themongoose Posted December 16, 2018 Author Share Posted December 16, 2018 Time to relax for the evening. Feeling pretty good about this. The plane itself is done! Cockpit is unmasked, I can finally get those glamour shots the pilot wanted before i closed it up for painting. I used AK Interactive pigments and fixer for the walkways. This was so much less involved then some of the other methods i read about. Ptrcolored and it has texture to it like the antislip surface. tomorrow and onday i will end up doing the painting and decals for all the ordnance, looking forward to that. It’s getting pretty heavy, may have to get a steel rod instead of plastic. Will have to see if my balance point worked out or not for the final decision. blackbetty, Out2gtcha and MikeC 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
themongoose Posted December 18, 2018 Author Share Posted December 18, 2018 Finished her up in time for our club meeting. Wonderful night for sure. Here are a few pics on display. Will get some nice shots with my sons camera and macro lens later in the week for the RFI post. Still running high on the coffee i had in order to make the 3-1/2 hour drive home tonight so thought posting some pics would be good to wind down on. The base is all sandpaper made to match Shaikh Isa AB in Bahrain where these fighters flew from.

MikeC Posted December 30, 2018 Share Posted December 30, 2018 Nicely done, that's quite a project. Wonder why I missed seeing it until now? Still, better late than never! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
