Hey guys so this will be my entry for the Easter SIG.

Image

On with the sprue shots.
Image

Image

The kit comes with 2 pilot figures on similar to the box art and one more standard offering.

Clear parts are nice and clear.
Image

The decal sheet is nice and beats some other manufacturer mainstream offerings!
Image

The instructions are nice and clear. This will be a nice easy build.
Image

Image

Thats all for now. Planning on the build tonight so more tomorrow. :th:

So got this built.

Alittle cleanup to do but not a difficult build.

The pilot canopy and gear are not glued.

Will be getting some primer on this today ready for painting at the weekend!

Right so after along gap its update time.

After some initial issues with primers due to grease/dirt on the kit.

Painting has begun.

Image
Pilot all painted up just need to clean up the wash and give it a flat coat.
The eyes are decals and went down great.

Image
Landing gear hit with white then painted the tyres in.

Image
Cockpit, intakes and exhausts were hit with NATO black. And the gear bays in white.

So next will be installing the pilot and masking and fitting the canopy.

So next update.

Been working on getting this done the last couple of days so on with the pics.

Pilot was flat coated and the canopy was fixed in place.

Then a overall coat of light grey was added for the main pant work.
Image
I decided to freehand the camo.
Image
engine exhausts painted in with some gun metal paint.
Image
Then gloss and decals.
Image
Flat coat and done!
Image

So pop over to the final reveals for the finished pics.
