A nice little OOB(almost) project of this beautiful fighter bomber to hold the mojo..

Cockpit is looking great! I look forward to seeing the markings applied to this kit.

Thanks Nathan. This is a very nice kit, fit and details are very good.

Welcome Hans, I've made an F a while ago and purchased an RF recently to make the trio complete 🙂

Now the F-94 is finished I can continue with my F-84G. I gave it a coat of Alclad grey primer to check for seams and scratches. I have given much attention to sanding and polishing and luckily that pays off so as good as no scratches are visible. Will give it a gloss black coat from Alclad now.

A very beautiful authentic airplane, I will definitely follow this one...nice start Erik! 👍

Thanks Nathan and Hans! Yes it looks quite nice but I have sprayed some panels in a darker shade of aluminium but it doesn't very stand out. Looks like I grapped the wrong bottle or something! Dark beer and modelling😄

That's true Hans. Added some more dark aluminium. Looks better now I think

Looking very promising in the natural metals. Looking forward to the result with Dutch colours!

Added the anti glare panels and orange squadron colours. The OD on the anti glare panels is Gunze aqueous, funny enough the Tamiya masking tape left some marks on it while the NMF paint does not have any problem with masking or whatsoever..

This F-84 you have really painted very tight, awesome metal colors ... my compliments 👍!

Looked really red on my laptop, but on my phone it's the nicest shade of orange. Looks great Erik.

Thanks mates!
@James, it's Gunze aqueous H14.
@Nathan, yes when I look in the pictures album on my phone it is orange but when looking in the web browser on my phone it looks more like red..

But I must admit I did not made the pictures under the best light circumstances
11 March 2019, 06:31

Painted a couple of red no step areas and a red band around the fuselage. Also applied the first decals..

Me too Nathan, they can be seen often on tanks of Thunderjets 🙂

What a beauty Erik, great metal painting...inspiring, I purchased a MIG-17 with the idea of also painting it in a metal color 👍!
18 March 2019, 22:49

An excellent result, as always, Erik! I love to see those NMF-planes. 👍
19 March 2019, 07:43

Thanks mates!! Although I think my pictures are too dark. Think I'm gonna make a couple of new ones
22 March 2019, 10:51

Wow Erik, that is a beauty! I hope my NMF are even half as nice. Great work!
22 March 2019, 12:24

A super nice model, the metal finish is absolutely perfect 👍, really nice to see 👍
24 March 2019, 18:04

Wow, very impressive Erik! Pic 35 has to be my favourite, you make it all look so easy 😄
