  1. I had a buddy who did the panels is various shades and masked them with Post-It notes, sticky edge toward the panel. He was an IPMS guy and his planes look beautiful with the multi-shaded panels.
  2. Coming along nicely, Rob. Your "distressing" of the engine panels came out great.👍
  3. He's turned out nicely Jack. 👍 Waiting for Vadim. I have an app named Hobby Color Converter on my Android phone. It's used to give you color equivalences for hobby paints. If instructions give you Fed Spec colors or Gunze colors, you can look up many other equivalent paints in other lines. The other feature for me is the hobby news portion. It gives you new releases for a/c, armor, auto, figures, fantasy figures (like Ianis), Model Shipwrights, model railroading and some more in-depth reviews. The shipwrights and railroad announcements are pretty thin, but since this is from the Kit Maker website, their website coverage in these areas is kind of minimal. I check in every other day or so to see what's new on the site.
  4. James, your chipping looks pretty good. Our Phantoms took a beating on the canopy rails, since they were convenient for a myriad of tasks, by we aircrew and especially the maintainers. The cockpit floors were generally the underlying metal colors as were the canopy rails. Areas around the cannon feed systems should be beat up by the loaders, although the invasion stripes would :freshen up" that area. Keep up the good work. 👍
  5. Sheesh, I remember so many of the earlier kits with the gaps and dihedral issues. Very nice save with the thin strips and Mr Surfacer products. 👍
  6. Hmm, oil field pump or whirly bird? Will the pump be automated or static? Automation would be cool, but it's your build, your choice.
  7. Interesting build there, Jack. What's the doohickey on his back and arm? Odd flame-thrower or an adult beverage dispenser?
