Belgian Alpha Jets KP/ ASK
The ASK kit with the decals, those of SYHART are more complete. The sprues are from KP
The second ASK kit with its decals.
The wings need some sanding and putty filling
The tail too needs clean up and sanding, no location pins, careful matching is required
The undercarriage bay with my replacement 3D printed legs
There is an ugly gap at the cockpit bay. To be filled with plastic card
Carefull trimming is required to match upper and lower fuselage
cockpit installed with PJ ejection seats (MB mk10) and extra details. Put some weight below the cockpit floor to avoid a tail sitter. Canopy added
Second attempt : pink/magenta primer as undercoat for yellow. This time I will paint the wings and fuselage before the final assembly
This is what it should be
or this...
The yellow seems OK (Lifecolor UA140)
masking for the black parts
some damage when removing the masks
damage repaired and red areas painted, nose strikes in PE

I am not sure which livery I will use, as there are 18 possibilities...

I consider this one as finished. Not my best model, but acceptable (for me)
