Thanks George!

Keep in mind that the windscreen is not correct. Half is body, half is screen. Seen a lot of people just leave the entire clear piece clear.

Landlubber Mike
Wow, that came out great! Really well done!

Christian Lehmann
Very nice!

Spanjaard
fantastic

Paul Gallagher
thanks folks

Miguel Vaquero
Incredible details. Can't get a more realistic diorama than this!

Quick pics from the spray booth. Attempted winter white wash.

gorby
I think your attempt has been successful, very successful!

Lebloge
Excellent !!

Mr James
Beautiful winter wash. What a great build

Dave Beenak
New image drop. The tow cable didn't work out too good....I may get rid of it. Thanks for the comments.

Kirill K.
Excellent weathering!

Neuling
A masterpiece.

Starting stronger since the A350 catastrophe. Cockpit sub assembled with the Eduard Detail set, painted and weathered. Couldnt take more pictures of the progress due to the details being so small 🥴🥴

Michael Kohl
Nice cockpit

Thomas Kolb
My goodness, that cockpit looks stunning! Are you sure it's not 48 scale?

Miguel Vaquero
Thanks Michael!

I could have hoped Thomas😅😅. It would have made my life way easier. Though the PE details helped a lot

CaptGPF
Agree with everyone - the cockpit looks great! Chipping at this scale is impressive

Nicolas
Nice progress so far.

Miguel Vaquero
Thanks guys, waiting to get free from work this week to star painting the fuselage and engine. Let's see how that turns out

Guy Rump
Looking good, following. 👍

Miguel Vaquero
Engine almost done, except for the PE parts. I'm amazed of how it's all turning out tbh, didn't expect this great finish on such small parts

Mr D
Looking good 👍 the instrument's look good, did you get the clocks to sink in with softener ??
I have this one to build next after my lAR-80.
Thanks for uploading 😁👍

Miguel Vaquero
Hey MrD thanks! Well Im sorry I can't help you with that because I used the photo etched and plastic instrumentation provided by the kit from Eduard. Sure someone with more experience with Tamiya decals can help you with that in here.

Looking forward to see how yours turns out!

Mr D
Thanks 👍👍
May look into the PE kit.
Belts come out nice, do you glue PE direct to plastic or do you have to prep first ?
Coming on nicely 👌

Miguel Vaquero
I use cyanoacrylate for the PE parts, just a little amount sticks okay, although at this scale there's some parts that are way to hard to make them stick and my not so skilled application of the glue leaves a lot of residue on the model. I try to clean up the best I can but it's quite challenging sometimes

If you want to build a good looking cockpit with the extra detail I recommend you the PE for sure. But if your main goal is the exterior and not to focus so much on the interior the PE kit doesn't include a lot of things for the exterior, and the tamiya kit I think gives a really nice looking base cockpit

With half the plane chipped, I'm leaving for the week. There's still a lot of work to do regarding chipping and weathering to blend the paints. I'm having so much fun, and applying new technics for me that I'm sure I'll use in future models.

Mr D
Thanks Miguel 😃👍
I've only been building again as an adult for just over a year, so the advice helps me improve.
And as l said will probably be my next build.
Good luck with everything Miguel.. enjoy 👍👍👍

Chipping and decals done. I'm sure this chipping is not going to be of the liking of many, but I wanted to try different techniques and achieve a heavy worked on plane who could not get a paint job in a lot of time. I really like the result I achieved, even though it may seem extreme, I think it adds a lot of personality to the model, and also adds some history to it. Let me know your opinions on this and what would you have done differently with this chipping process
