Mr b Posted September 4, 2017 Author Share Posted September 4, 2017 Cheers guys......I have since cleaned up the topside and started on the bottom side....then all the dark n metallic bits......public holidays tend to help....to get good progress....hehehe..... Martin....the probe is a resin bit....which was done by a local outfit ....long time back.....virtually impossible to find now.....it could be done open or closed.....but there is one in 1/48 with the decal la Mig sheet......now a more basic rendition in only closed position...

viperfixer Posted September 4, 2017 Share Posted September 4, 2017 Looking great! Is it possible to show a picture from the front so the air intakes are visible? Haven't seen any images of them yet from this kit and I'm pretty curious about their shape and angle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Joel_W Posted September 5, 2017 Share Posted September 5, 2017 Bryan, The Topside looks great. I really like how the pre-shading just barely comes through the green. Just enough so that one doesn't see a discernable pattern. Well done. Very well done. Joel Mr b 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
