Squizzy 78 Posted October 6, 2017 Share Posted October 6, 2017 Great to see this beast finished, but now that it's finished, one of my favourite build threads has ended, I hope that you start something else soon. Great job. F`s are my favs 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
F`s are my favs Posted October 6, 2017 Author Share Posted October 6, 2017 Thx Squizzy! Yeah, it was quite a journey this build, and there is still plenty of things to do... The paint coat dried completely and deeply, and it`s deffinitely ready fot weathering. So i plan to post updates on the weathering topic, as well as on the "decoration" of the base. But when - perhaps not any time soon, cause this monster is so awesome-looking like it is right now - clean and shiny. ) And i still can`t get used to this scale. While working the parts, they looked enormous, huuuge, gigantic. Now when the model is assembled - it looks to me like an ordinary model and for example the cockpit and the nose bays don`t look so enormous like before. However, in a closeup view - i can lose myself around the dimensions of this plane. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
F`s are my favs Posted August 4, 2018 Author Share Posted August 4, 2018 (edited) Well, i don't have quite much to say about the previous pics.... but it's finaly weathered and i took some while it's still fresh after the weathering. This is after an overal salt treatment; a very light postshading and imitation of streaks with OPs; some very very subtle pin-wash mostly along the moveable "parts"; and a very very light coat of satin gloss over a few/separate panels; and after some sponge dabbing to create larger wethered ares. Here is it, in flying mod. Btw i'll post only a couple pics here and the most in the first post so that there are still some visible pics on the first page. Enjoy guys! Thx check out the first page/first post for more... Edited August 4, 2018 by F`s are my favs Rocat 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

aircommando130 Posted August 4, 2018 Share Posted August 4, 2018 WOW! That's awesome! I like inflight displays...in it's environment with the crew or pilot doing what they love! There's two inflight displays I'd really like to do. The X-15 landing just off the dry lake bed at Edwards with and F-104 chase plane flying wingman with it and a 48th B-24D in the smoke and fire over the Ploesti oil fields 1 AUG 1943. Oh...and an F-4 Phantom just taking off and the gear coming up...OK...three I'd like to do! Cheers....Ron F`s are my favs 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The X-15 landing I have actually seen. My dad was stationed there when I was younger and he took us out to the flight line to watch it return.
