Here's my latest finished build. It was built oob and its taken me three sundays to get it finished.
During construction:
After the kit had been airbrushed using Alclad Aluminium, decaled, several coats of future applied and then finally a wash of Paynes grey oil paint was applied to all the panel lines and the gun bay.
Any comments welcome

Good job Samantha. I just finished one of these in 1/48. They are good looking jets in colorful regalia. You really did a nice job on this one.

Nice job Sam
Finished in 3 Sundays,,seems to take me a month of Sundays to finish something at the moment
After the washes did you varnish the model at all?

After the washes I did put a coat of future/ klear onto it had visions of the oil paint rubbing off in several months time if I hadn't ( Nige if you are coming to Newark on sunday I should have it there for the stand)

Looks good Samantha, the combination of aluminium and colourful markings is always a winner
Very impressive that you made this one in three Sundays.
Thanks for sharing
