I don't think so - the masking is going to be complicated enough as it is!  There's the grey leading edges of everything, then all the metallic panels etc

Quote from: ChernayaAkulaJust looked at the reference photo of the F-15J again. Will you tape off the original grey camo stencils and apply the black and white over that giving it that intermittent look?  That'll look killer

This is what I am talking about!  The panels on the spine are provided as decals, but the stuff around the flaps, ailerons + tailplanes will require MORE masking  :banghead:

Just a small update.  I've finished the main weapons bay - this is all OOB.  Painted using a combination of references and artistic license




I also discovered a problem with the rear fins on the AAM-4s fitting in the weapons bay.  ISTR a similar problem with the AMRAAM which lead to its fins being cropped?  Looks like I might have to develop a special AAM-4R ;)



Don't think it's going to be finished before Wednesday....

Beautiful nev. :wub:  Never mind, carry on! :thumbsup:
I don't think it's nice, you laughin'. You see, my mule don't like people laughin'. He gets the crazy idea you're laughin' at him. Now if you apologize, like I know you're going to, I might convince him that you really didn't mean it.

That is completely amazing work.  You must have an incredibly steady hand...and with KIDS running about, no less!!   :bow:  I am humbled.   :bow:

Trust me, its only done when there are no kids around (1 reason why my output has slowed dramatically the last 6 months :banghead: )

Anyway, since the GB has finished, I'm moving this to the workbench forum

This should be some pretty damn wicked stuff - nice work so far, looking forward to seeing more work.
