    Well that BITES! So odd that only some the decals react to the Future. Do you thin the Future with anything or use it straight from the bottle? I too use Future over the decals and have never experienced what you are. Maybe try brushing on the Future over the decals? Mike

    Thanks everyone for the kind words. Made some progress the last couple of days. I've painted and decaled the missiles and painted the pylons: And I've applied several coats of future: I'll let the gloss coat dry for a couple of days before starting the decaling process. Thanks for checking in. Mike

    SCAT is wearing its colors! Was able to get the greens laid down on the build: I have a few touch-ups I still need to do, and once those are done, I'll let it dry for several days before applying the gloss coat. Next up will be wrapping up the armament and pylons. Making head way! Mike

    Teresa, Catching back up with your build. Great job on the wheel well surgery. Cutting/grinding up a perfectly good piece of plastic is something I haven't got the courage for yet..... Your painted wheel wells look fantastic! Looking forward to more of your build! Mike

    Hello Paul, Just catching up with your build and it's looking fantastic! I really like those masks used for the tail markings, and Look of the tail section with the burnt metal. Very nicely done! Sorry I missed you guys at the show. Life has a knack of rearing it's head when it wants too....... Look forward to the rest of your build. Mike

    Hello All, Yes, this build still lives! Life got in the way for a while and bumped the build to the back burner. Now that I have some free time again, I've started back up with painting the beast. I laid down a coat of Tamiya primer: I painted the nose flat black and masked it off then painted the bottom with Gunze H311 Camouflage Grey. I masked off the wheel wells and painted them with Tamiya white primer, love this stuff great coverage with a single coat: Then started on the topside. I laid down some test patches of the colors I plan to use: Gunze H303 Green, Gunze H309 Dark Green and a Gunze mixture for the tan. I'll definitely have some touching up to do as I add the other colors, still working on the mastering of the freehand camo painting. It's a fine balance between paint consistency and air pressure! More to come as I ramp back up on this build. Thanks for checking in. Mike

    Loic, Outstanding level of detailing you're accomplishing on your build, really impressive work! Enjoying the journey of this build. Mike

    A minor update on the build. Time at the bench has been scarce this past week, but I was able to work on the main landing gear and the weapons. I'm happy how these turned out: I didn't like the look of the kit's sidewinders. I wanted the look of a 9B, so I tried to relocate the forward fins. But I ended up botching the effort. Fortunately, I was able to secure some sidewinders from a Trumpeter F-100 kit, and I spliced their front end to the body of the Tamiya sidewinders: I also assembled the sparrows. I'll be working on the front landing gear this week, and after seeing Harv's effort, I may need to try my hand at detailing! Thanks for looking in on my build, Mike

    Back at the bench must mean your on the tail end of the bug you've had! Your build is coming along nicely Paul. Looking forward to seeing the pieces come together. I have this kit's kid brother in the stash, but I'm enjoying this LSP stuff that I may need to get this kit too! Mike

    Sorry to hear about the disaster Ade. Mike

    Hello All, A quick update on my build. I was able to get a few hours at the work bench over the weekend, and I've attached the intakes and wings. I've read some builders have had fit issues with the intakes and the wing/fuselage seam, but I had none. I also put down the base color for the tail section. I'll finish up the rest of the coloration once I've wrapped up the SEA paint job. This model is BIG! It's the largest I've built to date. I had to rearrange my bench because I was knocking things over plus banging it into the bench lamps! Thanks for checking in, Mike
