July 9, 20236
July 9, 20237
July 9, 2023Air duct for canon cooling installed.8
July 9, 2023I wasn’t happy with round panel lines. I create a template for positions of panels then filled them all.9
July 9, 2023Rescribed round panels with Hasegawa trytool.10
July 9, 2023Unfortunately there is a respectable gap to be filled and sanded just below the air intakes.11
July 9, 2023This is reference picture.12
July 9, 2023This is what I can replicate.13
July 9, 2023Nozzles are also done.14
July 10, 2023Finally wings meet with fuselage.15
July 12, 2023Front screen tinted with clear green.16
July 12, 2023Clear parts masked.17
July 12, 2023Finally ready for primer.18
September 28, 2023Some little progress.19
September 28, 2023Primmed with Mr. Finishing Surfacer 1500 white.20
September 29, 202321
September 29, 2023After sanding with 1000 grinds sponge painted with H306 Gray. After that masked for other gray.22
September 30, 2023I used Vallejo 71.097 first mixed with insignia white 1/2 but it was too lighter. Then I mixed 1/5 and sprayed again. Bu I wasn’t satisfied….23
September 30, 2023At the third attempt I directly use gunship gray without white. And now I’m happy with the color when I compare it with the reference pictures.24

May 28, 2024Reference picture of elevator without panel.26
May 28, 202427
May 28, 2024I didn’t notice before but these panels don’t exist on that tail number. I should sand and rescribe the panel lines again.28
June 18, 2024It’s done.29

June 18, 202431
June 18, 202432
June 18, 2024It is not glued yet but final painting for exhausts and tail metal panels.33
June 19, 2024I should modify these parts according to reference picture.34
June 19, 2024Stabilisers OK.35
June 23, 2024Some decals set. I hope decal solution works and decals fit tight otherwise I have to paint walk ways.36
June 27, 2024And of course it was no good. I sanded and masked for painting.37
June 27, 2024I added very little H-11 Flat white to XF-85 Rubber Black.38
June 27, 2024I’m satisfied with result. Final touches will be with some oils later.39
June 30, 2024Some more decals added but I can say that decals are not good. They’re really thin and they stick immediately on surface. Very difficult to reposition them. Overall I’m not happy with decals so far.40
July 4, 2024Upper fuselage decals finished. Still I’m not happy with decals quality.41
July 8, 202442
July 8, 2024Panel wash completed.
