WIP | Argentine Naval Aviation (COAN) Dassault Super-Étendard

Jos Jansen
Started with a special project this summer, a Dassault Super-Etendard from the Argentine Naval Aviation executed with the famous and also infamous Exocet missile...!

Slavo Hazucha
Cheers Jos, great choice, count me in on this one!

Jos Jansen
Thx Slavo, I have a F-111 in stash but I'll skip the group building ... 😉 The pit is ready up to and including the Gloss layer, I still doubt whether I will do a (pin) wash over it, otherwise it will go into the matt coat...

Jos Jansen
Pit is ready...!

Nathan Dempsey
I'll take a seat. I've got an Argentine SUE that I want to build one day.

Slavo Hazucha
Great start with a beautiful classic painted cockpit, the edge highlighting is right on the mark 👍 The fine-detail HUD an icing on the cake then 🙂

Jos Jansen
@Nathan...please join, I saw that you have the Heller kit, I hope the details of the panel lines are better from Heller than those of Kinetic ... to scribe them, that will be a mega job.

@Slavo...thx mate, everthing is straight OOB 👍

Thomas Bischoff
Nice start, count me in, the Etendard is for me one of the most attractive aircraft

Daniel
very nice! i'll take a seat here as well

Jos Jansen
I finally found some time to work on my SUE again ...!

Sergej I
Nice one, have you decided on the blue paint yet, Jos?

Jos Jansen
Which blue paint Sergej...I don't what you mean...?!

Michael Phillips
I missed the bus on this one the first time around, but I am aboard now! Very nice progress so far!

Maciej Bellos
Missed this one. Looking good Jos!

Holger Kranich
Gorgeous pit, Jos! What kind of bang seat is this? MB?

Erik Leijdens
Smart cockpit Jos! Eager to see more 👍

Sergej I
Jos the main - gray or blueish camo colour... 🙂

Jos Jansen
Welcome on board Michael and Maciej, glad to have you here...👍! Thx Erik, ... you will probably see the progress earlier than most mates here on SCM ... 😉

@Sergej: Okay, you mean the main color ... I will use GSI Creos Mr.Color Model Paint: Dark Seagray BS381C / 638 (C-331) for that. I will also use Gunze paint for the white bottom and the Argentinian flag on the tail.

@Holger: Thx for the compliment...everthing is straight OOB...the only adjustment I have made on the seat are self-made masking tape safety belts with aluminum foil for reinforcement. I made the buckle fasteners from thin lead wire ...!

Holger Kranich
Well done Jos, it looks the part!

Slavo Hazucha
Yay! Happy to see this one move on! 👍

Nathan Dempsey
I agree. I've got a 1:48 SuE and seeing this one will be inspiration for sure.

Stephan Ryll
Very nice progress Jos 👍

Jos Jansen
Thx guys, haha...I expected this reaction from you Slavo...stay tuned my friend 😉!

This Kinetic kit builds nice and smooth, but there are some flaws here and there. I do have to fill a few seams and joints with putty and seriously sand it.
