Nice! Those belts are very convincing. Moonpuppy, best seat in the house...never know what's coming!

Done. Ran into an issue with the decals. Nothing wrong with them other then they are super glossy. I usually don't add a gloss coat when I do my dry brushing as it will change the appearance of the sheen. I ended up doing a gloss coat adding the decals and sealing them in with another gloss...

No just a highly thinned mixture of Gunze mr color super chrome silver 2. I didnt thin it enough and covered up some of the dry brushing.

Yes. I got alittle heavy handed in a few places. Its tricky to work with. Also elected not to fill the panel lines in the wings. Just didnt feel like messing with it.

Got all the mask off..I'm really happy the way the mouth turned out. Will need to do some touch ups here and there. Going to let it sit as is for a few days then do some stencils. The NMF was mainly model master with various gunze mr metal.

Thanks! It's a different way of doing NMF thats for sure. Big10 explains it in this link. He gets a better finish then I get... probably because hes hoarding all the model master aluminum buffing metalized. https://modelersalliance.org/threads/devastating-dottie.155010/page-2

Nice start! Looking good.

Starting to work on the bare metal.

one bad sneeze and its all over!! That bottle cap really puts it into perspective! Nice Job!

I can't take full credit for what I'm doing..I'll go 50/50 with big10. Of course I retain all the rights to said methods.😁

Got some painting done this weekend. The way I'm doing to NMF is tricky. So I have to reverse engineer the main markings. I do this so contact with the NMF will be minimal. Also wanted to see if I could use my vinyl cutter to make the shark mouth. It's ok..need to do some touch ups before I...

If I'm not mistaken, it's the directional radar antenna

More progress, the fit is excellent. Minor clean and trim here and there. My only complaint so far and it's not a hit at the kit is the sprue gate attachments. They are thick in a few areas and care must be taken when removing them. Added some lead wire to the radio..its out of scale but the...

That U125 is sweet looking. I don't know how you keep up with all that. I have a hard enough time keeping up with one!

Yes the kit comes with that decal option. Some more progress. Kit comes with nice decals to lively up the cockpit. Gave it a light wash and flat coated everything then went back and added gloss to the IP gages.

Thanks guys, I really didn't do anything different other than polish in between all coats of paint and gloss. I wanted to try that in this scale. It was time consuming enough in 1/72! Maybe that had something to do with it. All I used was an old wash I have from MIG.

It's just stuck on there...prolly shifted down as I was moving it around for pics

Somewhat of a start, been pretty busy. Detail is nice and some early test fitting seems good. Will be doing the shark mouth bird called Evalina.
