Sir, your detailing is amazing. The Demon looks great, and I can't wait to add one to my disoplay case as well. Great work!

Beautiful build! The opened access panels make the build all the more impressive!

Awesome build, weathering is perfect in my opinion. Looks nice sitting next to the Fury too.

Beautiful job overall. The extra detailing kicks it up several times. I have this one in the stash and will consider some of the upgrades you selected. Thanks for sharing your exquisite models.

Too many models to build, not enough time in a lifetime!!

1/48 Hobby Boss F3H-2 Demon – U.S. Navy VF-21 “Freelancers”

Extras used

- Aires Cockpit set

-Aires Gun Bay

-Aires Electronic Bay

-Aires Speed Brakes

- Lead wire and plasticard

Paints used

-Main colour- Acrylic Gunze Gray (FS 16440) & Acrylic Tamiya white

Other paints used – Acrylic Tamiya, Vallejo, Italeri and Gunze Mr Metalizers & AK Xtreme metal

Flory dark dirt wash, pastels and Vallejo Satin Varnish

Finally finished off this beast, it seems like forever working on it, started losing the *** towards the end, but kept going and I am really happy with the final result. I don’t think I would want to use all the resin upgrades for every build I do though, but they do add some nice details.

The kit goes together well but there is a lot of chopping and cutting to be done with the resin upgrades. The decals are the kit decals and despite some tearing on a few they set well with some micro sol.Although I did paint the tail yellow and white bars. Would I build another one? Yep! One already in my stash

Thanks for looking
