Gisbod Posted July 31, 2019 Share Posted July 31, 2019 Hi Vynce, We seem to have parallel builds going on! Yours looks great, and shows you can make the kit belts look good too.. Guy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gisbod Posted July 31, 2019 Share Posted July 31, 2019 Ps which colour scheme are you going for? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vynce804 Posted July 31, 2019 Author Share Posted July 31, 2019 Hi Guy, I have been following your build as well, I’ve had the advantage of you being a few steps ahead! I was interested to see you had built the engine before painting. That is usually my preference but couldn’t see how I could make it work so am interested to see how you get on. colour schemes... good question! It’s probably going to be gloss sea blue and is likely to be an 808 sq FAA example as it has quite a bit of white to break up the blue. If I did a us navy version it would likely be a vf84 version. Whatever I choose the dark blue will be a real challenge!! Good look with your build. Cheers.

Gisbod Posted July 31, 2019 Share Posted July 31, 2019 Nice choices Vynce, I haven't built it yet, just all put together without glue to hopefully stop the build up of primer in places I didn’t want it. I’ll dismantle and paint the individual components shortly. Guy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Learstang Posted July 31, 2019 Share Posted July 31, 2019 Great schemes - I especially like that British one! She should look brilliant in either one. Regards, Jason Vynce804 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gisbod Posted July 31, 2019 Share Posted July 31, 2019 I think I’ll stick with a dark blue one.. might be a fun challenge! Haven't decided on a scheme yet though... Guy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chrish Posted July 31, 2019 Share Posted July 31, 2019 And I’m looking at all your builds as I work on mine...standing on the shoulders of those who’ve gone before me so to speak Vynce804 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CANicoll Posted July 31, 2019 Share Posted July 31, 2019 Really looks AMAZING!!!! Super nice work and the detail is terrific. LOVE the Airscale adds actually. Nice stuff that you did exceptional work with. That seat and belts are a work of art onto themselves... Not to mention the IP....and Cockpit.. and.......

ringleheim Posted July 31, 2019 Share Posted July 31, 2019 Your progress is fantastic, Matt! Keep it going! This is a really cool kit. Have you seen this scheme? I like what's going on with the vertical stabilizer and thought I'd see what you think.

ringleheim Posted August 6, 2019 Share Posted August 6, 2019 The engine looks fantastic. I also noticed in that last photo you can see some of the "oil canning" going on with the fuselage. Looks really good to my eye! Keep going! Vynce804 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
