Marbling looking great! This is white marble on black right?
Those AK colors are spot on from my experience 👍
Looking forward to the next updates!

Yeah these paints sometimes "eat each other" when thin layers with highly thinned paints are applied. Which is a good thing if you want a TPS camo nicely blended...in your case not so desirable...
But why did you do a complete repaint if only the spine needed fixing? Used different color for dark ghost gray? Still looking great and interesting to follow 👍

Hi Daniel, when I painted the Flaps, I noticed the difference. I guess I still had some Light ghost grey in my Airbrush, which made the dark ghost grey come put waaaay to light. After repaint, it looks alot better.

Great build, has the Hobbyboss some odd bits or is it pretty 'straight forward' modelling? Don't want to be a bore here, but shouldn't the small exhaust petals get a bit more metallic paint? Or is it under a layer of mask/grey paint? 🤗

Weathering progressing very nicely! 👍

@Mark D:
No worries, nothing wrong with asking 🫡
Yes, still have metallics to Do (exhaust pedals and gun exhaust), but I didn't want them be under a coat of flat paint 🙂 (gloss for the gun then light weathering, pedals under a semi-gloss coating).
To the kit itself. Mine was pretty straightforward but with a few little caveats:
If you build it with closed avionics panels, the center strake of the avionics bay needs to removed or reduced. Also, the out of box cockpit is nice, but one should consider which BuNo your going to build, since this kit does have the Advanced rear cockpit (similar to the growler rear pit) which is why picked up the resin replacement from metallic details. Maybe consider to pickup instrument decals from Quinta or red fox (dunno who makes them for HB Kit)
Other than that, it is pretty straightforward if one takes his time.

@Alexander: thank you, trying to take my time and not over do it, since it is a Land based aircraft🔎

@ Jos J: Thank you

@Daniel: Me too! I'm thinking about a growler with conversion to block III and with "what if" markings 😉

Awesome rhino, very beautiful blend of grays 👍 👍 Think I would glue the canopy though to get rid if the gap
21 August 2023, 09:43
Donnie Briscoe
@Daniel, Thnak you, the Gap is only there, because I was reluctant to press the Canopy on (It's a hella tight fit), after on of the wheelspopped off during handling ^^'otherwise, as you can see in the Projects Titel picture, it has a snugg fit and a just visible line no gap ^^'
