Nice piece of work, John! @john Like the gunpowder soot you added around the cannon barrel. Which kind of black did you use?
@alfred, thanks a lot, Alfred. For the soot color I used Vallejo 71.055 (Black Grey RLM66).
Applied some wash, applying a clear coat should be the final step for this one.
Looking good, John. @johnb I take it the final step will be to reinstall the canopy. Bit windy otherwise 😉
@alfred, thank you, Alfred. Correct, next step will be the canopy but in open position, so still windy 😃
Calling the J-636 done. Just an inspection to see if I missed some spots, well I know I did but most of them are not noticable. I'm also thinking of adding the ladder during the final photo session.
Excellent result, my friend @johnb! Adding the ladder will enhance realism. Well done!
Splendid!
Looking forward to the final photoshoot.
@fiveten, thank you, Spiros. She will be the first modern, can you still say that after 50 years, aircraft on the shelf since re-entering this hobby. @airbum, thanks, Erik. Especially for starting this group which moreless forced me to finally build a modern aircraft. It was a pleasure to do so.
Great job on the Viper, John! Glad you enjoyed building a more recent warbird.
@alfred, thanks a lot, Alfred. Awaiting a day with good daylight to take some photos. And yes, it was a great experience to build something more modern.
John vd Biggelaar (@johnb) Hello John. I congratulate you on your expertly built F-16. You have done a wonderful job with it. She looks incredible !
@lgardner, thank you, Louis. I'm pretty happy with the outcome but would not call it an expertly built 😀
Your F-16 really looks awesome, John (@johnb). It was fun following the build, which has given me some insight into what I need to do on mine. Well done.
@gblair, thank you, George. Hope to be able to do a photoshoot tomorrow. Looking forward to yours.
