Erik LeijdensWelcome Hans, I've made an F a while ago and purchased an RF recently to make the trio complete 🙂

Erik LeijdensNow the F-94 is finished I can continue with my F-84G. I gave it a coat of Alclad grey primer to check for seams and scratches. I have given much attention to sanding and polishing and luckily that pays off so as good as no scratches are visible. Will give it a gloss black coat from Alclad now.

Erik LeijdensThanks Nathan and Hans! Yes it looks quite nice but I have sprayed some panels in a darker shade of aluminium but it doesn't very stand out. Looks like I grapped the wrong bottle or something! Dark beer and modelling😄

Erik LeijdensThat's true Hans. Added some more dark aluminium. Looks better now I think

Kit KabinetLooking very promising in the natural metals. Looking forward to the result with Dutch colours!

Erik LeijdensAdded the anti glare panels and orange squadron colours. The OD on the anti glare panels is Gunze aqueous, funny enough the Tamiya masking tape left some marks on it while the NMF paint does not have any problem with masking or whatsoever..

Jos JansenThis F-84 you have really painted very tight, awesome metal colors ... my compliments 👍!

Nathan DempseyLooked really red on my laptop, but on my phone it's the nicest shade of orange. Looks great Erik.

Erik LeijdensThanks mates!
@James, it's Gunze aqueous H14.
@Nathan, yes when I look in the pictures album on my phone it is orange but when looking in the web browser on my phone it looks more like red..

Erik LeijdensBut I must admit I did not made the pictures under the best light circumstances

Erik LeijdensPainted a couple of red no step areas and a red band around the fuselage. Also applied the first decals..

Jos JansenWhat a beauty Erik, great metal painting...inspiring, I purchased a MIG-17 with the idea of also painting it in a metal color 👍!

Björn SvedbergAn excellent result, as always, Erik! I love to see those NMF-planes. 👍

Erik LeijdensThanks mates!! Although I think my pictures are too dark. Think I'm gonna make a couple of new ones
22 March 2019, 10:51
Nathan DempseyWow Erik, that is a beauty! I hope my NMF are even half as nice. Great work!

JensA super nice model, the metal finish is absolutely perfect 👍, really nice to see 👍

Wim van der LuijtWow, very impressive Erik! Pic 35 has to be my favourite, you make it all look so easy 😄
