So.. ducts together.. weathering into cockpit started before detailing.

I've really been struggling with the F-111, I ordered a set of resin wheels a month ago and still don't have them,so kind of lost intrest. On a happier note I got informed today that Hobbylinc finally got their shipment of the new Revell 1/32 F-4Gs So my backorder should be filled soon.

Funky 🙂 fingers crossed.
an dont loose interest.. Had that with the A-7..

Cockpit done, just about .. now just the seats to do before sealing it up
2 April 2015, 20:14

another update for you all..
Seats are done.. and we have instrument panels.. quite like how they have come out.
4 April 2015, 18:02

Hi Augie! Excellent control panels and lovely seats. This will be another gem made by You!
4 April 2015, 18:10

Hey Augie those control panels came out well ! 🙂
Please tell me they are decals that you have used other wise I shall fall into a pit of despair if you say you hand painted them😉
Just kidding but either way, looking good !! 😄
4 April 2015, 21:54

Lol Sorry chaps..that is a mix of both decals and painting. with a pre-wash
4 April 2015, 22:47

haha 🙂 either way it is your best looking control panel thus far ! 🙂
4 April 2015, 23:01

I am excited how it will look finished and how the quality of the kit is!
5 April 2015, 07:08

Many thanks gentlemen I'm glad your liking.
This is definitely a great kit, airfix really have done well
5 April 2015, 08:03

The worlds most ugly, series build airplane!😄 But your work on the kit is great, as usual, Augie!
The panellines look a bit washed out, are they?
5 April 2015, 08:15

Thanks Holly,
the panel lines are very crisp maybe a little deep for but they will take paint and washes well
5 April 2015, 08:20

Excellent work on the instrument panel. The pit will look good once closed up.
5 April 2015, 09:32

So, Cockpit shot.. showing what it looks like together..
then the other .. body together and silver on it
9 April 2015, 21:05

thanks chaps 🙂 the silver seems to be ok so far.. might need a future coat to balance tones
10 April 2015, 07:23

So Chaps.. the results of more hours than I care to think trying to get this dayglow right..
Still not perfect.. and very tempted to strip it down to plastic and start again..might explain the new RF-84G I have been looking at
12 April 2015, 18:17

Excellent Augie, glad you sorted the fluorescent, looks perfect. As Mike said... Wow!!! 👍
12 April 2015, 20:39

Hello Augie
Really nice build! I specially like the way you did the daglo, and with a brush is even more amazing the way it turn! Looking forward to see it finished.
25 April 2015, 09:07

Oddly enough.. I have just seen something thats given me a change of heart... and scheme..
27 April 2015, 19:48

Looking very nice Augie! On what brand of fluo paint did you settle in the end?
27 April 2015, 19:50

Hi Kees, It was a old Revel one I had kicking around thinned heavily..
Oddly tho.. I am actually considering stripping it and re-doing it in tactical camo.. saw a picture of a gnat in it and it really looks good..
Or I might just buy another lol..
27 April 2015, 19:53

...
Cor!!! Augie, really twisted yer! arm eh! Lol (((😄 ))) You truly are a proper modeller...👍
28 April 2015, 07:15

Lol aye... took a lot of convincing
Guido, your seat is reserved Sir😉
28 April 2015, 11:36

completely agree with everyone - great painting and too good to be stripped
28 April 2015, 16:17

🙂 thanks guys and yeah its ok.. this one not being stripped.. I have the ultra fine sandpaper i need to repair a few spots so second Gnat order going in.
28 April 2015, 17:12

Looks totally awesome Augie, wish I could brush paint that well. LOL.
29 April 2015, 02:37

Augie, Again your impressing everyone, and I do like your instrument panels mate. 🙂
29 April 2015, 14:57

you might have to get a third one to do the Red Arrows scheme too😉
"Gnat" what you were expecting ? 😄
Anyhow, it would be a sweet looking trio
29 April 2015, 17:41

Augie, Mate, Your giving air brushing a bad name.:-/
Just wonderful and patient work. 🙂
10 May 2015, 20:40

Such a colourful addition to your display Augie! Another example of your miracle hand brush😉
11 May 2015, 17:07

that is one really cute model Augie !
when one sees a nice example of a build it makes it very tempting to get one 🙂
11 May 2015, 17:35

thanks choppa 🙂 I was supprised how small it was.. its even smaller than a A-4
11 May 2015, 18:52

Your one hell of a competent scale modeller Augie and you never fail to surprise.
Well done again. 🙂
11 May 2015, 20:37

Choppa, I have a A-4, will get some pictures of it to compare
Thanks Kerry 😄
11 May 2015, 20:47

Gorgeous lawn dart! Be careful playing with it.
What did you use for the cockpit grime? Looks awesome.
13 May 2015, 02:15

Thanks Chaps..
And.. dare I say it.. she's done. one slight goof.. but overall very very happy with it.
17 May 2015, 20:37

I look forward to your next Gnat 🙂 will it be camo or arrow ? 😄
btw nice that you left the canopy open, anymore piccies of the cockpit ?
17 May 2015, 21:06

There is an echo down here Augie. LOL. absolutely, well done.
Consistency in everything you do. 🙂
17 May 2015, 22:35

...
Jesus! Augie... How could've you even thought of strippin' it???😮
18 May 2015, 06:51

LOl trust me.. I needed 3000 grit sandpaper to get it looking as good as it does.. that be why
18 May 2015, 16:47

Very nice job Augie. Did you ever see the finished pictures of my F-4F? They are in a separate album from the WIP pictures.
19 May 2015, 14:53

It is looking very good . 👍👍👍 I'm glad you have not changed it into another color scheme
19 May 2015, 20:15

I want to know how you get silver to look so good brush painting it. LOL.
