Beautiful model Don - the weathering is very subtle and looks spot-on! :thumbsup:

Didn't want to overdo the weathering, something i usually end up doing. Wanted it to be a used aircraft, not a derelict.

Looks great!!

 

How did you painted the handels from the  ejection seats?

 

The ejection loops were masked and painted. Painted them black first, then masked with IIRC 1?mm masking tape from Jammy Dog. IIRC 8-9 stripes per loop, airbrushed with yellow, just enough to cover. Looks better than trying to get a solid bright yellow here, as most pics i see show these to be grimy. I've tried hand brush painting these, using decal strips, twisted lengths of yellow and black sprue...mask and painting gets the best results for me. A little "fun" applying the tape, but results are worth it for me. HTH
