JTRACING Posted April 4, 2015 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!
Roadrunner Posted April 4, 2015 Posted April 4, 2015 Good start. I have an old Monogram Harrier around here somewhere. Cool airplane.
JTRACING Posted April 5, 2015 Author Posted April 5, 2015 thanks man! got some work done today on the landing gear. still working on the nose gear.
JTRACING Posted April 8, 2015 Author 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.
atomicholiday Posted April 9, 2015 Posted April 9, 2015 Your painting and detailing skills are really nice. Very realistic. Looking forward to seeing more.
JTRACING Posted April 10, 2015 Author Posted April 10, 2015 thanks guys! got the exhaust painted up today
JTRACING Posted April 13, 2015 Author 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

Roadrunner Posted April 15, 2015 Posted April 15, 2015 Looks real nice. You built this puppy fast too.
mustang1989 Posted April 15, 2015 Posted April 15, 2015 Super build James!!!! I love this aircraft to begin with and you've completed an excellent representation of this bird. I'll never be able to build this fast!
Cato Posted April 15, 2015 Posted April 15, 2015 Beautiful build. I am amazed you got Dupli lacquer on without eating the acrylics.
JTRACING Posted April 15, 2015 Author Posted April 15, 2015 Beautiful build. I am amazed you got Dupli lacquer on without eating the acrylics. Thanks guys!, I use the duplicolor on every kind of paint, never had a problem, it's the acrylic lacquer one.
