Wow that looks excellent. Talk about fast and clean! Cheers Bevan

Can't wait to sse some paint being flung around on this one Pete. I'm just amazed at how filthy most of these birds got, they look so cool when they're like that! Cheers Bevan

Too cool! Love the paint scheme. Cheers Bevan.

Just love the enthusiasm Peter. I'm making sure I jump on for the ride as this will be epic! Cheers Bevan.

Peter, apart from the obvious awesomeness you've displayed with your mossie build, are you planning on adding exhaust staining of some kind. Again.... hat off to you. Cheers Bevan.

That's way cool. Nice wear and tear. And yes, they are a nice easy kit. Excellent result. Cheers Bevan.

Hey Aaron, good topic and candidate for some punishing weathering treatment. I can feel some Haggo techniques coming on! Cheers Bevan

Very nice attention to detail mate. Must have been a pretty plain seat before the details! Bevan.

Kev, is the silver pencil water soluable? Should be able to wash it off with a cotton bud. Also you could try using coloured pencils for scratches, just choose tones that match the camo colours. It's a subtle detail that adds a lot of realism.......just saying. Cheers Bevan Ps very nice btw.

This is beatiful modelling, a credit to your skills. Cheers Bevan

Looking mighty impressive Matt. Looking forward to the end result. Cheers Bevan.

Hi Steve, I just can't stop looking at your fantastic and realistic paint and weathering. Your attention to detail is evident and having been in contact with the man who flew her makes it even more special. Congatulations on a very impressive result. Cheers Bevan

Weapons are in place......... She's pretty much done now just got to take some shots of her. Thanks for looking in cheers Bevan

Well that is just plain awesome. Love it. Cheers Bevan

Fan-bloody-tastic! Cheers Bevan

Looking forward to seeing what you do with this scheme. Great work so far. Cheers Bevan

Wow, that is really nice. Love it, great work on the camo. Cheers Bevan

Great work on the pit, it turned out awesome Cheers Bevan

Cheers Eric, it'll be there warts n all. Thanks Rom I'm really glad you like the Mig. Your paint is some of my inspiration.

G'day Zero77, Not sure where I got the idea for the sanding paper on the end of a piece of sprue but it really works a treat for very small repairs especially on already painted areas. As for the weight issue I put fishing lead sinkers in the fronts of each fuel tank and it solved the tail sitting issue but thanks for your suggestion none the less. I'm not sure what the liquid gravity stuff is though. Cheers Bevan

When installing the wing pylons I discovered that some of the holes needed to be filled and a couple drilled to accept the weapon load I chose. I fixed the holes with some plastic rod using super glue and snipped them off flush with my sprue cutters I sanded smooth with a piece of sprue with some 600 wet and dry super glued to the end and cut down to a smaller size to keep the repair as small as possible. And blew it back in. And with the pylons in place. Cheers and thanks for looking in Bevan

Nice save on the exhaust stains........not long to go now! Cheers Bevan

Now THAT'S a paint job! Not to mention the totally realistic weathering. Awesome job Rom. Cheers Bevan

Cheers Jim....Some weathering to the ordnance..... The fuel tanks received a stippling oil wash of black and burnt umber which is really hard to see. I then sealed with acrylic clear and started on the leaks out of the filling points. A thicker mix of the oil wash was used for this. Flat coat is Humbrol enamel flat coat. Sharp Derwent colour pencils were used for light scratches and Testors Aircraft Grey was used with a sponge for further detail. Prisma colour water colour pencils were used for the streaking of the fuel stains. I used Tamiya's "dark brown" enamel panel line colour for the missiles then flat coated with Humbrol flat coat. Not sure what to do with the exhaust area... bank it off .....paint black? Cheers Bevan

Well I guess someone has to build one! May as well be you! Coming along beaut. Cheers Bevan
