Working on putting the IIAF markings on this F-14A Tomcat. Interesting it has a mix of USN maintenance stencils on it as well. #HistScaleModels #ModelAircraft

Pues poco falta. Una pieza que de lo enrevesada que estaba grapada, se ha roto. La pego cuando la reparación este lista, barnizo, y saco las fotos finales con la caja. #MS406 #maquetas #modelismo #ScaleModeling #ModelAircraft
Further progress on my IIAF F-14 Tomcat 😺 project as the base Sand tone was sprayed to finalize the camouflage. Added the anti-glare so I could unmask it and see the results. Some touch up work but 👍🏻 #ModelAircraft #HistScaleModels
This Weekend in The Hangar: Chipping away at a build #2 - I've also experimented with the "Hairspray Method" of chipping on this G4M1 Type 11. It can net you a very finely chipped effect.

This Weekend in The Hangar: Chipping away at a build - One tried method to get that worn look was experimented with on my Ki-84 Hayate (Frank). See more on this method at: https://www.flypastrush.com/post/frank-s-paint-job-1-48th-otaki-ki-84-hayate-type-4-frank #HistScaleModels #ModelAircraft
Mid-week progress on the IIAF F-14 Tomcat 😺 as the Medium Brown got masked off and a coat of DarkGreen was added to the camouflage. #ModelAircraft #HistScaleModels
Did I mention that I am also working on these two 1/48 RCAF Mustangs..? RCAF P-51D Mustang - City of Hamilton Squadron (Red) and - City of Winnipeg Squadron (Blue/Yellow) Busy bench these summer days 🌞 #ModelAircraft #HistScaleModels
This Weekend in The Hangar: My Aggressor lineup continues to expand with this addition of another T-38 Talon. Check out the brief article on the build at https://www.flypastrush.com/post/aggressor-light-1-48th-trumpeter-t-38a-talon #ModelAircraft #HistScaleModels Enjoy the weekend with a bit of Hobby time 👋
Started the upper camouflage tonight in an highly unusual fashion with the darker tones first. However with this IIAF pattern it will be easier to mask off the dark strips and spray the light sand colour last. We will see how that works out as I don’t recall doing it in this order ever before. I will need to go back and work on a few of the brown areas still as I have some areas to cleanup some and I missed a couple of recoats on the tail. Progress on the IIAF Tomcat regardless 😺 #ModelAircraft
A View from the Rafters: The Hangar crew makes preparations for some systems checks on the new German F-4F Phantom II. An outside engine test may be scheduled for later in the week 👻 😎 #ModelAircraft #HistScaleModels
This Weekend in The Hangar: Take Five - Aggressor lineup (CF-5D & CF-5A) #ModelAircraft #HistScaleModels
Onto the finer details of my MiG-29UB (which always takes a disproportionate amount of time to complete, however it does add to the effect) Now, if I can manage not to break them off every time I touch it, I may get it to The Hangar later today. The crew is anticipating its arrival. #HistScaleModels #ModelAircraft
This Weekend in The Hangar: The newest of the New Arrivals at The Hangar for an Aggressor lineup. CF-5D; T-38; T-38 #ModelAircraft #HistScaleModels
This Weekend in The Hangar: A flurry of activity this morning as a couple of New Arrivals came into The Hangar for a later photo session. #ModelAircraft #HistScaleModels
Monday Model Making: It’s anti-glare night at The Paint Shop with Mustangs and MiGs getting topped off with the dark tones. #ModelAircraft #HistScaleModels

@FlyPastRush@mstdn.ca Yeah, that was quite the build indeed ... (mine was the SpecialHobby version) 😎 #ModelAircraft

Another multi-media short run kit that can produce a great model (not easily) was this Two Bobs T-2 Buckeye. The type was not available in a main-stream kit, however this and the Special Hobby releases covered Venezuelan, Hellenic as well as USN markings: #HistScaleModels #ModelAircraft https://www.flypastrush.com/post/top-gun-trainer-1-48th-two-bobs-t-2c-buckeye
The complex/challenging builds include multi-media short run kits. If your subject isn't available as a main-stream these can get you there, but it's going to take more work. I've built a few now & this Firefly was a favourite : https://www.flypastrush.com/post/rcn-warrior-1-48th-grand-phoenix-firefly-mk-1 #HistScaleModels #ModelAircraft
Got to the Wash on - Wash off stage this week with my 1/48th Kinetic CF-5D. Now progress seemingly slows to a crawl with all the small details yet to come, gear, pylons, pit detail, antennas etc. #ModelAircraft #HistScaleModels
