It's... interesting. There are obviously- as for any other job- plus and cons. Surely it's a stable job. Plus there are planes all around. Some other things are... not... so... brilliantly... awesome. To say the least- but whatever.

Got the airframe primed today. I lost count of how many times I reloaded the airbrush. Used about a third of a bottle of Alclad primer! It's a very dusty finish in places so will need a rub with some polishing cloths, then we are on to pre-shading and paint. It's getting too big to photograph now.

komemiute, I do the same thing. I can imagine that's an exciting job, I bet you never tire of seeing them.
I've yet to see an F-117 in person, next year maybe we make a quick trip to Dayton, OH. I'm reminded that one year, back when the F-117 was still new to the public they had an Airshow at Mac Dill and they had an area cordoned off with guards and a sign for the Stealth Fighter; there were just three wheels on chocks in the middle.

Primed for paint?
This is getting good...

The model is all but painted. There area a couple of touch ups needed, and I haven't put the red on the fin. (Luckily, Xtradecal are releasing the 29 Squadron 2015 special scheme that was my client's first choice, so I don't have to mask the D-Day stripes! Yay!). This is all painted in Xtracolour enamels, which has a great translucency to easily get a good effect over pre-shading. I'm pleased with the pre-shade effect. (It's not as stark as the overhead shot in real life.) I think it's subtle enough to break up the overall grey, and not so noticeable that it looks artificial. The decals won't be on sale until March so plenty of time to do the touch ups and bits I've missed, plus get started on finishing the gear (especially the tricky problem of making the main wheel attachment much stronger and at the correct angle to the leg. Typhoon has a distinct inward angle to the main legs, which is often missed on models.)

I'm always impressed with folks dedication and skill. I have several models in various stages of work which apparently wasn't enough because I decided I needed to build a westland wyvren and went out and bought one. Nice work going on here.

I've got all the main colours done. There's a few touch ups needed, but it's looking good I think. I need to finish the gear next. (I've had made guess at where the red crosses the spine, hopefully the gold pinstripe that goes there will cover it, otherwise it's yet another touch up!)

Red? It's supposed to be crimson. Fix it now or I'm uninstalling!
Oh, wait, this isn't a flight sim.
In that case it looks friggin' awesome, as has the whole of your project.

Lots or progress. The decals arrived, and were great to work with. I am always very wary of large decals, things can go very wrong very quickly, so I took great care with tail art. All wrinkly with the Micro-Sol softening them in to position. They settle down really well. (The designers didn't take in to account the bare metal 'rubbing strip' on the leading edge of the rudder, meaning I had to mask and repaint it. There are few things more likely to end in disaster than masking over decals, but I got away with it!) These two bits on the very end of the spine don't meet properly. Luckily the Microscale logo is printed in the same gold, and there's just enough to patch it up. Tail finished. A small hiccup with the squadron insignia. I have no idea how this happened! It was the last decal I placed in this session, and I simply put the softener on, packed tools away and closed up the shed. It was damaged when I came in the next day. A mystery. I cut some pieces from spares on the sheet and patched it up. Two shots of the Flory Models wash drying. This is my own colour I mixed for my 1/48 Typhoon a few years ago. I don't want it too dirty as it's a show scheme, but we're way in to the realms of 'What if?' anyway, with it being fully armed when finished. I really need to finish this now, I've totally run out of steam and need a change. If it wasn't a build for someone else I'd box it and build a small subject then come back to it.

Looks great, goon. The tail decals look excellent.
The wash effect is new to me, something I need to learn about.
