DOUBLE D: Your models look great. I also like the weathering on the bottom of the planes too.

Rebel: Your model looks very neat and has good detail. I like the fine snow, what did you use?

I'm sorry I couldn't finish in time, but I'm 98.2% finished now. I just have to add the missiles and the drop tanks and it will be done. Pics up maybe by next weekend, (the build DEFINITELY done by next weekend) but I can't promise anything.

rust is maily pastels, except on the exhaust I used a rust paint for the base coat, then drybrushed some gunmetal gray, and put some brown pastel on.


no dio, cuz the hatches are open, and I don't want to put an interior in.........

nice build. You airbrushed and then handbrushed? why was that? nice camo, I've always liked two tone grey camo schemes. well done.

thanks for the comments!

i have to say i'm pretty disappointed in Leading Edge, cuz the decals that I used performed rather poorly. First of all, i didn't see any silvering when i applied them, so i wasn't expecting them to show under the flat coat. but they did!Disapprove [V] and what's worse, some of the decals disintigrated!! i was going to do the markings of 410 sqdn, but the cougar emblem broke into 2 pieces when i tried to stick them on!!Banged Head [banghead]

and the canada flag on the right side of the fin was shattered tooAngry [:(!], but i somehow managed to get it back together on the model.Angry [:(!]

sorry for the complaints.. Thanks again for the kind words!Big Smile [:D]

great!!!

About the badge, scer feel free to put it on. Normally I wouldn't want people to have the badge unless they had completed the build. But this on is different. This is a very unique GB and it lets the Members of the forum know who we are. So go ahead and keep it.

Hey gringe, I was looking at the list and it said you were doing a Kuble wagon radio version. What ever happend to it? did you switch your build somewhere down the line and I forgot to change the list?
