Decals in progress, whole lot of stencils left! Those wing seams are going to bother me, oh well. Painted some AIM-9Ds, detail painting, it continues. #plasticmodels #scalemodel #72scale #italeri #revell https://ift.tt/2FPhwm4

The Italeri/Revell Kfir bottom is now a slightly different shade of gray! Vallejo IAF paint set with their airbrush flow improver. #72scale #scalemodel #revell #italeri #vallejopaints #kfir https://ift.tt/2saSdrn

Working on the Revel reboxing of the Italeri 1/72 Kfir C2. Whole lot of filling and sanding, and a little scratch building, adding detail to the instrument cowling and cockpit. #scalemodel #italeri #revellmodels #72scale #scalemodelling #kfir https://ift.tt/36uQkEW

1:72 Hasegawa F-104G 26+65 Marineflieger 1 complete! This was a fun and relatively quick build. The aftermarket Kormorans didn’t actually fit- not sure if the mounting point needed to be further out or what, so I reverted to the drop tanks. Very happy with the matte coat, Model Master 4636 Flat Clear Acryl, airbrushed on without thinning. Lots of thick stock decals that had to be layered over each other were a pain, and there’s a little silvering. I think my gloss coat before applying decals wasn’t very gloss, something to work on next time. As usual, not perfect, but I definitely enjoyed putting it together!
