Thank you very much!!!, today I finished the flaps, in the end I put them in the full flaps position, I have glued the nozzles, but I have to sand a part because the loctite left me "lumps" when it dried, and again I have to retouch, I also touched up the radar cone, I leave you some small progress.

Thank you very much, today I was finishing the small details and I have solved the decals, now they touch the flaps, I am about to set them at 20 degrees, how would you set them? tips?

today I have made a little progress with the decals, and I think the varnish has reacted with Mr Mark Setter, but well... tomorrow I will fix it by sanding a little, today I have made the preview of how the langing gear will look assembled, I have painted the decals and it is time to definitively finish the last details such as the radar cone, sand the side decal, and start with the flaps and the small details such as the antennas, sensors and the weaponry

Today I made some progress on the landing gears and the bay doors and I also had to retouch the radar cone.

Tomorrow I will touch up the front landing gear, I have screwed it up a little because of me, sometimes my level of stupidity reaches unimaginable levels

Today I finished assembling the landing gear, and I primed it with the Tamiya metal primer, the Tamiya metal primer is obviously for metals but it also works for plastic, it does not affect the plastic and is ideal for pieces that combine plastic and metal as in this one case the landing gear or similar, but always use plastic primer when there are obviously no metal parts

Thank you very much, today I made the wing pylons and the central pylon, tomorrow I will start the flaps, I think I will set the flaps to 30º or full flaps, I don't know yet

hi Alf!! I painted the rear rings of the exhaust in Alclad steel, and the mouthpieces are Mix Alclad dark aluminum, copper and gold, then I didn't like the result because that mixture is more suitable for the f16 or F14 and I made the mix with dark aluminum and jet exhaust and a little cooper and then dust with mr hobby black soot

Thank you!!, as for the flaps, when the time comes I will see what position I put them in, I think I will put them at 30º I don't know, I will see what I do when the time comes, today I have made small progress with the arresting hook and the the wing and central pylons.

Well guys, as I said before, I have retouched the anti-slip pads, although it may not seem like it, now they are smooth and not grainy, and also with the oils it will improve, I also put some photos of the cabin and the preview of the ejector seats so you can see How will they look (I have to finish the ejector seats)

Hello guys, yesterday when I realized about the non-slip from your comments, today I put it back and I'm going to sand it well to make it smooth to scale, regarding the flaps in this kit they are a little irregular (it's a kit thing), for example on my f18 superhornet from meng 1:48 I left them at full flaps because the cockpit was in cool and dark (I had to leave it because I accidentally broke the flaps due to a bad blow and I'm still waiting for the parts to arrive spare), but in this hornet the electronics are turned on. @chuck540z3Yes, I had a very fruitful and interesting conversation with @ALF18 :-) Guys, thank you very much for your advice, I leave you again today's photo of the anti-slip (I put it again) and some photos of my F18 superhornet that has been temporarily abandoned. Today: my abandoned F 18 super hornet

Hi Chuck!!! Thank you very much for your kind words, the problem with the sanding is that I have already glossy varnished the entire plane, basically to protect the entire plane and tomorrow I will start putting the decals, then I will continue with the flaps (I don't know whether to do them in full or with less degrees of inclination) then the landing gear and then the small details What I have noticed is the HUd, it is slightly inclined to the left, I think I will have to force the front canopy to open....

For my part it is finished, I have painted black on top with a very small amount of white, although to tell the truth the oil paints will go on top later, what do you think? be honest

Today I used the Mig Jimenez anti-slip, I personally highly recommend it, although it says that it is for 1:72 and 1:48 scales, it also works for 1:32 without a problem, and it is very easy to use, with a frayed sponge and apply it ,It's super easy

Thank you very much, today I used the masking tape to apply the mig jimenez anti slip and then paint
