International Scale Modeller

So here are my final reveal photos of my fisrt entry in this fantastic GB

The kit is wonderful , for the subject , even there are more later kits in the market , this kit is from 1997 , and even OOB will make a stunning model in your shelves , imagine that with some aftermarket will look much better , I have another that I just may built it in future using some aftermarket goodies, well not this one ... The paint job was the more challenging to me , even I already do soem mottling before , this camo scheme was hard to do and admit that could be better , also I didn't placed the aerials wires for the antenas, being an OOB build I should use streched sprue , but I didn't use it and prefer to place after some Uschi's rigging line , and this plane will get a base , as I intend to present it in my Local Model Show , but we are always learning and I try to learn from each Build and the ISM's GB's and SiG's are great to try new techniques , enough talk , hre are the photos , with the poor quality that I usual present , sorry , I always keep mention that I must have better conditions to take the photos , but ...

So my building thread was here :

Nice one mate. That mottling turned out great.

Fantastic job how long did the mottling take and where did you start ?

Thank you ! , well the mottling was the hardest part of the build , it took me two nights , and learned something doing it , as you must have the correct ratio of paint/thinner , and even at the end the paint seemed more fluid , also to do this in two days , you noticed the difference in size maybe , I start on the right wing , then fuselage , tail and finally left wing ...if you checkyou noticed that I begin with a small size , it is hard to do at free hand , bit to me it will be the way to do it in future , I try with metal masks from Eduard, and not worked for this camo scheme , but we are always learning and in the end in my opinion is a wonderful aircraft to me to watch in my shelf , I'm going to finish it later with a small base and took it to my Local Hobby Show this year , always good to see the reaction to this camo schemes

Great work mate!!

Great work Antonio!
Very nice overall look and great mottling work there!

Very nice "little" bird. That mottling must be taken some time, but it has turned great. Nice job !

Mottling is superb, lovely build, great work, hope it goes down well at your local show.

That looks smashing mate, the paintwork is a scheme that would fill me with dread to do, so to do it that well is top draw stuff. Love it

Fantastic job. I have this one in the stash and er, look forward to the mottling!

Wonderful job mate.

Very nice work there mate

That Camouflage pattern would be enough to drive me crazy! Great job.

Very nice job, love the mottling camo pattern but have to agree who Troy would have driven me too well done.
