If you want to see how my build has gone so far, look at Rafs thread here.
http://www.rcuniverse.com/forum/rc-j...ld-thread.html He has done a brilliant job of building his. Mine is finished up to paint stage, except for install of the cockpit, and Internal ductwork.
The first thing I wanted to do was work out the finishing system I intend to use. I purchased the base paint and the markings from Taylor Made Decals Germany..(BTW This company is brilliant, and were extremely helpful designing some custom markings and paint masks for me.)
As the finish I am trying to replicate is quite dirty and rough, I wanted to test out some different weathering techniques. The under wing weapons pylon were a good place to start as these are ready built, and provided enough detail to practice, without being a total disaster if I get it wrong…
This is roughly what I want to emulate.
