    CZPetrP reacted to Zola25 in 1/32 - MiG-29S (9-13) - Ukraine Air Force - Digital Camo   
    Hi All
     
    This is the 1/32 Trumpeter MiG-29C built as a Ukrainian Air Force MiG-29S (9-13). It is loaded for a CAS mission inspired by a photograph I found online.
     
    It is impossible not to feel the impact of a war in Europe, in what feels like my own backyard - and like so many on these forums I also felt the urge to show my support.
    I tried to incorporate as much aftermarket stuff produced in Ukraine as I could. The Rocket Pods and Wheels are from ResKit. The paint masks are both from Foxbot and DN Models. The seat is from Quickboost and the pitot tube to replace the telegraph pole included in the kit is from Master. The exhausts are from Zacto model.
    The decals are a story of their own - I screwed up the first paintjob using the Foxbot masks I already had so I had to start over  While waiting for the brand new released masking set to arrive from DN Models, Foxbot also announced a brand new set of decals for a digital camo MiG-29. I wrote Oleg from Foxbot if I could somehow get a set and he happily sent me one straight from Kyiv in the middle of an active warzone. That kinda makes this model special for me..
     
    I painted the model entirely using paints from MRP - the second time also in the right order . Below in order from Dark to Light:
     
    MRP-034 Tank Grey (MRP-405 seems to be too light for the MiG-29)
    MRP-403 Grey
    MRP-402 Light Grey
    MRP-246 Light Arctic Grey
     
    The underside is painted with MRP 405 Blue Grey
     
    Hope you like it

    The following photos are of my recently completed build of the 1/32 Special Hobby Hawker Tempest Mk. V "Hi-Tech2" kit. This edition includes a bunch of resin and photoetch enhancements, most notably a very detailed resin depiction of the Napier Sabre engine. I also added the Eduard photoetch brass flaps and used HGW dry transfer for the data stencils.  All of the other markings were painted using custom cut masks.  The aircraft depicted is JJ+F flown by David C. Fairbanks, an American credited with 15 kills, 14 of which were flying the Tempest.

    CZPetrP reacted to Hoss FL in 1/32 Tamiya P-51D - The Millie G   
    My rendition of Major Edward Giller's "The Millie G" is now complete. This was by far my most involved project with extra detailing for the engine, cockpit, landing gear bays and the MG bays. Here's a link to the build thread in the Works in Progress section: https://forum.largescaleplanes.com/index.php?/topic/92956-132-tamiya-p-51d-15-na-mustang-the-millie-g/ Thanks for all the comments and suggestions during the build.
     
    In summary, here were the aftermarket additions to the kit: 
     
    Barracuda cockpit upgrade Barracuda instrument panel Barracuda cockpit sidewalls HGW seatbelts Eduard guy bay kit (late) Barracuda P-51D tires Eduard P-51 exterior detail kit Barracuda decals + placards Eduard canopy masks Eduard engine detail kit  
    The main paints used were Mr. Color lacquers.
     
    Now for the final photos. All of the main markings were painted except the stars and bars and tactical lettering, which were decals. The stencils from the Barracuda decals were used instead of the kit stencils. 

     
    The ailerons and elevators were glued in place. The rudder and flaps are movable and do a pretty good job of staying in place. 

     
    The Eduard gun bay doors is an excellent upgrade over the kit doors. The ammo belts are from the Tamiya kit. 

     
    The engine covers are all removable and fit reasonably well with Tamiya's magnet system. The starboard panel just under the exhaust is a little fiddly. 

     
    The weathering was a combination of oils, airbrushed Tamiya acrylics (heavily thinned) used for local effects and with sponge chipping and spatter templates. Colored pencils and pastels were also used for various effects. 

     
    Mr. Color GX100 was used for gloss coats and GX114 for flat coats. Great stuff. 

     
    I used Mr. Color C330 RAF Dark Green for the fuselage. 

     
    And a slightly darker version for the nose checks and spinner green. The NMF paints are Mr. Color Super Metallics. 

     
    The checks on the nose were painted. 

     
    The drop tank fuel and pressure lines were created from 0.5mm wire. I kept the weathering on the drop tanks relatively light since often they were single use items. All of the fastener holes in the engine panel frames were drilled out. 

     
    Light colored oils were used on the NMF surfaces to depict varying amounts of oxidation on the panels. 

     
    Eduard's engine upgrade contains PE hose clamps for all of the main hoses and piping in the engine. They are a pain to attach and paint but look pretty snappy when complete. Also, the edges of the gunsight glass were painted Tamiya clear green to simulate the look of the thick glass plate. 

     
    The aluminum paint on the wings was rendered with a combination of the Mr. Color Silver and light gray. Mr. Surfacer was used to fill the rivets and panel lines on the forward 40% of the wings. 

     
    Grime and wear was depicted using a combination of Tamiya acrylics, oil paints and colored pencils. Some wear is down to the primer and some is down to the base metal. The primer toward the back of the wing is ZCY and the primer toward the front is dark gray putty colored, based on the construction process. 

     
    The Eduard gun bay doors really add a lot compared to the kit doors. 

     
    The Eduard doors come with a hinge at the bottom of the door for gluing it permanently in place. I wanted to be able to remove them, so I made tabs similar to the kit doors and glued them onto the Eduard doors. I also added a support rod made out of 0.3mm wire. 

     
    I really like the iconic 343 FS, 55th FG markings. 

     
    Chipping around the panels and doors was done with acrylic paints and colored pencils. 

     
    The cockpit detail from the Barracuda kit is quite good (details are on the build thread). One note was that I changed the wiring from the radio box behind the pilot seat because the cable harness would interfere with the canopy support bracket. So I converted to a strand of speaker wire and painted it black. 

     
    Thanks for following along!  Comments and critiques are more than welcome. 

     
    Thanks again.

    I received the Special Hobby Grand Giveaway promotion kit late last year. And the build has been underway for six month's.
    I wanted to build something small to get me back in the ´saddle´ again, in fact I think it's the smallest kit in scale 1/32?
     

     
    It has been quite the journey, in the beginning I struggled a lot, and I had to take some breaks from modelling, waiting for some recuperation.
    But the last month  I'm starting to feel like my self again. I am able to spend whole days at the bench now! Luckily I have almost no long term
    effect from my brain damage, other than some speaking difficulties and that will absolutely not deter me from modelling.
     

     
    The subject has been the A.186 of one Toné Hippolyte Paul Bayetto, of which there are some great photo's on IWM.

    The build: Many 'upgrades and a lot of scratched details, too many! But it involved a completely rebuild cockpit and an engine out of the spares box etc.
     

     

     

     

     

     
    A Tommy's war officers figurine has been adapted to look like 'Hippolyte'.
     
    It did the trick, and I'm up and running again

    Hi All
     
    This is the Academy 1/32 F/A-18C from the Kinetic boxing. Its been on my bench on/off for quite some time but I have managed to finish it. There are no decals in 1/32 for this aircraft that I fell in love with so I had to make paint masks for most of them, using what I could find as templates. Some stencils I could source from various aftermarket sheets but the black/orange combination is not easy to find.
    Its a really great kit and I am glad that Academy have re-released it again in the shape of the F/A-18A+ kit (it has all the parts for the C version). The lines of the legacy Hornets are just more appealing than the Super Hornet to my eyes..
     
    It has the Aires Wheel bays and bombs are from Wolfpack. The Sidewinders are from Zacto models (it had to be the best for a Sidewinders bird )
     
    Hope you like it.

    CZPetrP reacted to Zola25 in 1/32 F-16C (Tamiya) - Venom - Viper Demo Team   
    Hi All
     
    This is the Tamiya 1/32 F-16C in the colors of the VENOM - Viper Demo Team. I don´t often do demo schemes but this one was just too good to pass up 
     
    I used quite a few extra bits;
    Aires Wheelbay + additional wiring Aires Exhaust Quinta Studios Cockpit Kopecky LAU 129 wingtip rails Model Maker Decal & Paint Mask set Bandit Resin Factory Travel Pod  
    The Aires Wheelbay is a drop-in fit and essential for any F-16 build in my opinion. Its inexpensive and is almost an exact replica of the real thing. Just amazing!
    I wanted to try out the Quinta Studios Cockpit resin decals. At first I was a bit underwhelmed as with the colored PE. Looks good in pictures but...mjah. The trick is to give it a layer of flat varnish. It just changes everything and enhances all the details. Makes it look very realistic. Judge for yourselves - I combined it with a few details of my own and some careful brush painting.
    As the Venom Demo Viper never flies with anything on the wingtips, the new empty LAU-129 Rails from Kopecky Models came out at just the right time - The detail just blew my mind - take a look at his stuff - its just incredible.
    The Paint Mask set is really nice. I was very concerned that the emblem on the tail would curl up on itself but it turned out to be very rigid and could even be moved around just holding it with a pair of pliers. It just looks really cool painted on. The decals are extremely thin and prone to curling in on themselves though - I had to order a second set to finish the build 
     
    Take a look - Hope you like it (If you click the images they will open in a bigger version)

    hi gents
    well , since I was a kid , I am a " phan " of the F 4 ( especially the long nose version) I like its "square shoulders " and its "bad guy look " .Today , here is my last build , the D version of the Texas ANG wearing  this "sinister " peint scheme , which adds something more to its rough look 
    some add on , and a bit of scratch builds namely: into the cockpit : the old Verlinden cockpit set , "Red fox Ip , and consoles , and "Aires" seats , I scratched build the two rear bulkheads by adding wires and cables etc...... the exhaust nozzles are from " Reskit " , the decals from " techmod " ... A bit of wires and cables into the wheel bays .... 
    I think , I have been a bit shy about the weathering , despite of photos showing faded peint , or " odd " spots on the fuselage , but too bad !!! ...It's not perfect , maybe the fin flag is too high but .......    
    as I usually  say : enjoy ...or not ...thanks for looking
