No kidding, that was fast! Great job on the markings too. We had a guy in the NMF GB do something similar. He painting his checkered colored markings (á la Joe's tutorial ;] ) before the Alclad and had the same step. I imagine that's an easy thing to do when painting with two differnt kinds of paints, i.e. acrylics vs laquers. Still, you pulled it off nicely. =]

Looking forward to that P-38!!

Will it be another NMF?? There's still time to jump into that GB if you're interested. ;]

.....You approached Toshi speed on this one ...

Ha! Big Smile

Really nice work, Joe. Your finished product is anything but boring, and as always thanks for the WIP.

Fantastic work Joe. Nice to see another one of us build something without a prop. Awesome work again.

I am in love with the weathering!  It really brings back the aircraft lines alive.  Great job on the finish!  I wish I can build like this, wow!

Thanks everyone. I'm glad you like it. It's safe to say the jet bug has bitten me. I really enjoyed this build. Aside from a F-14 Tomcat, I hope to do Robin Olds' F-4 Phantom and perhaps an F-86 Crusader someday. I see Academy has Olds' markings in their recent C kit.

I'm with you Joe when it comes to jets but I must say, your skill can allow you to do either...so why not! As an aside, the absence of a greenhouse canopy and no antennae wire sure has its selling points.

Science is the pursiut of knowledge, faith is the pursuit of wisdom.  Peace be with you.
