S MNice clea building! Could you tell what is the purpose of that aluminium foil?

Maciej Bellos AuthorThank you for all the likes gentlemen!
S B, the aluminum foil was used to protect the underlying plastic from the sprue goo I used so as the sniper pylon fits better to the fuselage. All Sniper pylons I have are either for the Eagle or the Viper so one had to be modified to fit.
I will sort the photos and add some comments too.

Maciej Bellos AuthorHappy New Year!
Thank you Sergej!
I found some time to start the fun phase. Preshading yesterday night, first pass on the lower surfaces today. I think it is ok. What do you think?

Very cool project, I still haven't got one, trying to locate the red livery edition.

Maciej Bellos AuthorThanks Sergej!
So, got the upper surfaces done today and I like the result. I think I got better in my painting skills. Colours used, Gunze H305 and H306.
Time for printing the decals I am missing, serials that is.

Maciej Bellos AuthorI did some panel line washing on the upper surfaces. Lower surfaces tomorrow.

Maciej Bellos AuthorI did the panel line wash on the lower surfaces and on to the next level, dirtying up the area under the engine. There will be a lot of soot there after I'm done (I hope).
Thank you for the thumbs up guys.

Maciej Bellos AuthorFinally found some time to apply some soot under the engine. I think it looks ok. It will rest for some days and then I will prep her with some gloss varnish for the decals.

Maciej Bellos AuthorThank you DerMattes!
I have almost completed the decals. I am left with the tedious chore of putting the 6-7 decals on each of the AIM-9. The yellow and brown bands are a pain... Tons of Micro SOL to get them to conform around the body of the missile.

Cerberus21Looking really good. I like the MOD. Do you do the panel-liner and waterslides on the same layer?

Maciej Bellos AuthorThank you Timmie!
Thank you Cerberus21! I usually do the panel-lines before the water slides. Since I used Gunze acrylics, I went with the panel lines first, that I applied a coat of Gunze gloss varnish and then went with the decals. Had I used Humbrol enamels, I would have applied a coat of Gunze Gloss and then panel lines and probably the decals after that.
Appreciate all the likes! Cheers!

Carlos CisnerosThe F-20 is a great choice for a "What if?" build. Yours looks excellent!
