Can one still join this group with its uber-cool badge?
If so, how about I do a Tamiya J1n1 Gekko (moonlight)??
....working my way up the airbrush learning curve......
Hi all, Here is my 1/48 Hobbyboss Mirage 3 cz in SAAF 2 sqn colors (in France) just before being delivered to South Africa in 1963.
Alclad finish and a resin Bangseat. All the decals except for the Castles and finflash are from the kit and worked very well over the alclad.

Superb job, the Alclad came out fantastic! Sweet!

While home for spring break, Id figured I do a quick build. But knowing me, I had to add some detail. This is an older (hasegawa) kit I picked up at a vendors table for a buck, so I dont feel bad mucking around with it! lol
This is an JA-37. First off, there was no detail in the cockpit, just a floor and a plain chair..scratchbuilding commence! I used plastic card, and some old gift card to build it up. Everything here not silver plastic was adeed by me. I even scratched an IP [ painted up and looking good next, I decided to add internal detail, a la intake ducts. Spare road wheels from my Stug kit supplied the details thats all for today. Stay tuned for more! :)

1/48....
It'll be a week or two before I get started, but should easily beat the deadline.
Nice scratchwork on that cockpit. What kind of jet is that?

Since it's spring break, are you building the model in Ft. Lauderdale?
Good looking progress, by the way, Ms OWL.

thanks checkmate :)
Ive made a few changes to the Viggen's appearance: lengthening the nose cone by sticking a road wheel in there (also from the Stug kit), adding on conformal fuel tanks, and changing the wing-shape a bit. All those changes, plus the fit of the kit meant filling and sanding. Yay...
painting next!
Nice work Owl! Somehow I missed your earlier post, good job with the cards to build up the spartan cockpit and I love the use of the stug wheels for the compressors etc.

can you name the paint scheme?
Heater/Ferris scheme
Thunderbolt379 Heater/Ferris scheme M/TB379
Yeah, looks like it to me too.
yup, ferris is correct! :)
decals, whoooo!
I'm sorry I forgot to tak a few pics of my Jug Thunderbolt before I painted it tonight, I'll take a couple of pics tomorrow. This was the first time i used my airbrush in a long time. I need to do some touching up where the colors change from dark olive to neutral grey. Also, I need to get rid of finger print in the paint. LOL
Looks great Owl Actually, everyones builds are looking great.

Okay here are a couple of pics of the Thunderbolt. The bare spot is where i stuck my finger in the wet paint I may never learn LOL It seems like I do something on every build to create more work for me to do.
nice progress greentracker! :)
I stick my fingers in wet paint too.....
FINITO!!!
That's a nice, attractive camo scheme to look at; finely and subtly weathered, too. Good work, Ms OWL!
CallSignOWL nice progress greentracker! :) I stick my fingers in wet paint too.....
Thanks Ms. Owl. That must be a occupational hazard. We just can't resist picking it up. Especially when the matte finishes look dry. LOL
thanks guys!
between sticking my finger in wet paint and gluing myself together....im a lost cause!
My daughter used to like "Babylon 5." Built her a model of it, hung it from her ceiling with fishing line, and glued myself to the fishline with superglue. Had to holler till somebody brought me fingernail polish remover.
Embarrassing moment...
. . . . and gluing myself together....im a lost cause
Nice looking Thunderbolt you got there OWL
And here's hoping you can say the same sentence for mine
