Always thought this was a neat looking jet. Thought I'd try a few new things on this build.

1st up the kit.



Assembly started.



Basic assembly completed, puttied and primed.



First time I've tried pre-shading...could use a little practice.



Sprayed the upper surface with Hawkeye's Talon Paint (Aluminum)
interesting stuff (I like it!) It covered the pre-shading well but when held at different angles it is more or less visible. a neat effect. straight on the pre-shading is subtle but it is stronger at an angle.



If you were to do a Raptor in grey and dark grey then spray this over top I think you could get the right look for the paint they use.



Masking mayhem!



I used Talon aluminum, pewter and steel. This photo does not do it justice, will try to get a better one in natural light tomorrow. I have to admit I rushed it and have a few flaws I'll have to camouflage. Still have to spray the belly and do some detail work.

That's simply superb, Jeff. Really like where you're headed with this one. Would it be OK if I made a suggestion ????

Nice paint job on this one.  It does look a lot like the Raptor's, but still different.
