Started this bird last weekend to work on something else when I hit a wall with my Phantom or another project.
The usual procedure with aircraft: after I was more or less done with the cockpit I was able to close the fuselage and proceed with further construction and also painting some other parts.

Not sure if I'll succed but I want to display it on a scratchbuilt carrier deck preparing to be launched with the catapult.

Nice to have you onboard, Murad. 👍
I plan to do a similar pre-shading you did on your 1:48 Valkyrie. 🙂

Like your sci-fi projects!
Waiting to see how this one turns out.
Ps.: nice pre- shading😄

Heya, quite the crowd. Welcome mates, nice to have you all aboard. 🙂
Pre-shading is done, I think. It is not exactly like you did, Murad but I took some inspiration. Maybe I rework it a bit.
Thanks for encouraging me, mate. 👍

Bits of the pre-shading also reached my Phantom. 😄
Not so sure about the paintjob/camo. I don't think a mulitcoloured camouflage would leave a lot of the pre-shading visible. Maybe it works if I am careful.
Also thinking about printing some special markings, like a what-if squadron in Macross. Yeah, I know, a What-if in fiction... 😄

No progress on the diorama yet. I am still thinking how I will do the carrier deck, especially the catapult and the blast shield.

Edit: Thank you, Simon. 😄
You can rest assured, I got a lot of more sci-fi stuff waiting to be build.
Lately, I am getting a bit enamoured with gunpla and really want to build a Zaku and some other Mobile Suits. But it is really hard to get some or they are quite expensive.

Very interesting and unusual subject, will definitely stay for the remainder of the build. 👍

Welcome Alexander 🙂
Painting is still WIP but I am nearing completion. A few more areas to go and then I can continue with a some clear gloss coats.
Assembly will be done after decals have been applied, should be easier that way.
No progress on the diorama yet as I need to order additional materials to try myself on the carrier deck and blast shield.

Gloss coat also done. I'd like to keep different projects at a similar state.
Mostly when it is about clear coats. When it's time to apply it I'd prefer to coat multiple models at once.
Again no progress on the deck yet.

Decals done.
Many decals available but I didn't need so many of them because I painted some of the areas and took some liberties.
There are also a lot of options for aircraft numbers.

After sealing in the decals I can start with oil washes and weathering.

I'm not familiar with this sci-fi series, but looks interesting. Nice work so far 👍
