A Starfire is reborn. FINISHED

[TobyC]

Painting done bar a couple of small fiddly bits and then the scary task of applying the decals. I just hope they've stood the test of time as I can't find any am stuff for this particular version of the F94

Looking really good, got to love the subtle colour schemes of those early US jets

I really like that, what have you used for the red?

Thank you. It's Vallejo MA scarlet.

Looks good.. Nice paint..

Seeing how well it goes together , I'm going to move mine up the pile.

Curses. Old decal has not reacted well with Microsol



I've got some Microscale decal restorer so I'll give that a go. If that fails I'll do a whif. Shame as it's such a nice kit

[TobyC]

It's going to be a whif. Decals just fell apart and those that didn't curled up like three day old BR sandwich.

[TobyC]

The whif has begun



I've found some Shooting Star decals with a bit of Skyraider thrown in.

[TobyC]

More whiffery. I'll have to dream up some fighter group for this

[shangos70]

That is a pity, was it just a reaction to the sol or generally past their prime?

Past their prime. They started to crack on release from the paper before coming into contact with Microsol. That just heightened their demise.

Last of the markings go on. Next will be the plethora of stencils and then I can add the U/C and start to weather.

Just found out both main U/C struts are missing from the kit

What a bummer. She is looking so cool.

Maybe it could be in flight? I might have some going spare if you need them.
