Ingmar StöhrSome progress after a longer pause caused by the job and some work in the garden. Nothing spectacular. put all the fuselage parts together, cleaned the seam line on the canopy, some dipping in Future, masking. Base paint on the missiles and the launch rails. She is almost ready for paint.

Patrick HagelsteinI hate to be the one to bring the bad news........but the scoop on the right side below the aft canopy should be facing back..... Sorry! It's a cooling vent and it vents avionics warmth into the airflow. Other than that: great progress! 👍

Ingmar Stöhr*facepalm* Thanks Patrick! I remember that I looked at my references to see if my version has this vent - only to mess up the direction. Well, should be easy to fix. I'm glad you noticed before I started to paint!

Patrick HagelsteinPfewww! Glad that I could warn you in time and glad you can easily fix it! 👍

Ingmar StöhrThe missiles received their colors as well as a pin wash. Started to apply the decals after a coat of Aqua Gloss. A lot of decals to cut and place! 28 for one single AIM-120C. This will keep me busy the next evenings.
Regarding the blue markings I reverted to some leftover decals from my Tamiya F-14D, as the Two Bobs decals are to dark for my taste.

Ingmar StöhrSmall update: All the base paint is on. At the moment layer of Aqua Gloss is drying in preparation for the decals.

Ingmar StöhrSmall update: The Viper got it's coat of Have Glass V and some areas in Medium Grey. At the moment a layer of Aqua Gloss is drying in preparation for the decals.

Nathan DempseyThis one looks good in the dark coloration. I like the markings as well.

Ingmar StöhrThank you guys! Glad you like it. This Habe Glass paint looks very interesting on the Viper, but it's very hard to capture its real look on camera. First decals went on very well. Micro Sol did it's job over night. It will take a some more evenings till all the decals are placed.

Bryn CrandellGreat progress. Agree the HAVE Glass is hard to represent well in photos.

Ingmar StöhrSmall update: All the walkway decals are on. Still a lot of tiny decals to add.

Konrad -Very nice Ingmar.
One question regarding the front antennas, how did you mask them? Only with tapes?
Have to do it on my own Viper too and yours looks very sharp. Thanks

Ingmar StöhrHi Konrad. I did not mask them at all. I carefully painted them by hand. Went better than expected. I don't know if I could have masked them that good.

Konrad -Thank you very much! That makes it not easier for me 😉! Will try it today evening will see how it turns out.

Ingmar StöhrIf you spill some of the lighter colour onto the darker base colour it's quiet easy to correct. Together with well defined surface details it's not to hard to get a clean paint job.

Konrad -Thanks mate now I've tried and it looks not to bad. I'll show a pic soon. Looking forward to your feedback.

Patrick HagelsteinEven so, in real life those antennas have a bead of silicone caulking around them to prevent water intrusion. This caulking isn't always as neatly applied as should be. In scale a little spill isn't that inaccurate. 🙂

Konrad -Thanks Patrick this should help on my painting skills. So I can say it is silicone to secure that no water comes in 😉!

Maciej BellosWow! This new F-35 camo looks great on the Viper! I am eager to see weathered Vipers of this camo.

DanielLooking very cool and up to date, good call to keep it perfectly clean, just as the originals. Great Job!

Ingmar StöhrThank you mates!
@Daniel and Maciej: Normally I like to weather my planes, but in this case decided against it. To be honest I was thrilled enough by the challenge of replicating the Have Glass V color.

Sven SchönyanI always admire your clean and straight builds with just some subtle weathering or better said pronouncing the panellines and schadows in order to extract all details.
