JTRACING Posted April 4, 2015 Share Posted April 4, 2015 hey guys, I picked this kit up recently thought I'd start on it! I haven't built a Jet in a very long time, not since I was like 14 or so lol so this will be just out of the box. so far I made up the cockpit, I only added in some home made seat harness from masking tape and pop can metal painted with craft acrylics, as will the whole plane!

JTRACING Posted April 8, 2015 Author Share Posted April 8, 2015 I got the drop tanks painted, I used "craftsmart" acrylics, I wanted the tanks to be a different gray tone than the rest of the plane so I mixed more blue into it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JTRACING Posted April 13, 2015 Author Share Posted April 13, 2015 (edited) I got the gloss varnish (dupli-color Lacquer) on and its ready for decaling next! for color, I custom mixed up 3 shades of gray using craft acrylics, and sprayed them on at 8 psi. all the shading should really pop once it gets its flat varnish Edited April 13, 2015 by JTRACING Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
