ziggyfoos Posted September 26, 2018 Share Posted September 26, 2018 Excellent progress, really looking forward to seeing the whole finished set up with the A-6/A-7 combo. (you may want to remove that red speed brake warning decal on the fuselage, not applicable for that time, they weren't being used as brakes anymore) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
themongoose Posted September 26, 2018 Share Posted September 26, 2018 Absolutely superb. Wonderful amount of attention to detail. Hope I can get the weathering down half as good as you (gonna use that belly tank you sent me as a model!) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

red Dog Posted September 30, 2018 Author Share Posted September 30, 2018 Thank you guys, much appreciated. Excellent advice Ziggy. I overlooked that obvious bit - it's now corrected thanks to you. Many thanks I spent the whole weekend working towards the goal of closing the canopy So first thing was finishing painting the pilots in their desert storm suits and mating them to the seats Looks like VA-35 pilots had these chocolate chips flight suits Worked a bit more on their office, And step them inside: Then tidying up some wires, gluing Hud glass, handles, mirrors and correcting a few touch of paint here and there and I'll be ready to close 524 up scvrobeson, Marcel111, johncrow and 12 others 15 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

red Dog Posted October 14, 2018 Author Share Posted October 14, 2018 (edited) Last run before the finish line The top surfaces were not as weathered as the under fuselage white and getting some grey paint for corrosion control on the top fuselage was way too subtle to my liking, so I needed some more smoke paint. Out came again the scratching effect and the tamiya smoke colour, but not before a safeguard alclad gloss coat The tamiya smoke was scratched with the old brush or various sponges to vary the effects. it's very visible on the picture , more sublte on the model (due to contrast at post production) Then the base grey was applied again as corrosion control The inner intakes were weathered by the same technique, and I destroyed the homemade decal red corner doing so ! And the fuselage behing the cockpit as well, albeit with more corrosion control subtle touch ups All 4 wing bags are attached and the heavy D-704 as well. That extra weight really doesn't help the supporting pole. The model ended up very heavy Final shot for today is the canopy. It's always a great achievment when the masking tape are removed from the canopy and you discover the crew inside. It's one of these special moment, usually marking the end of the project ... But before calling it done, I have to do some engineering on the stand for the 2 models - and get my distances right And of course scratching that drogue ...

Eagle Driver Posted October 15, 2018 Share Posted October 15, 2018 Wicked! I love it! Maybe you can tell us more about that scratching technique that you use? I know how it works actually and I am interested why you picked that specific one for aircraft modeling. red Dog 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LSP_Ray Posted October 15, 2018 Share Posted October 15, 2018 I missed this one until now! Outstanding! This is going to be an outstanding display. Love the weathering! red Dog 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
