insane detailing. a work or art. it is almost a pity to paint it. but will be certainly be a stunner when finished!

Thanks for your comment, Spanjaard!
To be honest - I feel much more comfort with construction, than with painting and weathering.
I thought of finding a fellow modeler, who has the opposite preference, but I'm not quite sure how we can manage the sharing of a finished model 😉
9 March 2017, 11:45
![](/profiles/img/21096-573-s.jpg)
yes, the operational part my work, but keeping them would be a delicate operation! unless you do two of each kind of course 😉

It's good to be back- where I left 7 years ago.
Hopefully my mojo lasts to finish this Shelf Queen...

Hi friends, thank you for your kind comments and welcome !
Work done on the exhaust, several tints used to get the dirty filthy metal look on the feathers.
I received a very nice package from Japan, hypersonic products are really top of the breed, the clean top tail is a drop fit.
The Martin baker H5 seats are looking tremendous, almost a shame to hide them with a sitting crew.
Cheers

Hi gentlemen,
Work on the hot end, and the stand.
Stand was finally done doing a circle of surfacer sanded mirror (I wish it really was..) painted it black. Then I glued over plastic parts cut and painted for the skull. all in all it's better looking (imo) than an all painted logo as there is some 3d relief on the bone parts.
The hot end was done using lot of metal shades, masks, and sponge rubing, finished with a layer of tamiya panel liner.
Cheers.

Hey guys ! Thank you Spanjaard, Daniel & Whiteglint for your kind words! Appreciated.
I have some long overdue progress to post. In the form of a crew, all happy with their new orange suits and adequately decorated helmets.
Helmet decals were sent to me by a fine Canadian gentleman that had them in extra from the academy J boxing. I can't be gratefull enough as these are the most visible bits under the big closed canopy.
A few more work on the seats, stencils & joining straps, and the cockpit will be finished.
Cheers

Hi fellow scalematers. An update finally.
Here is the result of 2 days of strike at work. With no access to the office, another desk took priority.
First step with no pictures was to fill and sand smooth the last uneven spots remaining.
Then a final coat of alu to reveal the next final uneven spots, and so on until there was none left.
Marbling is done with Rlm66, excuse the choice but it's a good dark grey tone.
Then navy white is sprayed in fine passes until the white looks uneven, but not too much..
The next day same process is done on the upper side with the navy grey.
Then the fun is beginning with the mask application and the start of the marking spraying.
Next session is due soon.
Cheers

Hey Roland, thank you mate ! Glad you like it!
Some kind of an update with eduard's stencils application. I put them on the traditional way, with only the micro-sol (blue one, at least I'm sure of the colour)
Then I peeled the film with scalpel to lift it up and tweezers. The remnants of the film glue were cleaned up with a q-tip imbibed with mineral spirit. Be careful on this last step as rubbing too hard will also wear down and ultimately makes disappear the decal ink. It's interesting for weathering purpose but must be handled with care.
Next up are the wings stencils.
Cheers

A few motivational pictures to keep the mojo level for the last steps.
I need to finish the missiles and tank. There is a few decals to add as well.

I am not a natiph Phantom phan, but I really do like your build. Comin´ along very nicely. In flight? You´re my man! 🙂

![](/profiles/img/42212-306-s.jpg)
Hi guys, thank you for the encouragements Sergej & Michael!
@Sergej, il will try to keep it slightly shiny, like it is now, think I will have to varnish it as the weathering is add a bare flat finish where it is applied.
@Michael, i was not a Phantom phanatic either, but the love for the type grows as the build goes on. In flight is my compulsary display for 1/48 models. Cheers

Mathieu,
Beautiful model! Your gear door scratch build are labeled #1-7. Are those one try after another till you were satisfied? Seems like we're missing the final photos on this masterpiece. Most of us will never achieve this level of craftsmanship.

![](/profiles/img/42212-306-s.jpg)
Hi Paul, Yes 7 Tries. I could have gone with a few more, but elected to manually crafte the little areas needing care for a good fit.
I have to report this build is still lying unfinished on top of a shelf. I am a bit lazy doing the missiles and tanks.
Now that I see the date on the pictures (2 years ago!!) I'll probably kick my ass and finish this up.
Cheers.

I didn't know what to build next after Bandai's B-Wing was completed. So I let fate decide. Do I already regret it? I'm not sure. After reading some build logs on the internet my list of improvements and corrections is quite long. But then again - I'm sure it'll all work out 🙂 In any case this will be different from the Bandai kit which required nearly no putty and took me merely a month to build.
6 February 2021, 10:13
![](/profiles/img/27826-126-s.jpg)
Curious and original way to choose the next kit. I'm sure the resulting model will be very good.
Following!
6 February 2021, 19:03
![](/profiles/img/10003-571-s.jpg)
Thanks for all your interest!
@JD: Who knows. Perhaps's I'll use this method for choosing the next kit again in the future. The Star Destroyer is still "in the pod" 🙂
@Oliver Zwiener: Yes, kind of! I've already built Revell's new tool Gannet AS Mk.4 and Trumpeter's T.Mk.5. The AEW.3 will now complete my Gannet collection.
By the way, my fiancée said "That's a cute plane, and it has a propeller" when she saw Sword's box art. Well, there is somethign to it. With a bit of imagination the Gannet could be one of Pixar's "Planes" characters...
14 February 2021, 09:38
![](/profiles/img/10003-571-s.jpg)
Thanks for your interest!
I didn't know "Jimbo and the Jetset" before but youtube is your friend. So, yes, I can also picture the Gannet in that show 😄
By the way, for full disclosure: I'm more or less following what this guy did with his Gannet: obscureco.wordpress...egory/fairey-gannet/
Or at least I'll try.
20 February 2021, 09:49
![](/profiles/img/72708-240-s.jpg)
Da schau ich dem Experten mal über die Schulter, was er aus einer Gannet zaubert, vielleicht versuche ich dann die von Revell doch mal zu bauen..
28 February 2021, 09:20
![](/profiles/img/10003-571-s.jpg)
Hallo Dietmar! Die Revell Gannet ließ sich ganz gut bauen, soweit ich mich erinnern kann.
Some more progress in the last couple of weeks. The fuselage is now closed. Despite some very careful dry fitting the seams will need some filling and sanding. But nothing too bad. Next I'll ad some detailwork to the main landing gear wells.
13 March 2021, 09:53
![](/profiles/img/12266-435-s.jpg)
Phew, I am not the only one using a random numbers generator to choose my next project 😄 😄

Kabelbinder und Klemmen - super - auf die Idee bin ich bisher noch nicht gekommen !
14 March 2021, 08:50
![](/profiles/img/10003-571-s.jpg)
Thanks, Ricardo!
@Alexander: Yes, perhaps I'll choose the next project like this again. It certainly adds some excitement to the hobby 😄
@Oliver: Kabelbinder nutze ich gern für ovale Formen wie Flugzeugrümpfe. Und wenn man den kleinen Pin im "Schloss" der Kabelbinder nach oben drückt, kann man sie wieder öffnen und erneut verwenden.

Welcome, David!
During the last week I spent some more time on wheel bay details and the exhausts. Building this kit is really time consuming, at least when I compare it with the "shake'n bake" Bandai B-Wing kit that I've built before this one.
21 March 2021, 20:45
![](/profiles/img/23842-243-s.jpg)
I'd love to build this in 1:48 but since the only one was a unicorn-like resin kit I'll happily watch your build 🙂 Looks like you've made a fine start!
21 March 2021, 20:53
![](/profiles/img/10003-571-s.jpg)
Thanks, Nathan! I'm glad you like what you're seeing!
Over the last couple of days I finished the wheel bays and glued the wings together. Today I spent the morning working on the landing and position lights in the wings. For the landing lights there are in fact some transparent parts in the kit. The position lights need to be added from scratch. I really like how it turned out 🙂
3 April 2021, 12:03
![](/profiles/img/29367-876-s.jpg)
All your attention to detail is turning this into a fine build indeed, Bernd! 👍

![](/profiles/img/54810-266-s.jpg)
Been awhile since i saw one of these, they flew out of Lossiemouth when it was a naval base can't remember its name just now, I'm sure there was one as a gate guard as well, will watch with interest looking good so far

![](/profiles/img/10003-571-s.jpg)

@Simontie: You're lucky! I'm not sure if I every saw a Gannet AEW.3 in person at all.
4 April 2021, 07:52
![](/profiles/img/12802-523-s.jpg)
Nice work on the lights! I´m sad that I have to wait until March 2022 to see the model...
4 April 2021, 09:02
![](/profiles/img/10003-571-s.jpg)
Thanks David and Nathan! @David: Yes, I'm also looking forward to meet again in person some time!
The Gannet project is slowly coming along. All wings are now attached which required quite a bit of sanding.
10 April 2021, 13:13
![](/profiles/img/10003-571-s.jpg)
Thanks Cuajete! In the meantime I finished decal work. As some fellow modeller's have already noted the decals of this kit are very thin. So it's best to slide them from the paper directly onto the model surface. Otherwise they will curl up.
22 May 2021, 18:28
![](/profiles/img/10003-571-s.jpg)
Thanks Ricardo! There was a minor set back, though - when I confused ultra thin plastic cement with decal soft. Luckily the decal could be saved as described in the picture.
12 June 2021, 06:59
![](/profiles/img/10003-571-s.jpg)
Thanks Guy Rump! The finish line is now almost there. The build takes more time during these final steps as I discovered a few details just now which I still had to add - for example the fuel dump pipes coming out at the end of the pylons.
27 June 2021, 18:33
![](/profiles/img/10003-571-s.jpg)
Thanks Roland, Robert and Guy!
I managed to finish the kit this weekeend. Here are a few photos that I just took. In the end the build was quite demanding in some places, but now I'm quite happy with the result 🙂
Next I'll finish the Palouste Jet Air Starter Trolley and then I need to build a small display base to finish this project.
4 July 2021, 19:03
![](/profiles/img/23842-243-s.jpg)
That's a beautiful build Bernd. I'm really wishing for one of these in 1/48 now.
4 July 2021, 19:22

Beautiful work. JLTRT! An ugly prototype, but a long time favourite of mine. Really enjoyed following the build and eagerly anticipating the finale. 👍
4 July 2021, 22:00
![](/profiles/img/10003-571-s.jpg)
Thanks, fellow scalemates! Your feedback is much appreciated in these "model show-less" times - one way less to feed the modeler's ego 😉
Frankly I had already started on the Palouste some time ago. So here's already a photo of the finished mini-kit. Continuing with the display base now...

Es gibt verschiedene: Standard, Fine und Superfine. Superfine soll für 1:72 sein, aber das ist mir schon fast zu dünn. Ich glaube ich habe hier "Fine" genommen.

![](/profiles/img/10003-571-s.jpg)
Thanks, Christoph! I just realized that we haven't met in ages - I hope that will change next year when hobby shows will hopefully again take place.
I just added a few new "eye level" shots.
12 July 2021, 12:46
![](/profiles/img/35974-561-s.jpg)
Yes, it has been a long time since we last met. Let's hope that we can meet again soon at a show.
12 July 2021, 14:44
![](/profiles/img/10003-571-s.jpg)
Thanks Cuajete and Micky! Taking the in progress photos always helps me to keep up the motivation. Especially concerning extra detail work that is not out of the box.
13 July 2021, 18:53
![](/profiles/img/16661-726-s.jpg)
What an excellent result ! This would go for 1/48 without question 👍
19 July 2021, 17:52

I love this. I want to build this in 1/72 now that you've done it right for me to follow.
13 December 2023, 07:34
![](/profiles/img/10003-571-s.jpg)
Thank you MellOtt and Bernd for your comments! Despite being short run, Sword has become one of my favorite brands as they tend to kit subjects overlooked by others.
13 December 2023, 11:18
![](/profiles/img/13695-917-s.jpg)
It turned out really great. I have 2 of them in the stash. @ Nathan, your wish has come to pass, The Airfix 1/48 one looks great. I want one!
14 December 2023, 03:29
![](/profiles/img/10003-571-s.jpg)
Thanks Clifford and Guy! It is now more than two years since I completed the build..And the kit was purchased even longer ago. But I guess it has become topical again now that Sword has reissued the kit.
14 December 2023, 19:49
![](/profiles/img/18633-333-s.jpg)
That's an incredibly detailed build!
Can I ask what drill you used for the coper rod one wheel axle?
I have the drill buts but need the dremel/drill to use them.
1 June, 10:28
![](/profiles/img/10003-571-s.jpg)
Thank you for your kind comments.
It's just a regular no name micro hand drill. You can find different models online and they cost about eight Euros.
3 June, 21:00
![](/profiles/img/130395-735-s.jpg)
It may be an ugly duckling, but it makes a beautiful model. You did a fantastic job on it.
4 June, 01:57
![](/profiles/img/18052-335-s.jpg)
Very well done, the Gunnet looks superb👍. Also nice to see some pics of all the hidden details in the pit and wheel bays. Sword kits are always a lot of work, but as you show, they are worth it.
4 June, 07:52
![](/profiles/img/user-s.jpg)
Quite a few Gannets seen around here lately. Yours is as well a nice model of this ugly bird.
4 June, 16:36
![](/profiles/img/10003-571-s.jpg)
Thank you for pushing my old build to the top of the news feed 🙂 Over time I became a true Sword fan and have quite a few of their kits in my stash or on my wishlist.
However, since the birth of my twins roughly 1.5 years ago I haven't had any time to start another one…
4 June, 20:17
![](/profiles/img/18633-333-s.jpg)
Thanks for the info Bernd!
I have a few hobby drills but none fit my new drill bits and there simular to the ones you have.
Congrats on the top news feed build!

Looking at this, it makes me reconsider buying the GWH P-40 when I can buy this kit for $40. But then again, I don't have your skills. Beautiful model!
3 July, 10:33
![](/profiles/img/42212-306-s.jpg)
Thanks guys for bringing this one back. I took great pleasure all along, except for the rear window and tail integration. Lot of filling and sanding.
@Paul, GWH Hawk is light years ahead, I have two in the stash and consider starting one in the near future.
