Thanks joel should move to primer by the weekend.so the resin experiment went horribly wrong so I will be producing the sets that you see above and selling them on ebay.I will link it when they are up

look guys and gals Primer!!!!!

the resin did work out for something lots of turbine fans

Looking sweet there Justin, will this be in the Orlando show? Keep it going, Rick

Looking good Justine, nearly there

Let me know when your burner cans will be ready as I'm shortly going to have a bench that the beast will fit on, that will mean I can get back to work on my A-12

What orlando show? And the cans aren't going to be resin they will be like the set above I should start posting them to ebay next week.thanks for the comments

I found info on the show yes possibly with a few others I will have to work on getting the weekend off that would be sweet thanks for saying something

Just to confirm I will be attending the orlando show the blackbird should be done by then and I will have engines

Black is on and future has began.is any body else going to the orlando show? I have 10 entries we will see how it goes I'm excited this will be my first show.

Primer on and the home straight in sight. Excellent build and thread - keep it up Justin!
Gary

Outstanding work mate!

Thanks guys and gals I will post some progress shots later today

In the home stretch now with a full coat of primer on. Looking real good.
Joel

progress I finished the rear gear bays and I am now working on the front the wheels,doors,decals ,stencils and so on

Justin, the level of added detail in those wheel wells is just amazing.

Joel

Thank you Sir

I could not agree more and it's almost a shame to cover all the detail up with a coat of paint....almost!

Gary

more progress.....




only a few weeks left until ipms hope I make it

I like this build very much, very nice all together, with great details. Are you adding different tones of black on the fuselage?



Jelger

It will get finished in a flat coat I keep most of my builds clean looking to me I feel these birds were kept in tip top shape while in service the only ones I've seen with these different tones are the ones on display at least that's my opinion.thank you for watching

Justin, good luck in making the IPMS deadline, but just don't rush it and cut any corners. So far it's a near perfect build with outstanding results. Too bad I don't always follow my own advice.

Joel

Oh yeah justin is getting his decal on!

update all decals are on the top and the flat coat has been applied





on to the bottom still have to decal and install the gear bay doors and antenna which I still must scratch build

Justin, the decals looks great. Super up close and personal always seem to show the even slightest of flash, but yours are almost perfect. Well done. Love how you got those top red stripes so straight. It's always been difficult for me to do that, as I usually mess them up pretty bad in the process.

Joel

Looking good Justin! On the home stretch now!

Those red lines look great on the Blackbird! Like the tails too!
