, and I have added a lot of stuff there. Also there were cracked two canopies during build. That is the third one. And the last one, I hope. The landing gear and wheels are also ready to assemble. My Hornet will have moved flaps, so I have prepared ones. I have put the surfacer on it, so now there is time to move off all that scratches and other stuff. Panel lines also must be corrected.

RichB63 Posted April 16 Share Posted April 16 Coming together great! Again, I am super impressed by the canopy detail. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Solo Posted May 21 Author Share Posted May 21 Started with first camouflage colour. First preshading, then painting. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Solo Posted May 25 Author Share Posted May 25 Thank you guys. Next step: masking and preshading for second camouflage colour. It is really hard work, because camouflage layout on thet plane is just a nightmare. But I made it. Also I prepared few masks for all that markings and numberts. The most challenging to design and cutt out was head of Viking. But I managed it somehow. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Chaos07 Posted May 28 Share Posted May 28 I like the "negative" mask approach - painting on the fine detail as a base layer. Making masks is a new effort for me, and thus far it has been very rewarding. This technique may come in quite handy on a future build. Excellent work! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
