It doesn't have a pitot on the nose yet and the AB petals will be close to the location of the end of the masking. My bench is 48" wide and ~24" deep. My paint booth is ~24" wide and about ~16" in front of the filter. Off to paint some Tan. Dave Out2gtcha and MARU5137 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Out2gtcha Posted January 14 Share Posted January 14 Very much like trying to paint my SU-33. I ended at having to remove the hood to be able to paint it. Looking forward to paint! MARU5137 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MARU5137 Posted January 27 Share Posted January 27 Certainly is a GORGEOUS beast of a thing. IMPRESSIVE build/workmanship so far. Michael931080 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dragon Posted January 31 Share Posted January 31 Nice work on and painting of your build. Your build is tempting me to get my F-105F build of the SOD and complete it. MARU5137 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John1 Posted February 13 Share Posted February 13 Love the SEA paintwork. I'm (slowly) doing the same thing for my F-4C build. How did you handle the edges? Masks or just free hand? It looks awesome. BTW - any updates? MARU5137 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aircommando130 Posted February 13 Share Posted February 13 Nothing like hearing a 105 take the runway and light that after burner with water injection and go! The "sound of freedom" baby! Cheers...Ron MARU5137 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Masks or just free hand? It looks awesome. BTW - any updates? The line between the gray underside and the top was taped. The lines between the colors on the top were just free hand and a little going back to touch up. It is thinned Vallejo paints through a H&S Infinity with 0.15 needle at 10.5 psi.

denders Posted February 26 Author Share Posted February 26 Working on decals, frustrating. I'm using the kit decals and anything that is printed in multiple colors and somewhat larger are very fragile. I've already used national markings from an old sheet bought a long time ago for two of the three that I've put on. I haven't put the one on the bottom wing yet. I'll have to mask off and paint the right-side tail stripe because that one just shattered while trying to put it on. MARU5137 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
