Gelerth Posted May 4, 2020 Share Posted May 4, 2020 (edited) A lot of time passed since my last post here, I promise I'll try to be more active. Since my MiG-23, I finished 4 birds, I'll present one of them here, next will post in a few days. My Nighthawk was made almost Out of the box, I've changed only wheels for Eduard ones. Base was inspired by last flight box by Academy. Biggest problem was with exhaust painting, I did some research, but it is so hard to find a decent photos, so it is my vision of exhaust. Watch and comment - and please, be gentle. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

Citadelgrad Posted May 4, 2020 Share Posted May 4, 2020 For a "plain black" bird, you captured the subtle tonal and other variations, it's very pleasing to the eye. Very nice finishing skills. I would be proud to be able to replicate it, but I am a chimp. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

aircommando130 Posted May 4, 2020 Share Posted May 4, 2020 Wow...that's awesome! The black to gray and the base is very well done! Love the "Shaba" as the Iraqi's called it during Desert Storm. There's still 4 of them flying in the Nevada desert with Lockheed pilots (ex Air Force) last I heard. Awesome job...great airplane! Cheers Ron!

Gelerth Posted May 5, 2020 Author Share Posted May 5, 2020 BIG thanks to all of you - it was the hardest plane to paint. I was wondering all the time, it is ok, it is enough? Should I add some something else, or more. I'm really happy that you like it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dennismcc Posted May 11, 2020 Share Posted May 11, 2020 That looks great, as others have said you have nailed the not so black finish, I would have probably messed it up ! Cheers Dennis Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
