Cicciuzzo Posted June 9, 2021 Author Share Posted June 9, 2021 Good afternoon guys. Today I painted the bottom of the fuselage. In the end, among the various shades of white, gray and brown, the black was covered for 80% so the white FS17875 covered the surface very well. Several shades have disappeared but I imagined it even if in some areas I let them glimpse. Photographing the white color with the mobile phone is very difficult but from the images I would say that it's fine. Tonight I complete the other accessories and then I pass a nice microfiber cloth to "clean" it from lint and tomorrow I spray the gray of the upper part. Well friends, see you at the next update ... and thanks for your prayers! johncrow, John1, Derek B and 12 others 15 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cicciuzzo Posted June 16, 2021 Author Share Posted June 16, 2021 Good morning friends of LSP. Yesterday I gave the 36440 gray color on the top. The effect obtained seems to me excellent even if I still intend to intervene. It was not easy to align the anti-reflective part but with a little patience I managed to balance the lines. The next intervention is the metal area. Thank you alain11, stusbke, scvrobeson and 11 others 14 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scvrobeson Posted June 17, 2021 Share Posted June 17, 2021 Great progress. Getting those anti-glare panels equal has to be one of the hardest challenges in modeling. Matt Cicciuzzo and Anthony in NZ 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cicciuzzo Posted June 17, 2021 Author Share Posted June 17, 2021 Good morning picciotti; so great is the beast so long is the road. Meanwhile yesterday, after making yet another stock of modeling material, I sprayed some "smoke" on the underside here and there for the model. Retouching, various additions and final washes aside, the work is starting to get interesting! I hope you enjoy the work done so far Anthony in NZ, alain11, johncrow and 7 others 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Getting those anti-glare panels equal has to be one of the hardest challenges in modeling. Matt You're right Matt. The difficulty was to "align" the two lines of the left and right anti-reflection panel and to make them match perfectly at the tip of the radome without being "misaligned" Thanks scvrobeson and Anthony in NZ 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
