Great Looking SHAR! 👍🏻

Sergio Ordonez
Thank you so much, mate. I Hope It will be the first of many. I want to recreate all the Shar innthe HMS Hermes, as well as the GR.3.

Cuajete
Fantastic job, Sergio.
Enhorabuena!

Sergio Ordonez
Thank you so much, Cuajete. Just out of the box and a Hasegawa old model that is still astounding. Let me see what Will happen with the Airfix FA.2.
Gracias ,amigo!

Mr D
Well done Sergio 😁👍👍
Look's great👌
Interesting aircraft to build, l did the Tamiya one few months back and enjoyed doing it.
Make a great display piece,
Enjoy 👍

Sergio Ordonez
Thank you, Mr D. Japanese kits for SHARS are very accurate in my experience. Both Fujimi and Hasegawa, even being old kits will be the backbone of my future Harrier wing. Now I am working on Airfix SHAR FA.2 and I found the assembly better (in some points) but with some features (as canopy and cockpit assembly) worse that older kits. Italeri ones seem better than Airfix, but I think some details are missing.
Tamiya is a 1:48 nice model I only saw once in my life (a 'rara avis' in m local shops) but, apart from the fact that has the usual Tamiya high quality standard, seems to be a kit for the experienced modeler.
Yours looks awesome.

Great to follow your SHAR builds Sergio! Really inspiring👍🏻
Friendly advice on the Tamiya 1:48 SHAR kit. This kit is not even close to the usual Tam standard & quality we all are used to. It is a really poor kit.
I didn't do my homework, bought the kit & was badly suprised by the quality. I took the approach to build the model to improve my modeling skills. Put in some scrachwork and a lot of aftermarket stuff to get it to a decent level.

Interesting pick for a 10 day challenge. But I guess it wouldn't be a challenge without a challenging kit. Best of luck.

Mike Volkov
Thank you Clement! I hope for the best 😅

Day 2/10 on 10-day challenge: cockpit and gear bays painted and glued the fuselage together. Ready for filling and sanding...

KP kit in 10 days? Taking a seat 😄

Mike Volkov
Day 3/10: lot of filling and sanding.... 😥

Alec K
Hopefully the worse is behind you. Nice progress 👍

Mike Volkov
I hope so too. 😄
Day 4/10: KP has given me a lot of fantastic sanding opportunities, but I'm finally getting to the priming. But it still needs a lot of fixing before I can start painting it.

Clement
"Sanding opportunities" is a nice way of putting it 😄
So far so good, looks like you have a good chance of pulling this off.

Cuajete
Well done so far! 👍

Mike Volkov
Day 5/10: Repairs after priming and some panel rescribing. Wheels and landing gear finished.

Mike Volkov
Day 6/10: Starting the paintjob with colour correction. The colour of the gear bay is grey and not bluish grey, and the wheel rim is typical Russian green and not grey. So I had to repaint a few things today. I use Ammo masking putty to temporarily hold small parts like this.

Cuajete
Good progress, Mike 👍

Mike Volkov
Thank you, Cuajete! 😊

Day 7/10: One of the top camouflage colours is Mr. Hobby H307. The other colour suggested by KP is H305, which is too grey. So I mixed in several blues, green, red and white. I can't post the proportions, but it's pretty close to the Pakistani bluish grey.

Mike Volkov
Day 8/10: The project is drawing to a close. After oil painting I prepare it for decals.

Alec K
Excellent results and tempo. Close to the finish line now 👍

Cuajete
Color scheme looks great 👍

"Sanding opportunities" is my new favorite term

J35J
10 Day challenge, that's really a great idea!
Will certainly give it a go at some point.👍🏻
