Hi Phil,
good job as always....It´s nice to see how you are working (and thinking) with all that paint mask starting to paint on the markings first...sometimes my brian is not able to "decode" the way...but it works and looks fantastic...I guess I supplied the right colors/paints...looks harmonious. Thank you very much for posting all that pics...

Phil that is beautiful. Did I remember you saying you apply decals after the weathering? Did you use an oil based paint for the weathering?
And are those decals or dry transfers (the stenciling I mean)
Thanks for taking the time to post you r pictures

Hi Phil
Fantastic work. I always look forward to seeing your posts and how you transform these models.
Something that catches my eye thou, what happened to the F16 in the background? Is that the big Fly Eagle jet?

Thats oldest new paint job I have ever seen, good job 
I look forward to the days when I settle down and have a nice shop so I can just buy a kits that need to be painted again. Nothing like doing it all yourself, much more satisfaction when it maidens.
[X(] What happened to the f-16 in the back? That looks like Alis?

Hi guys,
The F16 has left the building, it had a nose leg collapse on its last flight and smashed the intake as all F16 suffer with. We fitted a new nose on her then reprinted her to match the fuse. One thing we did whilst it was in the shop was fit the new larger u/c unit.

love the kill markings.. great work amigo, additionally, my decals and paint masks arrived safely. Thank you for a great product. I look forward to applying them to the Rafale when it makes it up the building table lineup.
cheers

Oh okay yeah Ali mentioned that, I was hoping it wasn't something new. Hey did the heads up display and ejection seat come like that or was it a custom made thing.

The model is now en route to Malta but before she left I got some photos of her finish, but before those photos there are some shots of the IR lens and fin nav light. Also some before and after shots of the exhaust nozzles.
