spyrosjzmichos Posted February 11, 2017 Author Share Posted February 11, 2017 (edited) Hi all! Not a huge update this time. I did some final weathering with oils and pigments from Ammo, AK Interactive as well as colour pencils with mixed results. The oil and fuel leaks worked well as well as their oil brushes. The latter I used for the first time and was quite please how nicely the worked as filters on the camo. However, the rain marks and colour pencils look overdone. Will need more practise with these. I also did some work on smaller components like the pitot tube, avionics covers and their actuator rods, undercarriage and their covers and HUD display. Unfortunately, while removing the masking tape from the canopy I noticed cracks on all parts probably after putting too much pressure on them during painting. I immediately placed an order for spares from Italeri so hope to have these soon. I have now started working on other components like the the maintenance stairs and RBF tags. I guess the model is almost done! Thanks for checking! Edited February 11, 2017 by spyrosjzmichos MikeA and F`s are my favs 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

F`s are my favs Posted February 11, 2017 Share Posted February 11, 2017 Me too! Very nice outlook with these soft colors! What you mean about "cracks on all parts" - on the clear parts themselves for the canopy, or cracks of the paint near the cockpit frame? Man, this is something beyond the bad luck and the Murphy`s law, since the dropped F-15... If it`s the canopy - maybe a vacuum-formed canopy is a good idea. Or if there is a one-piece canopy in the kit (for a closed canopy option), you may still split it for the open canopy opt. spyrosjzmichos 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, the clear part between the canopy frames is cracked so it's beyond repair. At least Italeri has a spare parts service so no crisis there. Only problem is Italeri doesn't post to Dubai so had to place the order for my home country, Greece. Hopefully I'll be able to pick it up in two to three weeks. Talk about Murphy's law indeed....

MikeA Posted February 11, 2017 Share Posted February 11, 2017 Great work on the colour variation. I especially like the underneath with the different tones that have come through. Very nice! Sad about the canopy but if you can get a new one then all good. Cheers, Mike spyrosjzmichos 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
