She's looking great, brother! It's great what you make out of such an old kit! Amazing work!
Well , not much build time this week, but she sits on three points and shes not a tail dragger, so I guess I got enough weight in her nose...
Starting to get some of the detail work done now...
Got the radar array finished and the pieces mounted...
Thats all for now, the weekend is coming up and I have ALL DAY SATURDAY , to do as I please!!! I'll get alot more done this weekend... Take care all...

Then Sell It Back At $2 Bucks A Glass...
Me neither Joe... but unless were doing a "wheels up" I guess we have no choice, I still have some more to add but all in all, its close to being complete (landing gear that is). Take care friend...
Looks good Doug. That's some good detail you have going on there. Landing gear is not my favorite part of building aircraft models but I'm looking forward to building this one.
Got the bulk of the landing gear done this weekend. I wsed some white metal pieces along with the kit doors and such...
Nice decalling work, my friend! That unit insignia really fits the theme of your build!
Alright, I'm starting the decal work, Sorry, I got a little carried away and did quite a bit before realizing that I need to take some pictures...
Like I said there was alot done before remembering to photograph...
I like the unit insignia I was able to find,,, To me its a deamon holding a lantern and a sword, kinda fitting the Night Hunter theme I want to do...
Thanks again Bish and Clemens for reminding me how to insert comment inbetween the photos!
More later!
Thanks
Thanks John, Its different but I like the look, and being a fictional craft, as long as I stay "believable" I guess no one will say too much as I express my artistic freedoms! (ha)
Clemens... I saw the Tamiya RAF Sky and the other Sky along with the MM RLM84 and I like the Tamiya myself. What I do is not to get too concerned about over spray, as long as I keep it light and reasonable. I think it tends to lend some blend and life to the base coat.
I guess I'll give one of the Tamiya paints a try...
That is great camo, i love it.

Just looking over my color chart and found that Tamiya makes a skyXF21 or sky greyXF19 and MM does indeed make a RLM84 in their Acrylics.
Thanks Bish, for the kudos and the tip!
To tell you the truth Clemens, I started with some model master green, (cant make out the label any more} and kept mixing pale grey and such to lighten or a drop or two of yellow to darken till it matched the pallet. Sorry I cant be more exact with the mix. I think MM sells a sky green, and the blue green RLMs.
Doug, lovely work on the paint job.
After posting a pic, I hit the space bar, I can then add the next bit of text I want to put in.
I am a Norfolk man and i glory in being so
On the bench: Airfix 1/72nd Harrier GR.3/Fujimi 1/72nd Ju 87D-3
Thanks for telling me those numbers! One of my 190s for Joe's GB is painted in 84 as well. What color did you use for it? I love the look of it!
Hey Clemens... Ok, The RLM # ... I really had to dig for this one. The base color is called Sky Green, and acording to the author of the menu I was reading from, The RLM is 84, now he also goes on to explain that that was what his research led him to believe, but he also admits that that was speculative, and it may also have been designated RLM99. Paraphrasing him, he stated that at the end, the RLM pallet was badly diminished and there was alot of blending of colors to be applied at field units, and the RLM84 / 99 may have been nothing more then a base metal primer similar to zinc oxide which would allow the top coat of paint to bind to it. The squiggles and underside are RLM66.
The camo looks really awesome! It's well worth the effort! May I ask what colors (RLM number) you used?
I sometimes have the problem with disappearing pics as well. I don't know why it happens though...
For posting comments between pictures, I just write the text where I want it to be and it seems to work...
WQell here is a few mors... It took about 2 hrs to do the "squiggly" camo scheme and get the first gloss coat on...
Yup, I'm sorry but for some reason only two posted and when I tried to reaquire my PhotoBucket site it wouldnt connect and kept telling me to try again... What a POS photo site! Thing is if I try to change now, all previous postings will be deleted.
By the way, How do you post comments between photos? I used to be able to do that but now I have to try to post all comments before.
Not sure why...
She's looking great, Doug! There are only 2 pics though...
Thanks Cassius... Yeah they were a bit excessive, but hey, thats what we run into at times... Well a little more progress, I'll have more this weekend too I hope! Thanks again! The first two photos are primer, and the last two are actually the begining base coat of color.
Good job on those huge gaps Doug, kit's looking great.
Yeah, I lost posts too...according to my profile I've only made 1 post? Some database somewhere lost several years worth of history.
I'm FINALLY starting in on my Tamiya kit this weekend. Getting the workshop set up in the new house took longer than expected. My photo booth is still MIA in the boxes, but I'll try some bench photos in the next day or so.
Cheers,
Brad

Nice work, Doug! She's coming along nicely!
Regarding the missing posts: I think I had 5 stars before and now I have only 4. I don't really care about the stars, but disappearing posts seem strange to me...
Just seen that wayne. There may be more to it than just a trim. You are down to just 16 posts, that can't be right.
well i had 4 under my name and now i neave none so i'm not sure it's a trimming thing. dropped a post in the feedback forum to get an answer

Thanks for the info Bish... Yeah, They were kinda excessive to say the least, but again, thanks to plasti-struct They filled in nicely.
Doug, I think there was a trimming of defunct threads. I lost almost 1,000 posts off my count, it happens every now and again.
The build is looking great, Those gaps do look a bit nasty.
OK, so what happened to my stars at the top of the page??? I had 4 working on my 5th and now there are only 2???
OK, a little more progress forthcoming here...Other then a couple of nasty gaps that opened up at the wing roots and the rear fuselage engine cover that were fairly easily resolved, things are going well. I guess I've been spoiled by the higher dollar kits and the way most fit together, and have forgotten the little annoyances of the Monogram kits. All in all though... I still love the old Monograms , faults and all.
waynec ok i'm just being lazy here as i am not a plane guy but is the cockpit color RLM o2 or RLM 66? already have dark green, gray/purpleish color and sky blue. not fanatical about the colors as it will be closed but want something close.

The general rule was that as of Nov 41, everything that could be seen through the cockpit was to be RLM 66. If you are doing the kit markings, which is one of the prototypes, then I would stick with that. If your doing a what if, you can choose what you want.
