Jet Provost - Airfix 1/72 - WIP

Łukasz Gliński
Watching

Soeren R. Forfatter
The cockpit is to 90% finished.
Only the decal and a washing are missing.

David Thor
I´m in, quite exotic!

Soeren R. Forfatter
Welcome Lukasz and David;)
It is indeed exotic and so far a really nice kit

Ekki
Watching too.

Soeren R. Forfatter
And as I expected a little bit of filler (more or less) is needed for this kit.
The fitting is not the best, but still good.

Łukasz Gliński
Maybe it was designed the way, the filler will prevent it from tailsitting? 😉

Soeren R. Forfatter
😄 Sadly not. That will do the weight in the nose.
The instructions said you need 25g in the nose.

Łukasz Gliński
Sounds like a lot of lead, comparing to the size of the kit

David Thor
That´s alot. Do you think the undercarriage can take it?

Harry Eder
Very nice progress, like I said in another forum 👍
I started with mine yesterday ...

Soeren R. Forfatter
Thx Harry.
Can't wait to see yours then 😉

Gordon Sørensen
Nice looking cockpit, Sören!

Soeren R. Forfatter
Thx Gordon 😉

Soeren R. Forfatter
The cockpit is now finished and the next step is to fill & sand some spots.
Hopefully I will spray some primer on it in the next couple days.

David Thor
Neat trick with the second cockpit.

Soeren R. Forfatter
It really helps and always easy to remove even if its glued with Kristal Klear.

Alex-Ovidiu Mihailescu
Looking good so far. Especially the cockpit!

Soeren R. Forfatter
Thx mate;)

Christian Bruer
very nice work so far 👍 What primer do you use?

Cheers, Christian

Soeren R. Forfatter
Thx Christian,

I used this one:
umpretail.com/collec..ate-primer-60ml-grey
A really great product and I can only recommend their products.

Christian Bruer
Thx for the information🙂

Soeren R. Forfatter
Engine is painted in Aluminium from AK Metal Xtreme and the first parts of masking are done, too.

Soeren R. Forfatter
One side of the wing got the second color and Im think it looks quite good so far.

Soeren R. Forfatter
Some minor adjustments on the Dark Earth are still to do and after that the walk way and the black on the nose.

David Thor
Love how clean your build and paintjob looks. Good work, keep it up!

Soeren R. Forfatter
Thx a lot David 😉

Christian Bruer
Yep, very nice work 👍

Soeren R. Forfatter
🙂 Thank you Christian.

Soeren R. Forfatter
Thx James 😉

Gordon Sørensen
The camouflage looks great, Soren!

Soeren R. Forfatter
Thanks a lot Gordon. 🙂
Ive now painted the anti-glare black on the nose.
Only thing missing now are the walk ways and then the paint job should be done. 🙂

Łukasz Gliński
That's quick, wish my paintjob were so fast... 😉
Btw. what's that transparent jig you use?

Soeren R. Forfatter
😉

Its from vertigo-minitures.com

Alex-Ovidiu Mihailescu
Looks great, camouflage came out great. I wish I could work so fast !

Stephan Ryll
looking good Sören 👍

Soeren R. Forfatter
Thx mates 😉

Soeren R. Forfatter
The first walkway is now painted in Tire Black from Gunze.
Think it looks much better than a decal. 🙂

Erik Leijdens
Nice clean build Sören. Bought me Strikemaster in 1/48 recently, nice aircraft! Yours is turning out great, off course!

Soeren R. Forfatter
Thx mate. Glad that you re like it. 🙂 Btw it isnt so clean at all- especially the under side has some flaws.

Clifford Keesler
Looking good.

Soeren R. Forfatter
Thx Clifford. 🙂
90% of the Decals are now applied - only some stencils on the belly are missing, which I will do later.

Łukasz Gliński
These markings look grand

Soeren R. Forfatter
Bottom is almost finished,too. Sadly I noticed that the kit will be tailsitter, even with weight in the nose.
With that problem I decided to glue it on the base - lucky for me, because you dont see the not so good belly in the end 😉

Maciej Bellos
Pretty exotic indeed. South Arabian Air Force, I had to google it to find out what's it all about. Waiting for the end result.

Finished 😉

Łukasz Gliński
That was quick

Soeren R. Forfatter
It had to be finished for our Club meeting tonight 😄

Clifford Keesler
It looks good. My Canberra ended up a tail sitter, even with 8oz of lead in the nose. So it to will get glued to a base.

Soeren R. Forfatter
I glued it too
