Welcome mates. Basic paint job done. Sort of F-16 scheme!

Very impressive paint job 👍 I can learn a lot about painting of uniiform areas here.

Erik Leijdens
Thanks Bughunter!

Gloss coat added. 50/50 Mr.Color GX100 and Leveling thinner.

Shar Dipree
Which airbrush (nozzle) and air pressure do you used?

9 March 2023, 21:25

Erik Leijdens
H&S evolution 0.20 nozzle 1,5bar

Fantastic paintwork Erik, looking stunning 👍

Erik Leijdens
Thanks James!

Maciej Bellos
Erik, the gloss coat looks sublime! How many coats of the GX100 did you apply? One wet one and let the leveling thinner "level" it or multiple light coats? What brand of colours did you use for the camo?

11 March 2023, 08:36

Erik Leijdens
Exactly as you described Maciej; One thin coat and let it level out. For the camo I used Mr.Color acrylics; H305 and H306

Maciej Bellos
Thanks!

Slavo Hazucha
Cheers Erik!

Vicious little jet 🙂 - like a wannabe "big boy" in the strict lo-vis colors - ready to play dirty with the Eagles and Raptors... 👍

Joining late, but with the intention to see this through to the end!

One more inspiration🙂 (I have this kit in my stash too). Pic 11 & 12: what kind of airbrush did you use for such fine preshading structures?

1 April 2023, 03:54

Erik Leijdens
Welcome Slavo and Bernhard! I have used my H&S evolution 0.15 for the preshading Bernhard. This one was on hold for a short time too because of the kit decals which are rubbish, ordered a Miliverse sheet from Singapore which look great.

Erik Leijdens
Started decaling with the Miliverse Singapore Tigers sheet. Great decals, there are a lot but there's enough for two machines. Also decals for a two seater are present so I don't need to use them all luckily enough.

Maciej Bellos
Looks great Erik!

Finally added some end pictures, this one is done for a while already but never made the time to take some pictures of it.

Great result! Congratulations on a great build!

Nathan Dempsey
Definitely a great result. Makes me want to pick up an RF-5 kit.

27 July 2023, 15:39

Shar Dipree
Yes, I feel the same way. I will also built a RF-5 at some point.
Very nice RF-5.
