Thanks Michael and Sören! I still have some little touches to add to the cockpit, but so far this kit really goes together quickly. The fit is very nice. The IP detail was a little sparse and soft, but other than that I am impressed with the kit so far.

Thanks Spanjaard and James! Yeah, I am really moving quickly on this, despite not doing any work one day and not spending a huge amount of time on it this past weekend. It has been 1 week since I started this project. This AMK kit fits very nicely, and builds up quite quickly. I really am enjoying this kit! I hope to finish priming some of the other random bits and maybe doing some pre-shading tonight. Stay tuned!

Good one and a very quick build Michael. I think you'll finish this before I finished mine 😄

Thanks Ali! I am a very fast builder, and I get a good 1-2 hours every night to work on my projects, and even more on weekends. The downside to that is my work will never be "showstopping", as I am just not into super detailing or scratchbuilding. I usually only fix only the most glaring kit errors. But the plus side is I always have a new project coming next in short order, so I never get bored with a build. I have completed every build I have started (except my very first one), and only build one at a time. I know, I'm weird! LOL

Anyway, I look forward to seeing yours progress!

damn, you get as many hours to build in a day than I have in a week at the moment... New misses, new rules...

Ouch Bart, that sucks!!! I am glad my wife (of almost three years now) is supportive of my hobby time. In fact she encourages it, keeps me out of her hair for a bit. LOL

Now once we have children, that may change...

do not forget that you need to get them into the hobby when they are young😉 that may give you more modelling time, instead of less😉

Got two of the four main colors painted tonight. Will do the rest tomorrow... I have the day off. 🙂

I like the camo so far but does the marble technique work as good on camo aircraft compared to aircraft that are painted grey?🤔

Michael Phillips
I have never done if before on a camo aircraft, so I am going to find out... so far it seams to look good. I have mostly covered the preshading up with heavier coats, to keep it very subtle.

Looking great Michael! Will it be a Israeli Kfir or a F-21 agressor?
9 December 2016, 06:48
Michael Phillips
Thanks Erik! It will be Israeli using OOB decals.

Thanks Michael, I'm going to try it out today on my R.A.A.F F-4E.
