Quick update as progress is quick (for a change!)

I've been applying some light weathering using Oil Brushers and Streaking effects, and mixing up the colours a bit just for variety.

Hopefully the effect is subtle but interesting. Rough idea is shown on these fuel tanks and pylons:

Probably can't see but I've also added the screw jacks for the tank braces.

Final Matt coat and we're almost there!

AMAZING! 

 

Wonderful work here Mr. B. 

 

Love everything but I am fixated on the heated metal and exhaust nozzles at the moment. You have captured the look so convincingly, I do not think I have seen better. Thanks for sharing, great to see!

Well it took the best part of 3 years but she's done! Bit of a journey I'll have to admit and some things worked out better than others (as ever!).

The Revell kit is good shape-wise but needs a lot of love to bring her to modern standards of plastic manufacturers, even then it ain't no Tamiya. 

My build QA requires a bit more Q I think but generally happy with the paint job and the fact the decals didn't silver. I probably made it far more work than it needed to be by introducing errors to my supposed improvements which then needed time and patience to correct. Certainly, a learning experience.

However, she's a blue candy cane F-15 and looks really cool!

The weapons and tanks are on magnets so are movable and for those wondering whether the lights still work.......

Oh yes.... well mostly!

If you stayed the course this far then you deserve a break as much as I do.

However, I will be back with something that hopefully requires a little, no, a lot less work.

Thanks for watching and all the feedback, greatly appreciated. 

I'll post some more images in the finished section at some point.

:)
