As I tend to start more builds than I ever finish, I thought I will also create a common / shared topic as many of you, this thread being for my airplane builds.

Instead of x amount of threads without an end..

More to follow..

I started with Tamiyas new Phantom II kit, which I am planning to build as an OOB build, "to keep it simple".

Instead of following the logical order, aka the cockpit, I jumped directly to step 9; "The nose landing gear bay".

Already astonished of the kit quality and the engineering!
The gear bay pieces just lock into eachother and create a sturdy construction, which will need just a tiny amount of cement and the risk of cement floodings reduce




The pieces were first primed with MRPs Fine surface primer, before getting a number of thin layers of MRPs Insignia white.
I used deliberately another white nuance, that is not too bright white (as regular flat white) and I found the Insignia white to be ok.

Let's see what next!

Then some detail painting before the first part of the weathering process started; a basic oil wash.

Looking really good Kari! Im looking forward to your opinion of this kit.

I can’t find my bench. Youf’s is looking good. Nice building.

That's looking fantastic, Kari!

Thanks guys!
