BAC Jaguar

Post by CallSignOWL »

OLD airfix kit, with little in the way of details. I added some parts to the otherwise spare cockpit, but left the rest of the kit oob. Handpainted with Testor's Enamels, and decals are from a spare Tornado sheet since the kit markings were trash.

As always, comments welcome!

I meant to comment. Im sorry. It looks great. How do you feather your colours with a brush? Thats something i never figured out. (You should know me by now, im terrible at getting things done, your 190 bits havent been posted yet, im getting there)

Is the canopy foggy? Or is it just the camera angles?
You can learn all the math in the 'Verse, but you take a boat in the air that you don't love, she'll shake you off just as sure as the turning of the worlds. Love keeps her in the air when she oughta fall down, tells you she's hurtin' 'fore she keens. Makes her a home.

The feathered edges are made when you dry brush. I paint the base camo pattern in a darker shade, then dry brush a lighter shade on the panels. Another round of dry brushing blend it all together.

The canopy is clear, i guess something funky went on with the lighting?

So the decals are from a different aircraft but those walkways look very neat. How did you get those to fit?

And what happened to the pitot tube?

It never had one. Its a second-hand kit, so I guess the piece had broken off before I even got my hands on it.
