Pierre Looking great indeed. Always curious to see how modellers tackle this so that I know what to do when I finally build that plane.
19. February at 18:46:33
Michael Phillips Thanks James and Pierre!

James, I lightly sprayed Alclad Airframe Aluminum over the entire aircraft, except the masked areas of lighter gray around the "edges" of the aircraft, nose, intakes, and canopy. Very easy to do and seems to give the effect I am looking for so far.

Pierre, there are many ways to do this, but I had never seen anyone do it the way I did. I have seen pre-sheen and mixed metallic paints before, but not post camo paint. We shall see how this looks after a wash and flat coat. If I lose too much sheen, I can always go back and lightly spray some more.
20. February at 05:15:27
Michael Phillips Tonight was all masking and painting of the lighter gray from some of the interior panels. Nothing difficult, just a bit time consuming. Tomorrow I will mask and paint the darker (almost black) panels on the upper and lower side. After that it is decal time!
20. February at 05:17:08
Black Baron Looking good.
20. February at 09:12:08
Tim Heimer Yes it is! Hope mine comes out half as good. Michaels talent with planes and some of these other guys is just mind blowing.
20. February at 14:42:01
Michael Phillips Thanks BB and Tim!

Those are some very kind words Tim, I truly appreciate it! It is always a thrill to know my work can inspire someone and it drives me to keep going and to try to improve my own craft as I go along. :)

Michael Phillips Thanks Roland!

I actually just drill two small holes into the fuselage underside then let the self-tapping screws do the rest. Using two screws makes the attachment very secure, so I never worry about that. I have seen some people cut out holes in the assembly process of a build then superglue in nuts then attach with bolts, but I am never that foresighted when I am building LOL. By the time the fuselage is assembled it's too late to go that route. But since this works for me, I will continue that way. :)

Demigod Really good work and a splendid paint job, as always! It's not easy to make these blues look realistic, but you nailed it!
9. October 2019 at 17:58:46
Maciej Bellos First things first: congrats for the splendid model. And congrats for your fourth first place this year! Fingers crossed for the next comp!
9. October 2019 at 20:13:54
Jim J Wow! . Fantastic execution on a really attractive camo scheme. Perfect.
10. October 2019 at 00:11:20
Michael Phillips Thanks Slavo, Murad, Tim, Spanjaard, Demigod, Maciej, and Jim! I appreciate all the compliments and congrats on my win!

I think this has moved into the pantheon of my favorite model I have built, slightly edging out the Su-30MKM. I really love this particular camo scheme and am really proud of how it turned out.
10. October 2019 at 17:31:16
Spanjaard with good reason Michael :)

9. October 2019 at 20:16:33
Michael Phillips I have not yet had a chance to check it out because it is currently on the slow boat from HK (Lucky Model $10 flat ground rate). So I wont have this, the Su-35, or the Mirage 2000B/D/N for about a month. :)

But I have heard some nice reviews on the plastic detail and accuracy, so I am excited to get my hands on it!
10. October 2019 at 17:29:04
Patrick Hagelstein I opened the box last week and was flabbergasted about the quality and sad at the same time because I first want to finish my aggressor...... :( But after that's finished, I'll get to building this one in the lizard wrap around! Looking at the sprues and the finely detailed parts, this kit is awesome!!! :D
10. October 2019 at 18:23:15
Maciej Bellos Oh boy, that's one kit in the wishlist! Thanks Patrick! Since some German Starfighters ended up serving in the Hellenic Air Force as surplus aircraft, that's an even more tempting model to build.
10. October 2019 at 19:51:19
Murad ÖZER if i could get my hands on one of these i'd build me a nasa spiffy nasa test aircraft.

Slavo Hazucha I hope you make it, it's a big show! Still re-checking how well the weathering went! Sea flankers age in a different way & you got it spot on! One can really feel the soot & grime from the Admiral Kuznetzov's old rusty funnel in the panel lines ;)

18. August 2019 at 00:30:04
Nathan Dempsey Woooo!
18. August 2019 at 01:49:01
Patrick Hagelstein :D Good choice!
18. August 2019 at 04:58:59
Slavo Hazucha Michael you know what kind of decision help you can expect when you offer a choice of 2 great looking options :D
18. August 2019 at 06:11:00
Daniel awesome! this was your only way out of it without disappointing half of scalemates :D I'm looking forward to both birds

Michael Phillips Thanks for the tips Maciej, F-16 blocks tend to confuse me. Small mouth, Large mouth, GE, PW, gear doors, strengthening plates... I will have to go look and see what is in the C kit.
16. August 2019 at 21:34:47
Elias Prokopiou Please go for the F-16D!!!

Michael Phillips Thanks Patrick, that link is AWESOME! It answers pretty much any Block related F-16 question. I really appreciate you posting that!
18. August 2019 at 00:25:50
Michael Phillips So I have made my decision... I am going to build the F-16D.... AAAAAAAAND the F-15DJ Japanese Aggressor! :)

I will do the F-16D first, as it will be a considerably faster build (the Hasegawa F-16C I built a few years ago was very easy to build, if my memory serves me correct)
18. August 2019 at 00:29:15
Patrick Hagelstein :D Even better choice!

22. June 2019 at 08:34:11
Slavo Hazucha Nice load...! Will take a few more inches of the runway to get airborne but all will be fine in the end... :) Lovely details on the bomb & missile pylons too - are these OOB or aftermarket?
22. June 2019 at 11:16:28
Nathan Dempsey Great loadout! I bought the Hasegawa set for my kit as well...

Slavo, the AAM-3s are OOB, but the rest are all from the Hasegawa JASDF Weapons Set.

Michael Phillips As requested, here are some pics of how I make my own in-flight bases. Needed are:

12" aluminum bar (36" original length cut to size)
Piano Black Glossy Black Plaque Blank
4 self-tapping wood screws
Plastic Baseball Card Holder
Information Card created in Illustrator to the size of a standard baseball card
Blu-Tac
Drill
Short Phillips Screw driver

I will be happy to answer any questions anyone might have.

27. June 2019 at 03:37:00
Donald Dickson II Did you do anything to reinforce the area of the model the screws went in?
27. June 2019 at 03:42:04
Michael Phillips I did not. It is quite secure using the size screws I used as well as the fact there are two of them.
27. June 2019 at 03:45:58
Donald Dickson II Cool. I just wasn't sure if the plastic would be thick enough to not have the screws tear out or anything.
27. June 2019 at 03:51:19
Mark Norfolk Very neat Michael. Very neat indeed- I really like that. And the idea in the first place...!
27. June 2019 at 04:31:47
Sybar Many thanks for sharing your method. Your bases are an elegant way to display your superb models. I hope to produce a model worthy of such a base so I can attempt one.
27. June 2019 at 04:54:37
Xander Jansen Thanks for sharing !!!

25. April 2019 at 09:44:31
Michael Phillips Thanks Timothy, Erik, Ronan, and Slavo! I really appreciate the kind words.

So I got her on 'er feet and I worked on the "R2D2" senser ball thingy on the nose. Played around with molotow chrome and clear yellow and blue to get a holographic effect. I am really pleased with how it turned out. The molotow chrome on the left side of the sensor ball is very mirror like, and you can see reflections in it quite clearly. :)
26. April 2019 at 03:55:02
Nathan Dempsey That sensor looks great! The one side looks "deep". Very realistic.

Anthony D'Agostino She is a good looking bird, I will start mine after I finish my AH-6J conversions, I have two of those. One will be the A with weapons, the other with outboards for the assault team. That should be fun, just need to find clear canopies, the kit has gold shaded plastic, sucks!

8. April 2019 at 19:23:42
Anthony D'Agostino Hey Michael, I am sure that your friend and his fiancee are absolutely delighted with this rendition, and no way they could have created one even close to this level of realism. I know that feeling you have, but trust me, it is unwarranted, she is gorgeous!

Anthony D'Agostino That's a gorgeous Blackhawk you built there, love that it has the werners wings decal set as well. One question I had for you. While reading the only review attached to this kit, at the end, he claims that this kit is not a true L modification, as if is missing the larger horizontal stabilizer. Did you find a proper piece? I have this in my collection and likely to start it in a fes months, but I want to get the right specs for the decal set that I have from microscale, if I remember correctly.

Thanks in advance,

Anthony stalker6recon D'Agostino
5. April 2019 at 14:14:50
Michael Phillips Thanks for the kind words Anthony! Actually, I had no idea about the larger horz stab. My friend wanted me to build one for his Fiancee, and was not terribly concerned with extreme accuracy and just wanted me to build it OOB (except the decals).

I will keep an eye out for your build my friend, looking forward to seeing you build one!
8. April 2019 at 19:25:52
Anthony D'Agostino You will have to wait a bit, as I have two AH-6J conversions on my bench. It will be my first builds in thirty years, and I bought resin conversions because, well just building a OOB model after such a long layoff was too little a challenge for me. By the way, after even more searching and asking the gurus at arc, the rear stabilizer is fine, and I had bad info regarding that. What is different between the A and L, is the pilots step, which is ridiculously small to even see on most aircraft while flying, so not a big deal one way or the other.

I will put my birds up for scrutiny, once the first one is out of the paint booth. Cheers!

James C Gotta love the Huey! I hope Academy does a retooled version in 1/35 scale similar to their recent Cobra. Would love to build an RNZAF machine. Looking forward to this one though Michael.
