CaptainErik Posted July 19, 2005 Share Posted July 19, 2005 Hello guys, hope that I can still meet the deadline so here's my entry : Revell 1/48 F-5E with twobobs sheet (thanks to Dave Roof for ultimately supplying me that sheet), basically OOB, but I've spent some fair amount of work to rescribe it. Basic assembly and cleanup finished : Painting starts with preshading : Quote Link to post Share on other sites
CaptainErik Posted July 19, 2005 Author Share Posted July 19, 2005 (edited) Here I'm starting to paint the sand color, I used Humbrol 71 oak (satin) for start, then some white added to the mix to get some variation. Hope to be back soon Edited July 19, 2005 by CaptainErik Quote Link to post Share on other sites

CaptainErik Posted July 21, 2005 Author Share Posted July 21, 2005 (edited) Now the brown section where masked off with blu-tack (time consuming and messy work) and I used Humbrol dark earth 29 for initial outlining : Then I added Humbrol leather 62 to the dark earth 29 and filled in the spots : Edited July 22, 2005 by CaptainErik Quote Link to post Share on other sites

CaptainErik Posted July 22, 2005 Author Share Posted July 22, 2005 are you build it as a in flight model? nice work No no, the geardoors and airbrakes are just fixed for painting the camo, they are glued with a bit of liquid mask/maskol, will come off easy again Quote Link to post Share on other sites
CaptainErik Posted August 1, 2005 Author Share Posted August 1, 2005 I just finished the decals : Quote Link to post Share on other sites
masterqq Posted August 2, 2005 Share Posted August 2, 2005 Wow... getting even batter now, how much more to go? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Bugfan Posted August 2, 2005 Share Posted August 2, 2005 CaptainEric, WOW, that looks good!!! Keep on posting the updates, youve done a nice job so far!!! My 2 cents, Jack aka BUGFAN Quote Link to post Share on other sites
CaptainErik Posted August 2, 2005 Author Share Posted August 2, 2005 how much more to go? All the small stuff, lights, wingtips, exhaust, weathering ... How did you get it rescribed so fast? Rescribing started already in march, that took a long time together with filling and sanding everything smooth, when I finally found the decals I entered it here. I can't believe someone who sais he rescribed a kit in an afternoon, too much work for me, it takes me a month :blink: Thanks all Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Sebastijan Posted August 2, 2005 Share Posted August 2, 2005 Great looking Tiger! Can't wait to see it finished! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
CaptainErik Posted August 15, 2005 Author Share Posted August 15, 2005 I did the panels with an oil wash, put the landing gear on, exhaust area painted, wingtips and droptank : Next I will put on the ACMI pod and then flat a coat, and then finally the canopy & lights Quote Link to post Share on other sites

CaptainErik Posted August 21, 2005 Author Share Posted August 21, 2005 Finished : I left off the pitot tube and the fuel filler caps might need to be painted red, I'll do that later on together with adding some RBF tags. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
