Nathan Dempsey АвторUpdating some of my previous ghost builds. This one is just about ready for primer now. The kit is quite nicely engraved, however the fit is VERY challenging.

Nathan Dempsey АвторŁukasz, I hope your 1:72 kit is the Eastern Express one. I built the Toko one years ago and it would have been easier to just sand the shape of the An-72 from a solid block of plastic. 😄

Nathan Dempsey АвторDoh! It wasn't really THAT bad. It did require some putty and sandpaper though. 😄

Nathan Dempsey АвторAdded a shot for the replacement of the wing mounted rocket pods. The kit one is just a basic shape. Instead of spending hours with a micro drill I just replaced the pods with a pair off my Academy Su-25 kit.

Nathan Dempsey АвторWelcome Dutch & Robert! I'm hoping to get back to this one soon. I do need to make more time for my 1:144 builds...

Nathan Dempsey АвторOk, this one is back on. Today I painted all the leading edges with AK Xtreme Aluminum.

Nathan Dempsey АвторHey Dutch, they are using these as border patrol. I guess they mean business! ?
Today I applied light blue to the underside.

Nathan Dempsey АвторToday I had time to paint the light tan, apply the masking & paint the orange-brown. I only remembered to take a pic at the end ?.

Nathan Dempsey АвторThank you very much Jorge & Dutch!
I have now applied the green and there's only one more color to go. It's looking a bit crude right now, but let's see if I can pull a rabbit out of my hat.

Nathan Dempsey АвторThe final color has been applied and I have removed almost all of the mask. There's still a little clean up, and a couple of areas that will need touch up. After that I'll add another clear coat and appply the decals.

DutchNathan, That is one cool camouflage scheme! Kind of like our Asia Minor scheme, but with brighter colors! K/r, Dutch

Łukasz GlińskiDutch, on the other hand it reminds me of the early Lakotas 🙂

James CUnusual looking, but very cool subject. Very nice job on the camouflage scheme 👍

Nathan Dempsey АвторAlthough there are a couple of extremely tiny photo-etch antennas to attach, I'm calling this one complete. A challenging but fun little kit.

DutchNathan, another beautiful build of an interesting subject. I congratulate you, sir. K/r, Dutch
