I found no compelling evidences this 109 was actually brown, looks like there are some disputes over it; but anyway, I enjoyed painting an unusual color scheme

Neuling
Well done!

test mule? I want my cars to look like that! 🙂

Very nice work! 👍🏻

Maciej Bellos
Beautiful work Ł!

I have one in 48th, it will be as rare as yours, but more exotic: a Fillipino! Yeah I know, a boring silver bird, with unique roundels.

Looking forward to the sunny photos and your next project.

Neuling
One of my favorite aircraft. Built in a luxury version. Very beautiful colors and shading!

Excellent stuff CaptGPF!👍🏻

Neuling
Top. Looks like a bigger scale model.

Great work!

I never paint the hull parts separately, because they need to get sanded along the seam to get a perfect fit. But it would ease the painting of course.

I would do the same thing but i wanted to be cautious and not have to worry about accidentally painting the other side and ruining it. Ill try your way when i buy and build my next model ship and see if its easier. Thanks

By the way, I also made a Theodore Roosevelt a long time ago.

I'll say the interior is done. SO let's face the fact, that I have to lay hands on the body.

Chris Parsons
Very nice crisp clean work...well done

Neuling
Beautiful! Orange and lemon. 🙂

Rui S
Well done 👍
It deserves a base 🤔

Gary Victory
Really nice weathered finish. Nice job Gordon.

Greg Baker
Thanks Cuajete. It might be a LITTLE bit darker than I was going for, but close enough for me. It looked lighter in the airbrush cup, but I suspect the darker undercoat is at play here.

Got the windows in place. I used an old iPhone screen protector plastic cut to fit. For the interior windows I glued it them in place with some very small dabs of CA glue and then a brush of Future. However, for the open doors, I used the thinner "peel off plastic" that's supposed to keep the iPhone protector nice and clear until it's applied. Then I dipped them in Future and applied them directly to the doors. Let's hope there's enough adhesion once the Future dries. It SHOULD work, since I did the same thing on my Tintin Model T project for the windscreen. But that was flat… these have a bit of a curve to them.

george larson
nice!

Not many sports airplanes on this site. This one is a nice live one 👍

Cortex
Very well done, I recently finished this model and it's not a delightful kit but you've done a great job fixing and enhancing it!

Robert Podkoński
Fantastic!

Michał Kozub

The application of the approximately 250 decals is now complete, which was not easy because they are extremely thin and curl up quickly. Now some repair work needs to be done.

I'm in too ! Heller have to be granted for having made those big aircraft, as well as the Constellation !
For sure, there is plenty of room for personnal improvments...
Good luck !

You are incredibly talented, Mr James. That honestly does look like metal.

Watching. Interior looks great

Thank you!

CAT4 coming to the rescue with what seems like a nice set of parts that can backdate the Hasegawa F-8E. While we all really want a full kit tooled by someone, getting conversion kits is the next best thing, and the ones out there are all but impossible to obtain, and none of them really capture the shape of the nose very well. Not anymore, for the moment at least. Tonight I got a good look at the nose shape of the new kit and find it compares well to reference photos. Next up is seeing how it fits on the F-8 fuselage, which means some plastic surgery.

Rando
Added some more photos comparing the kits with 1:48 F-8C scale drawings from the Muroc kit. So far I like the overall shape, but the front plate where the radome connects makes the nose a little too long overall. Might just need to shave it down and blend the shape some.

CAT4 has released an improved version of their nose. While the measurements don't appear to be perfect, it's better than the original and I'd feel much better about incorporating it into a kit. Seamless intake is a huge plus too 👍

Clifford Keesler
I do not remember if I told you how beautiful that bird turned out to be, if I did not I am now. Beautiful job Jennifer, a real beauty.

Jennifer Franklin
Aw, thanks, Clifford, that means a lot.

Ray Loch
Bill Thanks for that info Ray

The Iron Tadpole - very nice!

Another Beauty 👍

Lebloge
Splendid !

subotai
Looking good! Are that rubber tracks? The discription says it´s not?

andreabarks
Subotai, nope they are plastic track links. Quite finnicky but much more rewarding

Spent most of the morning sealing up the wheel wells and cockpit with tissue paper in preparation for primer and the initial color: AK Xtreme Aluminum.

Ben M
You could have just started with the Hawk plated kit 😂 I'm thinking of trying chipping fluid on the prop but I will need to prime at least under the yellow tips.
