Hello, Since I already have done the gloss coat with Mr Color clear and Mr leveling thinner, I proceeded to do panel lines with the Tamiya panel liner. The static in the model pulled some paint from the brush but I did not mind since I was going to do a general clean up with enamel thinner. Some how, the enamel cleaning did something to get rid of the static and before the kit decided to go ELO again, I did the flat coat with Hataka Matt. The gloss was done twice to make it very shiny.

Padubon Posted February 12, 2021 Author Share Posted February 12, 2021 I finally finish the ejection seat with the right color. Unfortunately, I also noticed that the rear bulkhead-ejection seat mount, is not painted grey but black, as it shows on a reference picture. I’ll fix it tonight. What a pain!

jenshb Posted February 12, 2021 Share Posted February 12, 2021 Like the effect of the "ghost footprint" of the underwing pylons. Must remember that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Padubon Posted February 13, 2021 Author Share Posted February 13, 2021 Finished! I enjoyed very much this build even though I was a bit outwitted near the end. Overall, it was fun to build my favorite Jet in my favorite scheme. Thank you for all comments, suggestions and advice.
