Shawn M Posted February 13, 2018 Author Share Posted February 13, 2018 Thanks Tommy, seeing it all slicked up in metal color got me excited again. Yes there are some seam issues, yes I should have spent more time fitting the vac canopy to the fuselage radii, but damnit Im going to get this done! dmthamade, Big Texan, Alain Gadbois and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Texan Posted February 13, 2018 Share Posted February 13, 2018 Yep, this is a challenging kit in terms of fit and finish. I had one of these and had a lot of aftermarket stuff for it. But, I traded it! Got something that I liked better. A Revell F-4F kit. Shawn M 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shawn M Posted February 19, 2018 Author Share Posted February 19, 2018 after a 50:50 mix of vallejo silver and aluminum I sprayed thin layers of vallejo chrome over the underside to brighten up the metal work to match the images in the video. Since Im off today I will be starting the blue with Tamiya Transparent Blue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
