Guess I should pay more attention and read this site! Saw your new images on Flickr, then it clicked....go to LSP and see the whole thing! That red is sharp looking, Si. That's going to look really, really good once it's buttoned up. Looking forward to see it all come together.

Sorry to hear about the trip not happening, but glad you and your wife can rebook and go for round 2! Sounds like quite the trip you've planned.
Landing gear bay is looking sharp, Chuck. As always, looking forward to more.....maybe I should work on my Aires gear bays for my -105G

Looks really good to me as well. The gloss does make it look.....different, but I think once you get a matte coat on, that'll take it where it needs to go. Nice work!

Reaaaaaaaally like how this is coming across the finish line! Super work with the paint and the lines, that turned out great!
OT - my LHS had this kit for years sitting on the shelf, looked for it yesterday to see about making an offer....gone!

......The only fit issues I have are near the top of the cowling, so, I'll need to do a little filling there. ......
It wasn't just me! I had the same problem with my Birdcage.
Anywho....really nice looking build so far, loving the little extra details you've added. Looking forward to some paint! -
Wow, that's very cool! Love the finish.

Odd that the wheel bays aren't zinc chromate. I was a maintainer during Vietnam and cannot recall ever seeing internal structure painted gray. But I could be wrong, I just find it odd.
Hey Woody - that was a question I had too. From what I was finding online, the bays started in zinc chromate during production, but by the mid 60's, started being painted white, while the gear stayed silver. I wasn't able to find anything definitive to go with, but I didn't have zinc chromate in my paints..... so, I went white. It could be wrong

Dang, I shouldn’t look at these threads, makes me want to fold up the tent again. Outstanding
Fold up the tent? Your F-14 looks brilliant! -

Back from the dead! Or, well, I have more time now that summer is closing and I'm not renovating all of our landscaping! Not a big update, but sharing some progress.
I'm still trundling along with the Wild Weasel, and as usual, it's slow for me. Below is the Aires front wheel bay that I've been on working on the past week. Painted, detailed, washed and flat coated. Hopefully somewhat representing a F-105G and how dirty it may have been on deployment to Korat during Vietnam. After this, I should be ready to button it up in the fuselage, along with the cockpit and front half of the engine. The fun part, this probably won't ever be seen once the 105 is done and on it's wheels....but at least I'll have these shots to prove it!Thanks to Bulldog 09 over on ARC (not sure if you're here too) for the detail shots I found they had taken and posted
Feel free to critique.....macro shots are great for showing every flaw!

Looks great Woody! Don't worry about the fabric area being too light right now. Flat coat and salt weathering will knock back the contrast between the blues.
This, Woody. Saw your other posts asking for opinions; I agree with John.....it'll tie together as you get your weathering going!

That's looking really good, Woody. I'm a bit jealous, compared to my Corsair.

Very nice work, turned out great

exactly! These pictures document the detail.....and once it's done, the plane is never going upside down again!
