And there it is! I'd be embarrassed to say how long this took, and it's packed full of mistakes and semi-mended disaster...

Interesting start!

I felt very uncomfortable cutting out the fuselage sections - I'd never done that before - but with the doors dropped open it means the cockpit will be more open.

Watching… I built this one last year.

Simon O'Gorman
Ah, cool! It's my first go at airbrushing and all going very slowly. But I'll get there in the end.

Me too... I've built the ancient-tool Airfix, but I have also bought the new one, and watching your work progress helps a lot.

Ah, look forward to seeing how you go lads. I'm no expert I'm afraid but you may pick up some tips as to what not to do

Terrific journalism on this build, I see the learning curve has yielded results! Bravo.

Thanks Andy, I'm recording the all the disasters along with the little wins. And the learning curve has been dramatic!

Well done. It looks like a fiddly model to build.
17 November, 16:55
Simon O'Gorman
Thanks Guy!
17 November, 17:53
Simon O'Gorman
Thanks Luke, to be honest I couldn't tell if the model was fiddly or I wasn't doing it right.

Thanks Alec, and yes, it was a great learning journey.

Some good work there, glad you finished it.

Simon O'Gorman
Thanks Dave, it became a saga alright.
17 November, 20:19
Ben M
I built that kit too, and it's tricky to get all the struts and such for the upper wing
17 November, 21:18
Simon O'Gorman
Yeah, that was really tricky for me too, Ben. Huge learning curve! What I should have done was glue the outer struts to the bottom and dry-fitted the top until it was set - then glued the centre struts into the top wing, and put the two together. Getting this wrong can ruin the build.

All done but the tail marking decal... that's going to be tricky.

I had to do a bit of work to rescribe he panel trenches. Even after very careful glueing of the fuselage, they didn't even come close to matching up over the seam. Looks much better now.
16 May 2020, 23:22
Greg Baker
Had to fight with the airbrush yesterday... so I think I'll need another coat of white paint.

Thanks guys. Masking those thin lines was a real pain, but hopefully it'll be worth it in the end.

Gary Kitchen
Hi Greg. This project looks awesome but the whole collection is mind-blowing!! I'll be pulling up a chair whenever you're at the bench.
25 May 2020, 09:17
Greg Baker
Thanks Gary, there's always plenty of room, so feel free to stretch out and make yourself comfortable. I'm getting close to done on the F-20, but his is a dual build with a F-18 Hornet. That one's been side-lined due to a missing canopy, but a kind soul on another forum sent me a replacement, so hopefully the whole thing will get back on track soon enough.

Jeramy Boileau
Love your work Greg, your projects always make thing about the comics, sadly they never finished the story.
1 June 2020, 14:58
Greg Baker
Thanks Jeramy. I just really like trying to capture the essence of the scene off the comicbook pages. That's sort of why I include the artwork on the wooden bases... it makes me feel like it's jumping off the page and into my hands. 🙂

Jeramy Boileau
BTW where did you find that Shin figure in photo #13(2)?
1 June 2020, 16:25
Greg Baker
There are several 1/24 scale Area 88 figures that came boxed with the old Takara 1/100 boxes - strobez.ca/wp/index...-100-scale-projects/ - I started working on one of the Shin ones "off the side of the workbench".

Chris Vandegrift
Really sweet work. Small stuff like this really shows off your skill. Looks like the paint could be on a 1/32 scale plane.
2 June 2020, 21:35
Greg Baker
Wow, Chris. That's some high praise indeed. I will say that I've put quite a bit of time into getting those tricky stripes painted well enough.
2 June 2020, 22:58
Greg Baker
So, this half of the project is basically done. I still have to struggle a bit with Shin's "flaming unicorn" crest on the tail. Getting homemade decals on anything other than a white background is always tricky. Let's see if I can outfox it this time...
7 June 2020, 14:51
Spanjaard
sweet!
23 June 2020, 11:48
Chaz Gordon
How about take the approach of start with a white tail and make a whole tail decal?
