Bit of painting tonight, that cockpit needed finishing off...
and this is why I don't do 1:72 anymore - this looked okay with eyes and magnifier, but zooming in with the camera and it doesn't look half as good
Pilots getting some paint too
and you can see the ejecrot seat handles in yellow as well. There was another but it just disappeared somewhere! If it more than 5mm wide I'll be surprised.
Finally in this update, the canopy. If you look closely in the last pic on the previous post you'll see the canopy. It has some scratches on the surface meant to denote the canopy frame.Well I don't think thats good enough so having masked it all up, I'm layering some Mr surfacer 1000 to represent the canopy frame.
Dunno if it'll work but I'll never know unless I try! Oh and I almost forgot, the APC bay got its Olive Green paint and some dark wash.
I am trying to sort out the headlights as well, but I keep getting distracted with the cockpit. Missiles soon... oh boy!
"Hot as hell in here"
"Yeah man, but it's a dry heat!"
