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

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!! :shoot:
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.

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.

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

Lovely work on both of those builds - The cockpit in the F-15 has been really nicely done!
