loftycomfort Posted April 23, 2007 Share Posted April 23, 2007 Looking good so far. What markings do you plan on doing? I'm also wrapping up my 1/32 A-7E with the Aires gear bays. It'll wear low vis desert storm paint scheme. I notice that you don't have the flaps installed yet. If you haven't test fitted them yet, I'd recommend you do that asap because I had troubles getting mine lowered after the wings were installed on the fuselage.

DenJuve Posted April 23, 2007 Author Share Posted April 23, 2007 Thx Terry, I testfitted the flaps and i know what you mean. The fit is.....well, what fit?? After some sanding, grinding and cursing it did get them to fit. I will install the flaps at the end of the build. So they don't get in the way with painting and weathering. For decals i'm going for a high vis vietnam era sceme of Victory Productions. I'm going for VFA-25. When it's finsihed it can sit next to my Acadamy F-18C with the VFA-25 low vis sceme.

loftycomfort Posted April 25, 2007 Share Posted April 25, 2007 Hi Eric, Looking good so far! What type of paint did you use? Do you plan on keeping it clean or give it a heavy dose of weathering? Some social commitments are keeping me from putting the finishing touches on my SLUFF. I'm hoping I can get the ordnance done this week and post pics. Thanks for sharing.

I'm using testor paint for the white and grey. For the green i think i will go with humbrol gloss. It will be weathered. But as how far i will take, i don't know yet. I have seen some photo's with extremely dirty birds on them from the Vietnam period. I think i will give it a go to recreate such a bird. And get those pics online sow i can get some inspiration for my bild :lol: Eric Quote Link to post Share on other sites
