  Working on putting the IIAF markings on this F-14A Tomcat. Interesting it has a mix of USN maintenance stencils on it as well. #HistScaleModels #ModelAircraft

  Further progress on my IIAF F-14 Tomcat 😺 project as the base Sand tone was sprayed to finalize the camouflage. Added the anti-glare so I could unmask it and see the results. Some touch up work but 👍🏻 #ModelAircraft #HistScaleModels

  This Weekend in The Hangar: Chipping away at a build #2 - I've also experimented with the "Hairspray Method" of chipping on this G4M1 Type 11. It can net you a very finely chipped effect.

  This Weekend in The Hangar: Chipping away at a build - One tried method to get that worn look was experimented with on my Ki-84 Hayate (Frank). See more on this method at: https://www.flypastrush.com/post/frank-s-paint-job-1-48th-otaki-ki-84-hayate-type-4-frank #HistScaleModels #ModelAircraft

  Started the upper camouflage tonight in an highly unusual fashion with the darker tones first. However with this IIAF pattern it will be easier to mask off the dark strips and spray the light sand colour last. We will see how that works out as I don’t recall doing it in this order ever before. I will need to go back and work on a few of the brown areas still as I have some areas to cleanup some and I missed a couple of recoats on the tail. Progress on the IIAF Tomcat regardless 😺 #ModelAircraft

  Managed to get a few other projects completed enough to shift focus back to the Tomcat revival for a bit. Primed first, a bit of clean-up from there and then today got around to the underside camouflage. Giving it a used but still well maintained aircraft look. Hope you all had a good weekend 😎

  Onto the finer details of my MiG-29UB (which always takes a disproportionate amount of time to complete, however it does add to the effect) Now, if I can manage not to break them off every time I touch it, I may get it to The Hangar later today. The crew is anticipating its arrival. #HistScaleModels #ModelAircraft

  Another multi-media short run kit that can produce a great model (not easily) was this Two Bobs T-2 Buckeye. The type was not available in a main-stream kit, however this and the Special Hobby releases covered Venezuelan, Hellenic as well as USN markings: #HistScaleModels #ModelAircraft https://www.flypastrush.com/post/top-gun-trainer-1-48th-two-bobs-t-2c-buckeye

  The complex/challenging builds include multi-media short run kits. If your subject isn't available as a main-stream these can get you there, but it's going to take more work. I've built a few now & this Firefly was a favourite : https://www.flypastrush.com/post/rcn-warrior-1-48th-grand-phoenix-firefly-mk-1 #HistScaleModels #ModelAircraft

  @TheNovemberMan These two recent Hasegawa ones are going to be a nice addition to the collection of Monogram versions I have built. All different schemes and I could keep going! 😎

  @TheNovemberMan Didn’t interpret that in any other way, I know how much you appreciate a kit being built 😄. Man, I do like these Aggressor paint finishes on the Skyhawks and such… just makes me want to do another 👍🏻

  @TheNovemberMan Thanks TNF 👍🏻

  @acsawdey The Phantom does possess Brutish good looks 👻 The cockpit is from the Trumpeter 1/48th T-38A Talon which has nicely raised details and includes a coloured decal for the instruments… It works rather well 👍🏻
