LSP_Ron Posted June 15, 2018 Share Posted June 15, 2018 Normally I'd think that is over weathered and I'd keep quiet about it. But it's not!!! well done capturing that molted finish the Tomcat used to get. Cheers A-10LOADER 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Troy Molitor Posted June 17, 2018 Share Posted June 17, 2018 I'll jump in Here as well. Simply inspirational to see come together Fanch. Start to finish it's been most enjoyable to read about. The weathering is sensational to look at. Please keep the pictures coming and thank you for sharing this with us.

Madmax Posted June 17, 2018 Share Posted June 17, 2018 Your technique is very clever Fanch! It has already been coined the "Fancherello Technique" by others using it to liven up their Navy builds. I am certainly inspired to try it... Sean Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fancherello Posted July 15, 2018 Author Share Posted July 15, 2018 (edited) hello Time for an update. I haven't been able to bring much consistent update due to some time lost sorting out landing gear size issues. I'll tell more about this later on, i now need replacement wheels to move forward on this. As I'm waiting for my wheels, I've been working on the GBU-12's and exhausts. These are Eduard Brassin GBU's with navy coating added, made of MrSurfacer 500. My trusty crapy Ikea flat brush was perfect to work the texturing with lacquer thinner. I've been adding some wiring and RBF tags, thanks to one of our kind members advice ( still need one more RBF and pin, though ) And work on the exhaust. Daco shows an excellent picture of a VF-103 Tomcat in the end of its service, perfect match with my topic. No Black and White look but rather some sort of grimey grey green with a few petals having some sort of sandy hue. A good opportunity to have a bit of unusual. and after a fine brush work with oil paint and AK washes: best regards !
