The UHU in action

I want to play this..a BF1942 mod....

Pimp My Ride - airplane style

Here's a small update on the Pimp Edition F117...





Kitty tried to help - Hmm, what is this thing, it looks tasty!

And now for something COMPLETELY different...

My wife wants in on the action! So here is a prelim camo brainstorm on her recently acquired F117 Nighthawk. Haha!

Nightfighter on final approach...

Well, here it is.

Overall, I am pleased with the finished model. I still suck at canopies but I aim to keep at it. The alternate camo scheme came out well I thought. I know it wasn't realistic in relation to the specific plane, but I had fun with it. In the end that's all that matters.

Here are some pics:





A closeup view of the otherwise hidden cannons:





Here is a closeup of the bottom of the aircraft. Hopefully you can see the subtle weathering. I used a silver/grey lead pencil for all of it. Pretty simple and easy! Enjoy!



Don't prick me!



I'll post more later. I've got some more detailed shots and other angles. Enjoy these for now.

Coming together...

Things are really starting to come together now...the main body is fully assembled. All that's left are some smaller parts and the cockpit canopy and decals. More soon...Enjoy!!!! (Remember always click on the individual pictures for larger versions.)

More construction updates...

Almost there...some more closeups of the completed wings, landing gear, and tail fin. Enjoy!

The painted bird

Got a lot of painting done on the main fuselage and wings this weekend. Here is a photo of the unassembled parts and painted camo:



And here are some random shots of the "workbench" - thought these would be fun. Pay special attention to the giant tape ball mass...that was used to tape off various sections of the wings and body for painting. Enjoy!
