David TaylorOnly thing I would add are that the wing inspection panels are a darker sea grey due to panels being sealed against sea water ingress.

Snake PlisskenIs it similar to a commemorative edition or just meant to replicate natural metal finish?
20 September, 20:05
Ben MIt's aluminum plated to represent the actual nmf finish. I built a t-33 where I had some issues that I hope to improve upon.
21 September, 04:29
Ben MDid a lot of sanding areas that will be glued, masking, fitting parts to each other, and basic assembly while I'm on vacation. I got new decals from Siam decals as the originals are from 1968 and not in good shape. I'm not sure how old the Siam decals are but they are newer than '68. One thing that is apparent is the stripey tail decal doesn't fit at all. This is going to be a good challenge to resolve.
21 September, 23:57
Ben MDecided to try to apply the 1960s decal for the cockpit, as I don't have an alternative. Had to soak it for about a minute in hot water to get it to release. As is typical for hawk kits the decal isn't the right size but you go to war with the decals you have. I got it to apply without shattering. Unsure if it will stick, very old decals like this often have to be glued in place.

Ben MI think the Siam Scale decals I'm using instead of the originals are about 20 years old but they're going on ok. A little thick, so not settling down into panel lines but I'll try some decal fluid once they set in place, hopefully they will on the aluminum surface! The roundels are two part so I will have to do a second layer…

Mr DSmart little model.... unusual in the factory chrome 👍👍
Nice classic kit.
Bit of heat of hairdryer works with thick decals.... nice n steady.
Like it 😁👍
27 October, 15:36
Ben MThat's a good idea, I may give it a try. First I'm going to upgrade from micro sol to mark fit.
27 October, 15:56
Mr DI use Mark fit ....but recently found the Vallejo one works amazing... Just used it on my in progress IAR-80.
Definitely my go to now.
The moon ships is great 👍👍
27 October, 16:15
Ben MAn interesting detail I note while decaling. The panel lines on the fuselage are engraved. The panel lines on the wings are raised. Wtf.
28 October, 01:52
Desert MarlinI've been using Mr. Mark Softener and Mr. Mark Setter. They worked well on some Kitty Hawk decals which are pretty stubborn...
28 October, 04:19
Ben MThe tamiya mark fit and some work with a needle solved the problems! Thanks for all the great ideas everyone. Onwards!
28 October, 16:13
Ben MDid a bunch of cut the decals into pieces to fit a different model than they were made for. Came out fairly well. Subassemblies are getting larger as the project comes together.
3 November, 03:49
Mr DIt's looking really good 👍
It's great that the kits can still be built after all these years.
The people in the factory's would have never believed the model they are packing wouldn't be built until 2024 🤔🤣.
Nice build to follow 😃
3 November, 21:52
Ben MAlmost complete. Popped the main fuselage seam a bit 🙁 I had gone to a lot of work to hide it. For some reason even after carefully scraping the mating surfaces I just don't get good adhesion. Maybe next time I will try only using CA for assembly on my next plated kit.
3 November, 22:06
Ben MThe decal sheet says 23rd squadron Kohkratiem AFB, but there's not much on the internets. Possibly a misspelling? The Royal Thai Air Force had F8F's from 1951 to 1963.
Thanks to Siam Scale for the decals, without which this project would be hopeless. The sheet number is 48003 if that helps anyone.
3 November, 23:15
Desert MarlinLooks great so far! Don't worry about the seam. It can be filled and perhaps painted, even though it's plated.
4 November, 03:45
Ben MComplete! @desert marlin - I decided the seam on the bottom wasn't important enough to do a bunch of rework. It's an old 60's "chrome" plated model after all 🙂 I think it came out looking pretty good overall.
4 November, 20:54
Mr DFantastic, Really nice kit , Looks 👍 great.
Sometimes it's nice for a vintage kit to look close to how it would be built originally.... Nostalgic.
Nice find....
4 November, 21:08
Ben MI have one more plated kit in my stash. Kind of tempted to get it out and keep going…

JuskifoWow all these tones of paintings I thought before I saw that it was on a scale of 1/35
18 September 2021, 06:34
Robert PodkońskiIs it really in 1/72nd scale or you have produced such a big match? LOL 😉 Absolutely fantastic!
18 September 2021, 15:41
Elshan MammadovYeah, the most difficult was to build the match!😉Thank you all friends for your kind words!
18 September 2021, 16:39
Jennifer FranklinAnother older build that Mr. James has dug up is gorgeous. Thank you for shining a light on this one.
31 May 2023, 02:15
Dave SmithHave this in my stash would be interested in which colours you painted. Will give me some ideas to come away from desert scheme.
6 June 2023, 16:26
RuiYou're a wizard with the weathering and a magician with the camera, my friend. 👍
12 February, 04:58
Elshan MammadovThank you mates! Very glad you like it and nice to hear good comments from such specialist in this scale as Zsolt.
13 February, 06:49
CaptGPFWhoa! That paint job just makes at model pop! The weathering is unique, rather than just crabbing up the model, it actually accentuates the camo colors. VERY VERY VERY WELL DONE!!!!!
