1/72nd Eurofighter

[uros]

Had this kit in the stash for some time now. I decided to do a quick OOB build. It will be in Spanish markings and I want to do some weathering on it.

Things realy go quick when there's no complicating.

Cockpit has kit decals and I will ad seatbelts to the seat later.

Thanks for looking!

Thanks guys!
Ian, theese videos are inspireing.
I got a bit more done today. Bad weather is to blame.
Seat is finished. I added seatbelts made from masking tape.

Cockpit is finished and canopy is on. Original HUD was damaged and it was easier to make a new one.

Thanks for looking in!

Not much progress here. I have all gaps filled and sanded. I have also polished the canopy. Next is a layer of primer and then hopefully some paint.

Thzanks for looking in!

Thanks guys!

It really isn't that hard to do. I start with 800 grit sandpaper than contunue with 2000, 5000 and 8000. For finish , till now, I used tamiya polishing paste but recently my friend gave me acrylic based polishing paste for cars. This thing really works.

will be usig it from now on!

I got some nice progress on the model. It's painted and I have begun with decal placement. I wanted to try black base shadng but I'm not entirely satisfied with how it came out. It's barely noticable in these photos anyway.

bottom side finished, still lots of decals to go.

Thanks for looking in!
