Good news: I got some detail painting done on the pit.

Wow, that looks sharp. A little baffling though that the seat doesn't fit. It looked like it was ok in the first few pics you posted. Was anything added within the cockpit that intruded in to the seat's space? Looking' forward to seein' how you rectify it.

 

Cheers,

Wolf

Thought I'd play with this a bit this evening, here's the new fairing for intake shock cone, the first one was off by a country mile. Tested and fits like a charm. Just some final sanding, and it's good to go.

I slopped some dark gray/dirty brown on pit items to give a more "lived in" look. Port panel is upside down in this photo.

Crikey that's good painting mate!

Thanks Kev. I still haven't tried out my new Iwata, so I'm rather anxious to get this one zipped up. Interestingly, the two Afghani schemes depicted in this thread don't match up, so I'll have to do a bit of research to see what's most likely.

I love what you have done so far. :speak_cool: I wish I could paint like that. :BANGHEAD2: I think painting can either make or break a well built model. Keep up the great work and keep us posted. Looking forward to seeing the finished product.

Oh and sometimes when I see the work here, I do not feel worthy to be around such great builds. :bow:

OK, I made a vow to myself that this entire weekend (modeling wise), will be devoted exclusively to this project. To that end, here's the beginning of the base; my typical 3/4" plywood with iron on walnut veneer.

First coat of linseed oil applied; the walnut absorbed it like a sponge. I used to use urethane on my bases, but switched to linseed oil a few years back; much more natural looking, (to me anyway).

Well I thought this sleeve fit properly on the shock cone, but apparently not. Nothing a swipe of putty can't fix though.

A little green patina added to exhaust area; I'll also be adding some dark gray to give it some personality.

Apparently, I had completely run out of mat board :( ,so a trip to Michael's was in order today. Area to represent concrete has been cut, and expansion joints drawn heavy with a ball point pen. Now we paint! Oh boy, I just love painting. :)

And with some paint slopped on, I'm prepared to call it finished. What say you fellas? Too "airbrushy"?
