TuAF F-5A-2000 WIP
Straight forward. Nothing special but of course sanding is required on joints.
Drilling the intakes makes difference.
I think drilling is worth to do.
Pylon positions should be filled in since I am planning a almost clean wings.
Instrument panels glued. Cockpit tub installed and front section halves become one piece.
Pilot and ejection seat ready.
Dry fit in cockpit tub. It will be fixed at final stage.
Three pieces nose section glued except machine gun barrels and pitot tube.
Fuselage comes one peace.
Wings and stabilisers installed.
Primed with Mr. surfacer 1200 and sanded with 2400 grind polishing cloth.
Canopy temporarily installed with u-tack and painted black for interior colour.
Lower part painted with Gunze H308.
Masked and ready for upper body paint.
Lower part painted with H308.
Upper part painted with H306 and Vallejo 71.097 Medium Gunship Gray. I added some white to Vallejo for sun fade affect on second layer. Weathering affect with diluted XF-85.
Outer colours for exhaust are Vallejo Duraluminum and Alclad II Dark Aluminum. For inner XF-84 with dry brush.
Decals are on. After clear varnish will be panel lines.
Bottom and ….
… upper panel lines completed. Wing tip tanks glued. After last layer of clear coat next will be wreathing with oils.
Underside weathered with oil paints.
I mainly focused on creating sun fading effects on the upper body. Some miner weathering also added according to reference pictures. Now let’s leave it to dry until tomorrow.
Machine gun nozzles installed from brass tube. Upper and lower antenna created from styrene sheet. After seat and pilot glued this project will finish
