Finally got round to finishing another model from the shelf of doom.

The model is completely out of the box and painted with Gunze Sangyo paints.

H305 Gunship Grey then masked the RAM panel lines, then sprayed H301 Engine Grey, removed the masking tape and lightly oversprayed the panel lines with the engine grey to blend the lines back in.

The only markings that weren't on the decal sheet were the serials so I had a go at painting them in with a hand made stencil.

Stunning mate. The paintwork is very effective.

Question is, could it beat an F-16? ;-)

Well done. That must have involved some tedious masking.

Cheers James.

It did take about a week to get the masking right. Had to do it in sessions of about an hour at a time.

Nice Strikemaster Chris. Demands a second or third look.
