Hello,
This is my first
aircraft build for a very long time. I built the Hasegawa kit #863 with the
Aires open exhaust nozzles. It was built mainly out of the box, with two
major areas of improvement/detailing: The landing gear bays and the Vulcan gun
bay, entirely scratch-built using Evergreen plasticard, bits of metal rod taken
from a wire brush and some tiny parts made for me by Davor using his fantastic
micro-milling machine. Thanks Davor!

The paint job is quite
straight-forward. I used paper masks to get the wavy white/grey boundary
right, which is a bit tricky at the very front of the fuselage. The model
depicts the plane in one of its first deployments so weathering is kept to
a minimum, just enough to make it alive. I used oil washes after a couple
of Future coats. The nozzles are painted with a mix of Vallejo metallic
acrylic paints and graphite powder.
I hope you like it,
please send me a PM if you have any question!
