Never seen so much writing on a missile

WOW Mick that side winder looks real an tbh i think if it was a real missle there would be a lot more writeing but well done very nice job an thats the good thing about a big scale kit you get all these decals to fit on an to me it makes it look more real than ever like on a 1/72 scale model very well done my freind

Americans love their warning labels …
Hi Chris, had an enjoyable day yesterday and hope you did too. I’m working with actual pics on this build and to be honest there’s only a couple of minor stencils missing. It won’t be long now until I remove that canopy as it’s a spare from the kit I’ve used while painting
Don’t they just
YES THEY do as i'll never forget the very first phantom i saw was more like reading a book there were so many warnins signs on it took me well over a hr to read just some of them writeing everywhere

Wow !
Thanks gents and it’s a momentous day as I have officially finished the decals. I finished spraying the speed brakes and 2 GBU-31 JDAM bombs, these bits accounted for the last 8 decals. Time to touch up some areas of the plane then onto weathering.

You must be well pleased Mike, or as one of my Grandsons would say " that's well sick ":anguished:
The light at the end of the tunnel is definitely in sight now.
Mick
I bet your glad to have those behind you.
I bet your glad to have those behind you.
Definitely, time for some dirt now
And so it begins, first stage of the external weathering. Liberal coats of Flory models dark dirt wash.
That’s the terrifying stage…..I always think “what if it doesn’t come off”…..
I looked at the picture before reading your post and thought "What the b****y hell has happened" I imagined some kind of disaster but then read it was Flory Wash :smiling: :thumb2:
Looking superb now mick, ( well it will be once all that muck is cleaned off ! ) The hundreds of stencils are a grind arent they but once done it really lifts a model to the next level , especially on things like the stores . Nearly there now , top work mate , cheers tony
