Okee Doakee, I have been busy on the sluf and this is as far as I got today. I tried some pastels for the post shading and dirty effect and was pleasantly surprised at the out come. :fencing

I know the seat is crooked but I haven't cemented it in yet so it looks a bit off.
Now back to the Beercat. :drinks
 
It sits in a line of unfinished kits, sort of like the land of misfit toys. She is forlorned and almost forgotten until two days ago. I just dry fit the wings and things after some painting and clear coat. Decals tomorrow and then the weathering starts. Oh and some ordnance also. I lost the pout board pylons so its going to be light some ordnance.

Stay tuned folks, same time, same forum
 
Lookin good. How is the over all fit on the kit? I've got a set of old Superscale decals to do one of the birds that flew in Desert Storm w/ a desert camo scheme, and trying to figure out which kit to get. I've been looking at the Hasegawa kit, but its pricy for sure.
 
I like that HB kit Adam. it fits really well and the wings leave hardly any seam. the only thing I have a prob with it the canopy because it is thin and flexible but it will crack. I got mine at 40% off and I really enjoy the kit.
