Softscience seeing in double

Post by Softscience »

This thread will document my F-82 build. I am using the Monogram kit, Starfighter decals and a long in the tooth Airwaves PE set. We'll see how it goes.

it is. I noticed that my knee is showing in the photo, so I want to ensure the viewing audience that I was wearing running shorts (thigh-length athletic trousers (?) for you Brits) when I took this photo. :)

I'm glad you said it was your knee. My first thought was, "Wow! he's REALLY excited about that kit! :shock:

Uh...anyway. :)

Some initial work done. I started the props but am now on the hunt to mix a shade of blue for the spinners to match the blue in the decals. I like how the gun tray turned out. Medium gray followed by a graphite rub.

More to come.
