WOW that looks soooo good !!! It looks really cool in black trey , like the Blackbirds older, better looking sister LOL !!! Cant wait to see the final white coat, its huge now too, by my rough calculations it must be a few inches short of three foot long!! keep the pics coming , cheers tony

Thanks Fellas and Gern true a big no-no with a dark base but was trying for a effect and it failed as explained in the pics. Colin I think you're spot on with the turning radius!Tony.close 2'8"

The base white went down no problems

Was hoping to wet sand it down and have the black undercoat accent the panel lines,epic fail here.

Regrouped and decided just to respray the white put the decals down

Going with a Urethane clear top coat with some fast hardner

Who is that masked Man?

The clear is on and waiting to kick off

Wow, this is impressive. It looks great now the decals are on.

That picture of you spraying the model really shows off how big it is.No wonder you need a spray gun instead of an airbrush!.

 

[aaron]

Thats huge,

Its always good to have a figure, even if its just to show scale hehe

I agree looks great decaled

Fan-bloody-tastic Trey, love it, the sheer size of it is impressive and the finish looks great, good job!

 

[Guest]

Trey, that's a great looking model! Really sharp. How will you display her?

 

[InFlames]

Fantastic work so far! I wasn't aware it's that huge!

Have you decided what to do with the exhausts? I just noticed Armory makes PE ones for Valkyrie

 

[Guest]

I had no idea it looked that big either. It looks great.
