Long time no hear you say
.Thought I would post some progress shots of my latest project that I am building for a GB over on ARC. I am using one of Pete's Resin recce pack to convert this into A8-126, as she was the last F-111 to perform the dump and burn before their retirement.
Cockpit - I had managed somehow to break off one of the joysticks before this pick was taken, unfortunately I lost it to the carpet monster
Pete's resin Recce pack
and fitted
intake trunking complete
MLG and well - I used a little artistic licence with regards to the well.
and installed
here is she is as 3pm today on her legs.
.I have painted the fore Flap and L/E sections red as well as the movable l/e sections ( i have totally forgot what there called ) but haven't taken any photos yet.
Progress update.....
Had a few days break from this build to get a start F/A-18F, this one will be eventually one as on of 6Sqn's birds for a GB build over on ARC. So while the site is down for a forum server move.
This is pretty much done as a trial for myself by black basing the whole model. This build has been done by using Life color acrylic's starting with FS30738 as the base black, I have used FS36118 as the base grey,
then lightened this with matt white to give some tonal changes.
then have gone over the whole model again with a 50/50-60% paint thinner ratio and applied a couple of light coats to blend it all in.
