Hi Mates! Started today with my F-100D Trumpeter kit...I am very happy with the PE-parts from Eduard, as they add a lot of detail to the cockpit! Cheers, Christian

One of my all time favorite Jets! Nice start with the cockpit, well I'm in!

Great looking cockpit. I'm a fan of Eduards precolored PE-parts for this section. They looks very well and save a lot of work.

Very clean work on the pe´s! Whats your way of applying the ca on the pe´s? Needle? Tough´n´flow? Toothpick?
This cockpit is 10/10!

Hallo Holger, ich verwende dafür einen Gel-Superkleber, den ich sehr gering dosiert entweder gleich auf das PE oder auf das Plastikteil auftrage. Bei ganz kniffligen Fuzzi-Teilen verwende ich in der Tat die Spitze meiner Feile zum Kleber-Auftrag. Ist wie bei allem, reine Übungssache. Und vielen Dank für dein tolles Feedback! LG

Update...I think this one will be a fast build...applied black coat all over, before the second layer in silver comes up.

Bei Modelpedia sollte bei "Schleudersitz" der Link zu dem Bild 2 und 3 hinterlegt werden🙂

Der Schleudersitz alleine ist schon absolut top ... WAHNSINN!!!
Bin gespannt auf den Rest ...

First impression of the painted main fuselage and the rear turbine-section...next step will be a nice layer of glossy clear varnish...

Sehr vielversprechend!! Ich schließe mich der Anregung von Michael an. Sehr viele Maschinen hatten insbesondere hinten blaue und violette Verfärbungen. Schau mal im "allwissenden" www, vielleicht findest du deine geplante Maschine.
Hier ein Link zu einem Vogel mit bläulichem Verfärbungen.

Dear both, thank you for the hint ..i also have seen such effects in the web and thought about creating this also on my sabre...unfortunately i do not have alcad colours available. Do you think it could work with Revell clear red and clear blue? Would you mix both colours or would you apply it separately Dach layer? Thanks for your advise!

Hi Christian,
I have some experience with both brands, Acrylic Clear Colours as well as Alclad. Don't mix'em. Since there are very transparent colours, you will receive smooth transitions and colour variations.
Indeed it is important to work with properly diluted colours. You will need several layers, but this circumstance is highly recommended to receive your desired solution.
The best choice as a base coat is e.g. Aluminium with a further slight hint of Tamiya X-31 scalemates.com/colors/color.php?id=453, actually to these places you will apply the blue and violett colours, as you has done.
Greetz Dirk
BTW, a very nice model so far.

Jou! Clear blue and red, much better in my opinion than coloured alclad.

Hi Bernhard,
the blue, red and violett "Hotmetal" colours of Alclad are perfect transluscent and very runny. I've made no bad expieriences with these brand.

Dirk: O yeah, that right; I've forgotten that Alclad offers transparent paints🙂
Unfortunately no own experience with them🙁

Thank you all! I will try to do my best with my revell transparent colours...cheers and wish cross your fingers for me!

Hej, noch eine Idee. Als ich vor keine Ahnung wie vielen Jahren meine MiG-29 aufm Tisch hatte, habe ich mit stark verdünnter Ölfarbe und Pinsel gearbeitet. Basis war meine Hausmischung aus je 1/3 testors Metalizer, MrMetall von Gunze und Sealer von Testors). Gegenüber einer Airbrush ließ sich das Ergebnis genauer steuern. Hier und da war ich nicht zufrieden und konnte mit Humbrolverdünner und Qtipp die Farbe partiell wegwischen.

Christian, thank you very much, very good reference! This is one picture I didnt found in the www 😉;
Bernhard, vielen Dank für den Tip, ich werde mich mal mit Revell ran wagen...mal sehen was dabei rauskommt 😉

Mates, I did it...and I am happy with the result...just mixed Revell Aqua Clear Blue and Clear Red together to get a violett...thin it very very well...and I brushed it, as Bernhard suggested, with a brush...several layers. At the End I painted very small stripes of clear red and mixed it at the modell with the violett...the effect is great, I hope you can see it on the pictures well!

Dear michael, i will leave it as it is for the.moment...in reality it is really looking blue, violett and red, in the photo it Is not visible properly...i want not to overdue it...with clear coat i guess the effect will be a little more.
29 August 2014, 09:54
![](/profiles/img/10638-s.jpg)
Hmmm, all I can see is, there are a lot of blue and violett tints on both original pictures?!

Nice effect and result! May you can add some more effects with the weathering.

The most difficult part of the painting is (well) done...
Now have fun with the other steps!

Update! I did some more paintings and the decal-job...as the decals from the box are not great in numbers, I feeled free to add some warning- and caution-markings from my rest-box...next step will be the weathering with my washes...Cheers!

Thank you all for your kind feedback guys! As the weather is still bad in Salzburg this summer, I spent all yesterday for my F-100...Now she is almost finished, only external fuel tanks and loadouts are still missing. I decided to give her a glossy finish also over the decals. When the external loadouts are ready, I will try to make some better photos, hopefully in the sun 😉 Hope you like my work, Cheers, Christian
