crobinsonh Posted July 4, 2019 Share Posted July 4, 2019 Here are the final set of shots taken outside on a cloudy day. Glad this one is over - largely my own fault having dropped it and that fact that Trumpeter and the UK distributor off now spares parts service whatsoever (I tried several times with both and received no response). The kit had the very extensive Eduard series of sets, Aires cockpit, exhaust and wheel bays, Avionix cockpit etc There are a number of mistakes - small tanks, early exhaust when it should be the later one. I am sure there are a bunch more. I also noticed post photographing that I have knocked the fuse extenders so that are not all equally spread. I was pleased with the effect of reducing the pin cushion divots that Trumpeter wanted to pass as rivets. themongoose, Tony T, Marcel111 and 21 others 24 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Barry Posted July 4, 2019 Share Posted July 4, 2019 Very well done for an aged bird, used but not abused. Barry Jack 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marcel111 Posted July 4, 2019 Share Posted July 4, 2019 Beautiful, love the paint finish you achieved, so convincing. I hope you straighten the fuze extenders since the overall build is so good! Marcel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aircommando130 Posted July 4, 2019 Share Posted July 4, 2019 Wow! That looks nice! The pilot probably did a high G turn and bent the fuze extenders! LOL! Cheers...Ron Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gazzas Posted July 4, 2019 Share Posted July 4, 2019 That looks awesome! I'd been waiting for this to get done so I could see how the final weathering and paint came out. Looks faded and touched up like you see on so many Nam' photos. Love it! Gaz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AlbertD Posted July 6, 2019 Share Posted July 6, 2019 I love the jets from this era and the F100 is about my favorite. Yours looks fantastic. The camouflage and weathering look about perfect. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alain Gadbois Posted July 8, 2019 Share Posted July 8, 2019 You have achieved one of the most realistic wheathered paint finish I have seen! Great work! Alain Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crobinsonh Posted July 8, 2019 Author Share Posted July 8, 2019 Thank you very much for your kind comments. The paints where all Mr Color as they thin and spray beautifully and allow you to do lots of nice shading etc. I also used artist templates, sponge dabbed Mr Neo and very thin Mr Color tints to create multiple levels of colour plus repainted that you see on aged planes of this era. I am glad you think it worked out :-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
