Lightpainter Posted February 23, 2021 Share Posted February 23, 2021 This is a very interesting build I will follow since I have the same kit in my stash. Up until now it’s looking great! Cannot wait to see it painted! Out2gtcha 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IvanVasili Posted February 24, 2021 Share Posted February 24, 2021 You are doing a stellar job, the Skystreak looks fantastic. Looking forward to see it painted in its bright red. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JMcD Posted February 25, 2021 Share Posted February 25, 2021 Wow, what a build! I have bought two copies of this kit last year, I've started one but had to pause due to business travels. I am planning to paint the first one in white "142" with red wingtip tanks and the second one in red. Your "Crimson tube" will be a cracking one for sure, the landing gear well and the cockpit look great Violator1991 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
X15 Posted February 27, 2021 Author Share Posted February 27, 2021 (edited) Thank you very much to all for your comments !!! Really happy you enjoyed this building. This is the beginning of the paint and the first coat of the pink primer !! need to sand it, correct the default and again and again before the paint !! Smallest part need less attention cause the surface is nice.

JMcD Posted February 28, 2021 Share Posted February 28, 2021 That is becoming a real beauty. I like how the red exposes that fine riveting detail We should be thankful that the real aircraft was not pink by the way Violator1991 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JMcD Posted February 28, 2021 Share Posted February 28, 2021 Very nice. Sanding is no surprise when it comes to a resin kit and I take that as a part of the hobby. What matters is the result achieved after and your build is a top notch one. The landing gear doors are all red, as far as I know with the red Skystreak, but am I wrong to think that you are planning to paint the main gear wells with red as well, considering the pink primer? Are you sure they are not zinc-chromate? Violator1991 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes landing gear doors are all red on the 2 side and yes i will paint the main gear wells in zinc chromate, i will do that after the "red" paint !!
