Hello

a big session of puttying and sanding
i used milliput black, and i decided to try FAR148's favorite putty : baby powder and CA glue mixture. And i have to say : great stuff!

I like where this is going, and I eagerly await each update. Keep it coming!

between the sessions of puttying, sanding and polishing, i worked on the top of the vertical stabilizer.

just a few pieces of Evergreen and the plastic block is less dull

Gorgeous. Your work is superb ! Love the way this one is coming along. Thanks for the updates !

[KiwiZac]

Oh wow, this thing is going to look the business! I love what you've done with the cockpit, the pods on the wings and the new front end.

Very very cool!

hi

Here, as usual, the work of the week.

First I forgot to place the part representing the rear wheel well and arrestor hook. It was necessary to separate the hook and the tail wheel weel and cut in the fuselage to be able to place it, of course, puttying-sanding was required.


Finally it is ready to receive a coat of primer.

[Captain Canada]

Beauty. So much detail ! Looking forward to seeing the primer pics.

I´m more into fighters than attack aircraft but the skyraider...
It's one of my favourite in that department and this modernized beast has got me hooked!
Wanna see that finished!

not much times for painting those last days

just a quick session of preshading

[ALF]

New painting session

I decided to make a desert scheme with Gunze acrylics thinned with lacquer thinner. This is the first time i use lacquer thinner with gunze acrylics.
I heard a lot of this method and i wanted to try.
The result is great : even in cold and humid condition, the paint dried in a few second, and the coat is fine and hard.





I also tried the holographic stickers from AFV club.

for the big screen




And for the HUD lens



It's not easy to on a photo
