"Century series Jets" GB 2014-2015 * CLOSED *

That Hun looks sweet Mail...your preshading paid off extremely well!! Very cool...

OK, so I have worked on the burner-can and gotten the belly painted. The burner-can looks alright, I guess. I used Tamiya  Weathering set D. Too bad these are somewhat toxic. I am happy with the paint on the belly, if I can get the camo scheme to go on nicely with the pre-shade coming through........

Well, now I see a blip on the wheel well.

I have the 100,, 104 and the 105.....almost 1/2 way with my collection ;-)

Flyer...yeah, it's definitely on the list, but, way down the road. My LHS has one but I haven't picked it up yet. I'll do an F-111 too, just for fun, even though it not in the 'true' Century line.

MW -  It should look pretty cool once painted.  I have yet to pre-shade a model.  I plan on doing it with the Zero I'm working on (very slowly).

Rob - Were you going to pick up the 107?

Got my City of Jacksonville today in the mail from Korea. Unfortunately, it can't be done for this GB, but, it is the 6th and last model I've been wanting to finish the entire Century Set. Someday, I'll post all 6 posed together. She's the same 106 that I quit on at the start of this GB, so, I'm going into it nervous. The wing roots leave a horrible gap and they will do the same on this kit, but, I have a better sealing plan in mind for this time around so I can save my sanity!!

Yup, that'll do Mail...get that new paintbooth fired up with your first coat!! Good job.

Well after a long hiatus from modeling, due to work and building my paint booth, I have finally done "something". I have done my pre shading/weathering. Now I know I need more practice with the airbrush, and it does look a mess, I think it will look a little better as the camo goes on? Please know this is something I've never done before, and never heard of until looking on this site and others. Here are some pics:

68GT Your 106 is turning out really slick!

Very cool.  That thing looks slick.  Great job.

Thanks,

I just wish I had the Hasegawa boxing with these markings.  Decals would have been fresher.

Dang I'm seeing stars!

Bloody awesome 68GT!! I'm so inspired by your outstanding work on this thing, I got one for my collection as well!!

Plugging along.

Always nice to hear that :-D

I was so inspired by that wicked looking City of Jacksonville, I picked one up on Ebay with free shipping from Korea!! This, when done (someday ) will complete the full set: 100, 101, 102, 104, 105 and 106!!

Thanks but it is more of being carful with the old decals and measuring before I masked.  I wish I could detail and weather like some of you on here.

Looks really cool GT.  It should be really sharp when complete.

68GT, your build is stellar!

Man that looks sharp, well done!

I know what you mean about sometines seeing a particular part of the model as "work" ;-)

But as soon as it is done and the results are as cool as yours then it is soon forgotten......this is who I feel about filling and sanding lol

Love it 68...I've seen the stars many times in pics of that plane, but, didn't know it hid the stripes underneath!! Very cool...gotta add this one to my collection for sure..keep it up!

I finally quit procrastinating and masked up the underside for the red.

I'll have to go back and do the wheel wells and landing gear.

I'd certainly love to do a F106, but, I've over-committed to too many GBs, so, I gotta get caught up first!!

There is still almost 2 month to go , why not do your next century build now ;-)

The years 2015 to 2016.

Please tell me what a 15/16 is? I must admit my lack of know how on the 106 :-(
