2019/20: OOB build of the vintage '07 Revell 1/48 kit.
2
March 26, 2021
Initial stages of build. This kit was bought from eBay with no box - hopefully it's all there!
3
March 26, 2021
Gluing, clamping, forcing, coaxing, etc...
4
March 26, 2021
Hand painting detail to cockpit and wheel well - loosely based on reality. I just added colour and highlighted elements so it wasn't all green or red!
5
March 26, 2021
Endeavouring to add some tonal variations to inside of exhaust nozzles and detail to cockpit and wheel bays.
6
March 26, 2021
Cockpit and engine exhausts - I could have spent much time making correcting the nozzles - but choose not to.
7
March 26, 2021
Wheel wells, airbrakes etc all done.
8
March 26, 2021
Cockpit more-or-less done. This is all loosely correct(ish).
9
March 26, 2021
Adding detail back in on raised panel lines where I had to sand as fit was poor.
10
March 26, 2021
I should also have paid more attention to the swivelling missile rack - as mine didn't fit and the spindles that come with the kit are a joke. Going to try and make good with metal rods.
11
March 26, 2021
Panel lines shadows.
12
March 26, 2021
Now it's blended.
13
March 26, 2021
I decided in the end to hand paint over the top of exhausts. You can see some of the tonal variations in the grey, poor lighting doesn't help.
14
March 26, 2021
Very happy with rear exhaust effect I achieved, maybe a bit medieval but looks cool! I ended up ruining the fuselage formation lights, but more of that later on...
15
March 26, 2021
16
March 26, 2021
Humbrol Weathering wash - I'm not a fan of this stuff, but I bought it as it was cheap from a local store.
17
March 26, 2021
Decals weren't great - struggled somewhat to get them to sit flat and pull tight regardless of Microsol use.
18
March 26, 2021
Pretty happy with these details.
19
March 26, 2021
I choose to mask canopy - I usually hand paint. No expensive masking kits here!
20
March 26, 2021
Almost there, adding in finishing touches...
21
March 26, 2021
And we're done! 🙂

Thanks everso Gary ? I'm a bit heavy handed on the weathering I know and of course the colour/decals are wrong! But I learnt a lot on this build in terms of metallic effects and such. Appreciate your kind feedback ? well chuffed!

Album info

Hi there,

Thanks for stopping by to view my latest build #13 the F101-B Voodoo.

I build straight 'out-of-the-box' endeavouring to show the build journey in as few photographs as possible - this is my reason for utilising montage imagery to help reduce the image count of an album.

This build was uploaded on the 26th August 2021.

I hope that the you find my build journey informative and helpful.
