Hi, this is my second submission on
ARC and I hope you will find it interesting. I used the Tamiya kit and I
add some details with "home made" products.
First of all in the cockpit I added
belts and buckles from Alluminium Foil and added buttons and levers from plastic
sheets. I used the kit decals and I used Model Putty to produce the side
panels. With detailing paintinting, drybrushing and washing the cockpit become
quite good. I also added some RBF tapes on the panels and the ejection
seats.
I opened only two
fuselage panels and all the internal avionics were made from plastic sheets and wire
because I didn't like to spoil the mighty lines of my Cat.

The entire model was painted in a "Hi-Vis" scheme like my A-7E cause I like the old "clean" jets. I used Humbrol and Revel Enamels and brush!! The decals were modified in my PC from the 1/48 Italeri kit and reproduced. The model has lightly weathered with drybrushing and washing because I don't like a heavy "grimmy" jet in this colour scheme. Finally I add some RBF tapes in the landing gear and the weapons. I hope you like this construction...I'll be back soon with a 1/32 F-5A of Hellenic Air Force modified from F-5E in Barley Grey!!! Until then......bye!! Ioannis
