*COMPLETED* The Scandinavian Dragon.

I surely would have chickened out to add those two struts to the front canopy...

Well done, Lucas!

Thank you Thomas.

The body is assembled, and the canopy is painted from the inside & masked from the outside. Let the painting fun begin.

Wow! This is moving along very quickly!

[Paul]

you sure don't waste any time.

Make sure you mask the canopy. Don't want to see you make the same mistake Lyle did. He masked the frame , not the glass part...

[Thomas_M]

Fast modelling!

Nothing can go wrong with the supported Eduard masks - they fit like a suit. If you go for the way theyre supposed to be of course.

Expres masks are my favorite aftermarket item.

The most parts of the body are painted - only the outsides of the intakes and small parts like antennaes are left. Those birds looked quite shabby after a while.



I wanted to go for a shabby look too, but not too exaggerated. The darker spots are overpainted tactical numbers.

Heres another one, with a even more shabby look.

and finally the masking came off. A friend is building the same machine (as a Danish version), and he warned me: "Take care about overspray, if the canopy doesnt fit tightly!" Well. Mine was much too tight, so I had to take care to get it open after all without destroying the fragile canopy parts.

Yeah! Finally I can go for detail painting and the decals.
