Mistral Posted May 3, 2021 Author Share Posted May 3, 2021 Thanks Kev and BlackB. I really appreciate the positive sentiments. Thanks Marcel. Always good to know that someone else likes the finish. I'm very critical of my own work and was a bit concerned that the wash would not work out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I really like the improvements to the gear legs and the canopy framing - very cleverly done. Thanks Sean Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I may ask, who is Theo and where did he see this ? He may have been at a Jix model evening but I don't know all the guys. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mistral Posted May 3, 2021 Author Share Posted May 3, 2021 And now it's finally on it's legs. The odd thing with this camo is that the sweeping up of the buff on the port side just aft of the nose antiglare panel makes the nose look like it's pointing away form the camera. I've checked : it's straight.... Now to complete the canopy masking and paint that, add the interior bits and bobs (seats, joysticks, rearview mirrors, canopy actuator arms and blast screen for the rear cockpit), the JL-100s, drag chute cap, pitot probe and exhaust and its done.

Mistral Posted May 10, 2021 Author Share Posted May 10, 2021 OK, another one done. Like I said in the build sequence above, I've kept it clean as they were in a gloss finish and well maintained by the SAAF : Had to lighten these two to show the undersides. The blue in the photo is a bit too turquoise ..... Madmax, alain11, blackbetty and 2 others 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
