March 20, 2021Epoxy plug as cockpit front, doubles as blanking plate behind splitter. Cut off front of cockpit "tub" to allow for dropping in of splitter once interior of intake trunk is smoothed. Test fits going well so far!11
April 9, 2021Got my new Hasegawa Tri-Tool scribing templates!12
April 9, 2021They work quite nicely....13
April 9, 2021Wings scribed, fuselage next....14
April 19, 2021Scribing done, airframe built and primed.15
April 19, 2021Worst fitting part of kit, better test fitting would have saved some time here. Still, a great fit for an old kit. Got some minor scribing to fix, wing tanks are tough to scribe straight!16
April 25, 2021Brush formula (BlueLine ) Hataka paint, lovely stuff!-Two coats of Silk Grey on, belly - bubbles in green circle are caused by not wetting the brush first..easily remedied. Levels nicely, I will be getting more of their products!.17
January 7, 2024Re-shot undersides with Vallejo Model Air USAF light grey 71.29618
January 7, 2024Vallejo Model Air IDF blue 71.11319
January 7, 2024color recommendations for 50s IDF colors all over the place, went with Yoav Efrati's suggested colors, using Vallejo Model Air Golden brown 71.032 and IDF blue 71.113 - now you can see the sizable gap around the windscreen to fill -20
January 7, 2024Tamiya FB thinned for black - Yellow is Vallejo med. yellow with a drop of orange21
January 7, 2024not too shabby, they kinda look hand painted as most marking were applied hastily22
January 7, 2024Fuselage stripes are gonna be tough to keep straight - next thing on the list.23
January 15, 2024Striping done, gear on24

January 15, 2024Marking it as A/C 92 from 113 Squadron, Hornets. (Squadron currently flies AH-64D Sarafs)26
January 15, 2024still have to paint antenna on front of fin. The closed "2" was not common27
January 15, 2024Print Scale decals are nice and thin, behave well so far - the sharkmouth is correct with red on the bottom, as the Heller kit decals have the black and red reversed. May need some help with the curvature of the intake - letting them settle overnight.28

January 21, 2024Print Scale decals still silvered a wee bit - maybe base was not glossy enough? Small aerial on left of nose is made from fur off of my German Shepherd - once segmented, the thick kt canopy will fit right over the rear decking. Pitot tube is steel music wire.
