Finally got this one painted and a clear coat on it. Hope to start decals tomorrow.

Nathan Dempsey
I'm in.

Welcome Nathan.

Clifford Keesler Autor
This thing has almost as many stencils as an F-4, have spent 2 days doing them and still have the belly, bottom of the wings, tanks and pylons to go yet. Yikes.

Finally got all the decals on and a clear coat applied, now I can start some weathering.

Augie
🙂 sneaky I almost missed it

Nathan Dempsey
Looking good Clifford. You're nearly to the finish line.

Clifford Keesler Autor
Thank you Augie and Nathan. I got the wash on it today, so it is getting close.

James C
Looking forward to the end result 👍

I've had me eye on the single seater Hobby Boss kit in 1/48 for a while now... How was the basic kit?

Clifford Keesler Autor
Thank you James. The kit is not bad, fit is pretty good, you would want to get an aftermarket decal sheet as the kit ones stink. I have the Revell "C" tigermeet kit and I think it is a better kit than the Hobby Boss one, though neither have any intake detail. But I think there are resin full length intakes for both kits. I finished the wash today, now it is on to weathering with oils and final assembaly.

James C
Cool and thanks 👍

Clifford Keesler Autor
You are welcome Sir. I got the final flat coat on, and the landing gear installed today.Will try and get some pictures tomorrow.

Clifford Keesler Autor
Thank you very much Roland, your kind words mean a lot.

Neil
Great work mate 👍 I have this one in the stash also, following with interest 🙂

Augie
Thats come out bloody well 🙂

Alexander
Awesome work Cliffort, I also like the colorful vertical stabilizer that adds more contrast to the otherwise grey bird. Is it finished already or are you putting any armament on it? In any case, it looks very good already! 👍

Clifford Keesler Autor
Thank you very much Neil, Augie and Alexander, your kind words are much appearicated. @ Alexander, she will get a full weapons load, 2 Scalp ALCM, 3 drop tanks and 4 missiles.

Alexander
Thanks Clifford, just saw it in the pictures too. Can't wait to see the final result. 👍

Clifford Keesler Autor
Thank you Alexander. I finished it today, I will get pictures up tomorrow hopefully.

Nathan Dempsey
I'm liking that load out and I may have to copy it on my Rafale build. Well done Clifford.
