MMMMM 

[Taiidantomcat]

All your projects look like big and mean, like machines that can take some damage and keep ticking-- while dealing some nasty attacks of their own. have you already decided on markings??

Ben this one will be all green, but a bunch of different greens. It will be painted like an early US Navy plane with light green bottom, medium green middle and a darker green top. and will have British markings as my backstory has it being built in England

Hi Sotoolsli`
I is in shock! I shoulda posted before but I can`t keep up.
But two questions,
1 When do you find time to sleep?
2 Whatever it is your on can I have some?

Also this would look good in very very off white

Hog, sleep what is that word meaning . Nah  I'm supposed to have an MRI on the trashed knee and my co. has been draggin their feet (trying to find the cheapest place) so I have been off work since last Fri. I don't know how to act actually being at home
I had planned on this build since GTX first posted the profile and I actually started the build the same day the new Profile Tribute GB started. I picked up the 2 models I'm using at the IPMS show last Saturday. I think I bought one from Sentinal Chicken and one from Scooterman

I still can't get over how perfect the new engine looks! This is totally pro-style!

[puddingwrestler]

...egad.

[sotoolslinger]

Suprisingly  PSR is pretty much done on this one


Looking very dangerous

This one definitely gets scary monster mouth decals

Top ....looks very businesslike

Even looks good from below

Color starts tomorrow

[John Howling Mouse]

Those double-double exhaust stacks make me feel like I'm goin' through puberty all over again!!!   

[sotoolslinger]

Ok, it's supposed to look like this

It looks like this

What do you think
I have taken some liberties wirh the guns

and of course the 24 cylinder engine exhusts
But I believe I have kept to the basic profile

[GTX]

Works for me .

Regards,

Greg

A very sharp and intimidating aircraft.

GTX , glad your happy , seein as how this is your fault
Beware I got my eye on those cool photoshops of 'Phoons with the intake back under the wing
Eddie thanks, here is proof that practice makes mediocre
Freehand airbrushing

This only took 1 try (I'm a horrible liar)

This is the paint scheme I had originally invisioned for the Skyrocket


Glad I didn't do it now as it looks so good as a nightfighter
This took several tries ,shot all three colors

Lost the middle color to overspray , repainted and lost the line between the bottom and middle so this is like the third try , came out ok

[sotoolslinger]

Thanks JHMouse ,it's this one


I apprieciate the tips and will use them in the future.
Maybe I just suck at photograpy I actually thought  this was pretty good
This is my first double action airbrush, big learning curve
