Sven Schönyan Even when it´s too hot outside for a proper venting of my room after airbrushing doesn´t mean I cannot glue some parts together. Today´s work saw the fitting together of nearly all subassemblies. So now I hope for cooler weather - without painting I cannot go on....

Sven Schönyan ... and today I could go on with painting! I used the rainy day with comfortable temperatures to airbrush the wheelbays, air intake and cockpit using FS17875 and FS36231.

Slavo Hazucha Nice job with the ABT Sepia - a light shadow accent being all the nice parts really needed Pit & seat coming along nicely too...

Sven Schönyan Thank you Slavo! Yes, I´m more in for a rather subtle weathering. Normally I´m building carrier aircrafts which sometimes have an extremely dirty appearance in the wheelbays. USAF planes aren´t that dirty as far as I noticed. So an very, very diluted Sepia came to use here which represents my desired effect.
Ingmar Stöhr Despite all worries you had this one is a real beauty. I really like the overall look and your weathering is spot on. You can be proud of this one!
Alex Sehr schick, Sven! Hab' zwar schon zwei Phantoms, aber bei der Airfix bin ich immer noch am Überlegen, ob ich stark bleiben soll! Ist die OOB?

Sven Schönyan Hi Alex, ja die ist OOB. Der Kit hat viele Bauteiltrennungen, weil man mehrere Zustände darstellen kann. Nach dem Lackieren und dank des umfangreichen Decalbogens fällt das kaum mehr auf. Es liegen viele Außenlasten bei, aber die sollte man gegen Resinteile austauschen. Um mir das zu sparen, hatte ich alles weggelassen. Das mache ich beim nächsten 48er Modell wieder.
