The semi-gloss over gloss comes out more gloss than semi .... Also, you'll see where I had a run come over the port side intakes and mar the paint job. If you wonder why I didn't catch it, it's because I did the top first, then turned it over & did the underside, then got dragged away by other things .... I might try to repair it, but remember, this goes on the ceiling ....
I wish someone did aftermarket decals for this kit. In retrospect I should have bought the Revell repop just to get the decals.
Anyway, here we are
Not sure I enjoyed the build, what with all the filler and sanding and decal issues, but it is no doubt impressive when finished. I don't normally do jets, but this is one I might like to tackle again, just to see if I could do better ....
I will mount this, and the 3 Lightnings, to my ceiling probably Thursday. I do have the Redtop missiles for the Lightnings and the longer fuel lines all ready to go .... When it id up, I'll post the "aerial view" elsewhere ....
Lastly, but most importantly - I would like to apologize to Martin and to the members of this GB for my lack of participation throughout. I have had a number of mostly non-modeling things going on this past couple months -- nothing to worry about, not health or anything, just too many things. I better than anyone should know better, but I have simply been unable to be as interactive, not just with my efforts, but all your fine efforts, which would appear to make this a record setting build and one that meets the intent of a Tribute to Ted Taylor. Thank you all for that !!!!
