                        My Viper is complete - flat coat shot, stores added the works, and then I remove the mask from the canopy and it leaves tons of the adhesive on the canopy. I painted a replacement one (nice to have 2 of the same kit!! Big Smile [:D] ) and then used superglue to put it on.Oops [oops] It looked great until the glue dried and all over the inside is crazed from the fumes!!!! Censored [censored] I think that I'll be dipping it in future tonight and then trying to glue it on again!! I'll get some pics up as soon as I can!!

                        Awesome work John! I can't wait to see the rest!

                        I have a BAC Strikemaster I may start for this Build again to keep things going. I'll keep you posted.

                        .Well John, your models are so good, I was convinced that it was your model. I can't wait to see the finished pics.

                        Stuka, looking forward to seeing yours too!

                        Ummm, sorry to disappoint you guys, but that pic is of a real plane! Not my model Tongue [:P]
                        However, I'll be doing essentially the same thing to the model though.
                        stuka: great looking typhoon there! Can't wait to see it finished!
                        NEWS FLASH: my Hornet is officially complete! I'll be posting pics later today hopefully.
                        Cheers,

                        Here we go
                        Here are some pics that I have been saying I'll post for ages and now I've finally got around to doing it !!!!


                        This is a view of the top of my typhoon, as you can see I've added the decals and all that needs doing is a wash , a flat coat , final assembly of components , and a slight weathering using my airbrush and pastels.


                        This out of focus shot shows the bottom of the plane , showing my first attempt at masking and spraying D-day stripes which might I add turned out surprisingly well!

                        Well done Frosty. I think NMF will look good on that bird. Can't wait to see it done.

                        I'll pass the word to the Beagle. I'm having rootbeers with him today in the french cafe down the street. Wink [;)]Clown [:o)]

                        Great Pic!!!

                        Ok - my F-16D has been repainted- I think that the colors are right now, anyway looks good to me - so I have sealed it with future and am preparing to place the decals. The Viper looks really mean with all the LGB's slung under the wings!!! Looking at adding AIM-9's to the outer pilons and wing tips for a total of 4 but am unsure of the colors. Anyone know where I could find some good color pics of sidewinders?

                        Did you throw it into the air and then snap the pic?Clown [:o)]Big Smile [:D]

                        Seriously though, I love the look of that model; you really did well. I need to resist opening my kit and starting it; I have too many that are not done already!

                        Frosty - great looking Fokker!!!! Keep it up!

                        Hows this for an attack load out - F-16D night falcon - 4 AIM-9N/M Sparrows, 4 GBU-12 ( 500 lb LGB ), 2 x 1000 lb LGB and a centerline fuel tank!!! Plus the falcon has the two targeting pods on either side of the intakes!!!!

                        Now if I could only get the paint colors right all would be right with the world!!!!

                        ps - not 100% on the designations of the Laser Guided bombs, but the kit that they are comming from is one of the Hase weapons kits

                        Another update - Still havent corrected the painting mistake on my F-16D. I have the correct paint but havent found the bench time lately. I will be adding some Hasegawa smart bombs to go with the lantirn and lightning pods that are slung below the intake.

                        Hopefully I'll get to start on either my F/A-18 E or F or the F-14B that I'm making into a Bombcat!!!

                        I'll attempt to take some pics soon and post them.

                        Take care all.
                        Cool [8D]

                        C'mon stuka!! Surely it doesn't take 4 days to recharge your camera!! Tongue [:P]
                        As for me, I'm STILL trying to find time to finish off the Hornet. Need a bit of motivation too, because I'm staring at the decal chart at about a hundred decals that go on the bottom of the a/c. Plus assignments and stuff for uni are gobbling up my time.
                        stuka, maybe your pics will motivate me!! Big Smile [:D]
                        Cheers,
                        John

                        Harrowbeer:
                        nice work on the Mk.1 Mustang, & the Walrus looks great, too
                        (i think i already said that in the GB, but what the heck, it still
                        looks great, so... Big Smile [:D])

                        another month & change 'til the end of this GB, maybe i'll even
                        get my project finished before the deadline this time !'

                        A short Progress Update::

                        First coat of pain went on my F-16D yersterday, but i think that the bottom color is to dark - will have to re shoot that.Sad [:(] I think that I'll be adding the F-14B and perhaps the F/A-18E or F to the build, not sure which super hornet yet though.

                        I'll try to post some pics soon!
