Aigore Posted May 15, 2022 Author Share Posted May 15, 2022 Oh, Sunday...who knew! Here is an update. Prime time! Time to take care of the less fun aspect of modelling, sanding and rescribing! Luckily there isn't much putty to sand away but still... Sanded around the nose to make it fit better, really only the place it needs help. A wee bit on the LERX as well. With the sanding done it's time to rescribe... I use my usual tools. The trickiest place was the slanted nose cone seam but with some Dymo tape I had it done. Had to add the little triangle thingy on infront of the nose cone....sanded it off. Well now I'm happy as I can be without seeing for sure... Time to mask all ..cavities. I'm impressed by the fit of the landing bay doors....they just pop into place and stay there. Done with the masking and ready for primer! Well, I can't find any glaring mistakes so far... perhaps I will find something after polishing the primer Cheers!

Neo Posted May 16, 2022 Share Posted May 16, 2022 Great progress. One thing i have to ask, ive been using dymo tape for scribing for a while now but im starting to wonder if im using the wrong type!! This is the one i use, no ways i can make curves like the nose. Is this the wrong one? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aigore Posted May 20, 2022 Author Share Posted May 20, 2022 Ah Friday again...time for an update. Paint!!! Yes we have paint! I painted the underside with MRPs Ukraine light blue OH almost forgot the wingtip launchers. I have some slight bettering to do later. Next I masked for the upper colours.....well the base colour at least Then I painted all with lovely Ukrainian blue from MRP. NOw I'll let it cure for a bit before I start on the digital scheme. Oh You may have noticed that I haven't done any preshading...well to tell the truth, the Ukraine Flanker are so freshly painted and well kept that I can't bring myself to do a weathered and scruffy one.

Aigore Posted May 22, 2022 Author Share Posted May 22, 2022 The Sunday update is here. Bluer... Time to start on the cammo.... I had the blue down... Now it´s time to mask for the dark blue. Oh boy...that wasn't fun...I must say that I prefer kabuki masks...vnyl masks don't really want to lie down or conform so we shall see how this turns out. Paint! And unmasking.... I have some overspray but that's no worries and there are spots where the mask lifted...oh well ...but on the whole, not too shabby! I will do the vertical stabs separately ...right now I'm beat Cheers! Rockie Yarwood, LSP_Kevin, johncrow and 7 others 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aigore Posted May 27, 2022 Author Share Posted May 27, 2022 A miniscule Friday update. A little more painting. Time to deal with the vertical stabs now. Not much to say...masked and painted Comming together nicely Done with the dark blue next I'll do the gray. Cheers!

Aigore Posted May 29, 2022 Author Share Posted May 29, 2022 The Sunday Update. Yup, still at it.... Now it's time for the gray... So I started with those despicable vinyl masks and masked for the gray. After an hour of masking 2 minutes of painting... Et Voilat... well that works....some overspray but I can polish that off. Then I did the horizontal stabs too... Now for a breather...I'll do the vertical stabs the next time.
