Ivan T. Posted October 22, 2006 Author Share Posted October 22, 2006 (edited) This mourning a I get to thin down the landing doors, and add some masking tape to the inside part so it can have "something"... :P. All landing doors will get the same treatment. Here the "guys" that will companion my F-5A, the pilot is from the old monogram F-4 1/72, and the crew is from the ESCI's Mirage F1, this version of the Mirage includes some ground crew, so I stole one Don't know if the pilot is correct, considering it came from a NAVY plane... <_<, but.....I like it Ivan Edited October 22, 2006 by Ivan T.

Ivan T. Posted October 23, 2006 Author Share Posted October 23, 2006 4th color done, same treatment as the others, you can slightly see the patchy look. Its time to let the paints dry so they can recieve the Future coat. Ivan Quote Link to post Share on other sites
David Walker Posted October 24, 2006 Share Posted October 24, 2006 The camo is looking really good. Nice work. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Ivan T. Posted October 25, 2006 Author Share Posted October 25, 2006 Future coat applied, decals applied, but the Solvaset (Walthers) and the Future when mix, they make some white spots, maybe is the glue in the decals. But not to worry, another coat of Future corrects this situation. Pics of the issue. Ivan Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Ivan T. Posted October 25, 2006 Author Share Posted October 25, 2006 Future applied to the decals, and problem solved :lol: opinions? criticisms? :) Ivan Quote Link to post Share on other sites

mmaker Posted October 25, 2006 Share Posted October 25, 2006 (edited) WOW! Simply great all over work! Edit: On the upper left intake,is the putty broken? Edited October 25, 2006 by mmaker Quote Link to post Share on other sites
aidy Posted October 25, 2006 Share Posted October 25, 2006 (edited) Looks great, Ivan, especially considering that you built the airfix kit. Edited October 25, 2006 by aidy Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Grey Ghost 531 Posted October 25, 2006 Share Posted October 25, 2006 WOW!Simply great all over work! Edit: On the upper left intake,is the putty broken? :D I think that's the Future white spotting he mentioned. Another coat of Future will make them disappear. I wish I could free-hand camoflage that well! I guess I should practice more. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Ivan T. Posted October 25, 2006 Author Share Posted October 25, 2006 Thank you guys! :D Edit: On the upper left intake,is the putty broken? :lol: Is not broken :lol: , the top side is part of a panel line, and in the joint with the wing, is just reflection of the glossy finish.

Ivan T. Posted October 26, 2006 Author Share Posted October 26, 2006 Dullcote applied, and some paint chipping. Next pictures will be with all the accessories installed. Ivan Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Jay Chladek Posted October 27, 2006 Share Posted October 27, 2006 WOW! :blink: That looks DANGED impressive there. To me, this is probably the finest example that you don't necessarily need the best kit out there to do a great model. I can see that you've put a lot of love into that model and I think the results speak for themselves. I've always loved the F-5 and seeing this model makes me love it even more.

Ivan T. Posted October 27, 2006 Author Share Posted October 27, 2006 Jay Chladek, as you said "...you don't necessarily need the best kit out there to do a great model...", as you can see, still is a long way for me from been a good modeler , also compensate I'm not able to spend the kind of $$ on a Hasegawa, tamiya, etc Thank you very much for your comment Ivan Quote Link to post Share on other sites
