F-84F Thunderstreak

Christian Ristits
Some WIP of my new project...on the first sight the Italeri parts (specially the instrument panel) look less detailed, so I tried to do my best with my brush. I also added some belts from a F-104...at the end I am quite happy with the result.

Very very nice Christian

Christian Ristits
Thank you both, glad you like it!

Christian Bruer
Well Christian this is a promising start. The cockpit looks great! I have this kit in my stash too. Nicely detailed but the panel lines are a bit to deep.

Well Christian what an extensive WIP🙂 Just two steps – cockpit, fuselage and wings – and bingo finish!
Well done so far, painting and weathering look very good. Do you use ALCLAD?

Dear Christian and Roland, I first started with gloss black as primer, made some pre-shading with gloss white. The main-coat is Revell Silver, highlighted with Revell Iron/dark grey. Cheers, Christian
