Huge amount of white gloss airbrushing out of the way today. I'd been putting this off for as long as possible because air brushing gloss white is just so fiddly. Oh well had to be done and glad it's out of the way.
Can now move onto other things.
Some more work on the F-22A Raptor this weekend. Must say this is a great kit, well done to Academy. Everything fits together beautifully and when detailed looks the part.
Internal stuff is all fitted inside. Quite a lot of internal gear, intakes, front wheel well, rear wheel wells, missile bays, bomb bay and exhausts.
Cockpit fitted into the top half of the fuselage;
Close up of the office;
I'm pleased the way the kit IP decals conformed to the resin display and how clear they look.
I have this kit and it's a beauty. There is one glaring thing wrong that was brought to my attention, takes like 2 minute sto fix. The nose has a bit of a "chin" on the bottom. You cna pretty much fix it in a few seconds with a sanding stick without removing any detail if yer careful. It's an amazingly beauitful kit of the likewise aircraft. You're right it is quite large, no idea where I will be able to put it. Maybe in the display case at the LHS along with my two WWII German AC that are there right now.
Some more work done on the Raptor;
Cockpit before detailing with seat and console/IP
I primed the bomb bays in black so the gloss white had a depth to help with the detail. Once painted up these should look very busy;
Removed the kits HUD and prepared a plastic shelf for the resin replacement.
Ok, so after having a look at the scant LP instructions and doing a test fit with the Academy parts, I've concluded that the tub can fit in without me having to cut away the resin plug at the bottom. Bonus and YAY! This is the part of using resin that I hate.
Fits right in on top of the front wheel bay, I only have to slice away some of the cockpit sill and the kits HUD and IP cover.
This GB has been quiet for a bit now. Time for me to add some new content. I'm doing the Academy F-22A Raptor. Nice kit, I'm also adding the LP cockpit set in resin. This plane is huge, I mean huge. This fuselage is almost the size of an F-16 in 1/32!!
Some really nice detail in the Legendary Productions cockpit

You need to get an account for a photo hosting site ie. Photobucket, Flickr etc. That way you can post your photos here as an IMG file. It would also be good to see some work in progress photos as well.

The finished Predator!!
Hey all!!
Sorry I haven't added anything in a long time. Been busy with work and various other things. I'm about finished with the Predator. Decals are on as well as the flat coat. Now just need to add the landing gear and some touch ups and it's done. Here's the pics.
Here it is with the decals on. Had to do a couple of repairs before I flat coated it.
And here it is after the flat coat.
Thank you Casper
I would like to do another stealth build this year but will have to see how things go. Health issues have prevented me from building as much as I would like, hopefully this year will be better than last year was. I didnt finish all the builds I had commited to group builds. That bothers me and I hope it doesnt happen this year.
Randy So many to build.......So little time
Nice Horton. Like the paint job on the engine. Looks like a Nazi bat!
I've updated the front page! Nice job hope you may do another one this year.
Ok then the Horton 229 is finally finished.
Hope ya like the picture Cool camo huh
Ok lets turn the stealth thingy off here.
It is kinda hard to see from the front huh
For the base coat I used Tamiya Olive Green and the camo is Tamiya Black green. I cut the edges of the masking ( which was just post-it paper ) with pinking shears. I think it worked out very well from some angles it looks to have a very soft edge and from others it looks like a very hard pinked edge. My camera really doesnt to it justice I think its time for a new camera or maybe A NEW OPERATOR .
I also built it so I can show off the engines if I choose to. That Microscale Liquid Tape works great for holding the engine covers on even while I was painting the model they didn't move nor leak. I slid the engines in after I finished all the painting, sure made masking easier.
Anyway hope ya like her Casper
