16January 13, 2016Masking canopy
17January 13, 2016Parafilm M
18January 13, 2016Primer from AK interactive
19January 13, 2016Pitot is from hypodermic needle
20January 13, 2016Preshading
21January 13, 2016Lower surface RLM76 paited in a mix of Revell aquacolor, I used the recomended mix in the instructions of Me 262 1/72 from Revel for it but later I found out that they have the color just right for the job, the 49 Hellblau
22January 13, 2016painting the wheels
23January 24, 2016first color of the upper cammo in (tamiya XF-5)
24January 24, 2016I was going mad about color matching research, when I saw that I was stressing myself too much with something that was supose to relax me...
25January 24, 2016...Also, I could not find good directions for the cammo scheme, soft edge? hard edge?, than I decided to "let it go" and do what pleases me...
26January 24, 2016... what is the point of having one hobbie if you are not having fun? so I went to my Tamiya colors and pointed out 2 colors that looked nice to me and I taped one hard edge cammo over the model (I realy hate masking...)
27January 24, 2016After unmasking (I love unmasking as much as I hate masking) that´s how it looks like the model after the painting and one light clear coat, the preshading almost desapeared in the darker color (Tamiya XF-51) and a coat of XF-22
28January 24, 2016Ready for decals, I have being putting this model away for a long time, I want to finish it for good! there are more models in my stash waiting to be putted together 😉
29January 26, 2016Decals on, and... they are horrible! too glossy, little bit out of register, they do not respond well to my decal softner (revell decal soft), the number in both sides of the fuselage are in the same side to the cross, when they should be always behind.
30January 31, 2016Good old wash with oil paint and white spirit.
31January 31, 2016just messing up everything ^_^
32January 31, 2016than I cleaned up, almost with no white spirit, just a paper towel dry can take it all when it is well glossed before.
33February 6, 2016It is finished , now I need to take my time and photograph it properly, also my Skyhawk needs proper pictures after it was finished :-/
34May 21, 2017Navigation lights, painted silver with clear red / green on top, skid in the uper position as it is normaly seen ready for take off.
35May 21, 2017I have been needing to post the final pictures for many of my builds, so I´m starting with this one.
36May 21, 2017Chipping was done with Prismacolor silver pencil.
37May 21, 2017Some pigments here and there to spice up the things a bit
38May 21, 2017Navigation lights worked whell, the pitot tube was made out of hipodermic needle of different sizes.

one academy "not-so-quick" build ...., it was inexpensive but have shape problems, no cockpit details and bad decals with wrong and also not-so-clear instructions to place them, I putted it aside for long enough, now is time to finish this building for good!
