jmreed76 Posted August 20, 2015 Author Share Posted August 20, 2015 Thanks a lot guys for the comments! Peter, I know what you mean...really looking foward to splashing some paint on! Still need to address some minor issues first though, when I put the panels on behind the radome, I didn't get the desired fit that I was hoping for, I had to blend and rescribe along the way and as a result, Some of the detail was lost. Bryan "DurangoKid" informed me that UMM makes a tool that will help adding in the lost detail...may order it and give it a try? Notice the small circles that were lost...please excuse dinner on the stove....Haha! Also, I have an area to address on the LEF. When glueing the Flap on I guess I went a little crazy with Tamiya Extra thin! As a result I didn't get a clean seam between the LEF hinge fingers. I think I can sort it all out! I still need to polish out a canopy and paint up the pilot but I believe I'm on the downhill slide now!...More to come!

Durangokid Posted August 20, 2015 Share Posted August 20, 2015 Looks like you are on your way to another fantastic build Mike. She is looking great and I can't wait to see some paint. I used your primer idea and man did it turn out nice, thanks buddy! Bryan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jmreed76 Posted August 23, 2015 Author Share Posted August 23, 2015 Started on the pilot today, Helmet painted and overall glossed I have a small squadron patch that I'm going to try to place on his right shoulder then he will be ready for a wash followed by a flat coat. After the pilot has been sprayed with a flat, I'll go in with Prisma Color pencils and pick out more detail. Thanks for looking! andromeda673 and Girlscanplay2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
