I don’t know if all of this will survive the build process, but I wanted to have proof that I actually pulled it off.

The gloss wasn’t as smooth in some places, so I’ll need to go back with a brush and some mineral spirits to clean up or blend in some of the bleed.

This may be overdone. I’ll look at it again in a few hours. It may need to be toned down a little.

Nice clean camo, looks great!

Andy Ball
very 'nam-ified camo!
Is it a good kit, fit-wise?

gasolier
YES! Keep us apprised!

Keeping track on this one.

@Andy Ball, fitting the wings flush to the fuselage took some work, and the two halves of the fuselage don't quite match up around the nose. Otherwise, everything has gone together very well. I highly recommend this one

Just noticed this is a 1:72 - even more impressive!

Great looking camo.

Mr James
Agree with Michael, and nicely weathered

Weathering is nearly finished. I'll seal with another matte coat, and then it's on to final assembly. I've never weathered a plane this extensively before, but I can see why people like their birds dirty.

This is looking great!

Great finish! The paint is spectacular

Thank you, @Ben! It feels like it all came together for me on this build.

Very nice work.

gasolier
Outstanding result! How come you choose a payload with agm-12 bullpup? Did this machine performed a specific mission?

Neuling
Excellent paintwork and shading!

Ogre-Trombone
@gasolier, that's a good question. It was one of the options provided by the kit, and I liked the look of them. I think they used the Bullpup against fortified positions and bunkers, but someone with more knowledge than me would have to answer.

Now that's how the SEA camo should look like, amazing work 👏🏻

Congrats on finishing, just beautiful. Don't know whether that's the what the SEA colors should look like, but this is exactly how I imagine them 🙂 . Well done!

Thank you all for your kind words. It's truly appreciated!
