I have the 1/48 kit and it is superb! I am tempted to color mid-blue with Fantastic Four emblems. 😉

That looks fantastic, Gabor- cheers!

Great post, Gabor- many thanks!

There is a pull ring in my Silentair Frankenstein-custom from Coast Airbrush. Sometimes the machine locks up and I pull (hard!) to release it and it vents pressure. After cooling it starts back up.

You can sand artists' pastel sticks of any color to make a great panel wash with water and a bit of soap. Apply to a gloss or satin finish, let dry and wipe away the excess- no fuss! Use the straight dry pigment over a matte finish to apply streaks, etc.

Use a sprue cutter to nip away at the attachment points, then tidy up with sanding sticks and scriber.

Nice job- looks great. 😎

Directly from Eduard. Got the extra decals for pre-ordering, plus a Secret Bonus. I'll never tell! 😄

My pre-order kit came yesterday.

Good for Eduard!!

Wow- that's some amazing layering right there!

That's beautiful- congrats!

Magnificent in every way. Those engines, the wheel wells, camo and markings- it's entirely enviable! Thanks for posting the process- I've picked up some tips- cheers!

I got up close and personal with 132's "Pride of the Fleet" scheme at NAS Whidbey Island's open house 2 years back. PM if you want pics.
