pretty busy yesterday, Ive got all three planes airbrushed now
the f-16 is waiting on the red trim to dry, then it will be masked over for the black markings
the 15 however, I will need to travel to the LHS for a new jar of blue. Here is the white trim for the wing flash

Re: Ace Combat, 1/72
I know that feeling. I actually did build a 1/48 scale aircraft... twice, for a friend who requested them. It was definitely an eye-opening experience.CallSignOWL wrote:shoot, Ive been building so many 1/72 subjects that if you give me a jet in 1/48 I might not know what to do with myself!!Stikpusher wrote:Once again Miss Owl, your work in Braille Scale is quite impressive!
Your model painting is excellent. That is a brilliant job on the masking and painting. I also tend to let a large group of models accumulate at the painting stage so I can do them all at the same time too for the same reason.
And I apologize for the lack of comments too. Sometimes lately, I barely have time to look in, much less post a comment, but I always love looking in on your work.
Looking forward to seeing more, and hopefully I'll have time to post more comments.

We are modelers - the same in spirit, in hunger to insanely buy newly released kits, hustlers in hiding our stash from our better halves and experts in using garbage as replacements for after-market parts.

I do hope it warms up soon, Id like to practice more with my airbrush. The painting you guys do on here is inspiring!

Can you fly this plane and land it? Surely you can't be serious? I am serious, and don't call me Shirley
Re: Ace Combat, 1/72
Lovely work on both of those builds - The cockpit in the F-15 has been really nicely done!

clear coat and decals at the next!
