Brilliant work Gary, that is amazing! Can't wait to see it in paint!

 

[Barney]

Looking good! This is a step up from the old Aurora kit and you are making it you B**ch!

That there is whole bunch of airplane model!! She looks very Black Widow-ish!

Freshly painted. The Black Widow is now a Black Beauty.

Before I painted the black I applied silver from a silver sharpie and coated it with future. This enabled me to chip off the black before it cured too much. Thanks for all of the support. Gary S. XLV MMXX

Pretty slick Gary

Good looking finish on the black. I'll have to try the sharpie trick.

Thanks all !! Just finished putting on the decals. The Revell stencil decals are very nice and readable, but the color almost disappears over the black.
Thanks again, Gary S. XLV MMXX

Man that thing is shiny! Are you going to knock down that shin a bit when you're done?
Looking good

 

[centaur567]

Yes, I plan to do a light coat of flat to the upper surfaces to show sun oxidation. In the meantime, more parts were added this AM. Wheels, doors, drop tanks and radar dish. The gun access door still needs work as does the front bulkhead behind the radar. Thanks, Gary S. XLV MMXX

When using the drop tanks, the gun access can't be opened all the way. Gary S. XLV MMXX

That makes sense, you'd arm up before fueling up.
