SPA Modeler

Got one of these painted up (the other is waiting on a nose cone and canopy...will go back to the stash and come back out when I break into an F-100).
Paints are the usual MM enamels...all of them are mixes. I was out of Camoflage grey for the belly...I have never found the "proper" tan...and I don't like the looks of MM's greens for SEA. The lighter green is RLM82 with some tan, while the darker green is the "proper" color, I mixed in some OD, black and tan.
Pitot tube is scratched from aluminum tubing...kit part is stupid fat.

You have a nice sun faded look from sitting out on the ramp at Korat....

Yeah, lookin' good!

Thanks guys!


Decals in place.
I skipped a lot/most of the stencils, as they are pretty bold and distracting.

DONE!!!
















And...an outside shot, natural light....not much sun out there today.



As mentioned before...the other is packed up and back in the stash, waiting for some parts. It'll probably come back out with an F-100...whenever the gumption strikes. I'm a bit 105'ed out.
