".... is to provide an air element for those boys on the ground while they train"

yes i'm somewhat back... again, and am already hard at work on Kazunori Ito's lovely 'Little' B-P Defiant.... currently just getting the panel lines on but she's evolving... rapidly! grey is WIP, remainder is untouched... yet!

 

[Matt Wynn]

2 hours later and the pre-shading is starting to go on... now the life starts to get brought back into it

Hey Matt -- Great progress so far. I remember another Ito plane that got a compleat make-over. The Westland Whirlwind. Lionheart touched up the model and added some really nice repaints for her ("Betty Boop"). A panel make-over was included but I dunnoh who did that.

Nice to see you back here with the rest of "the Fun Bunch"...

and we're already getting the copy of Master Ito's camouflage on! once camouflage is on i can then think about weathering the old crate

 

[Matt Wynn]

at this point... it's time to start weathering... note the exclusive Squadron codes! perfect you group of bandits

 

[stuartcox]

LOL Matt, I love the squadron markings!

Overall I'm looking forward to the final result.
This is already looking superb as it is...

Very nice work!

i've got to go exfil my graphics tablet from downstairs to do the weathering... it got abducted to do design work (ok... by me, so it wasn't really abducted) on my brothers engagement 'party' invites eugh! shoot me now so i don't have to hear any more about that!

back on track, i plan to do a sharkmouthed Defiant in the all over dull 'night black' yet.... and some true RAF examples which will mean stripping this camo pattern off and redrawing the lot....

 

[Matt Wynn]

Graphics tab successfully exfil. zero casualties, light contact.... so weathering has been progressing well... still got to do the camo on tailplanes and the control surfaces, plus some more weathering but she's getting there....

Dont want to look like nasty intruder, but i remember long time ago there was paint for Trago Mills Sprint in the works, what happened to it, or my memory is deceiving me again? Oh, and Defiant looks like new different model

 

[Matt Wynn]

was lost when my old PC died sadly, BUT... and it's a big BUT, a proper J-Lo of a but.... i do plan to revisit that little gem

Defiant is slowly getting there... just working on the rudder currently, think next defiant i'll do for some balance will be a Night fighter... most likely with the sharkmouth, both will get a new prop disc too....

 

[Hurricane91]

That is a very attractive paint Matt. Thanks for the progressive screenshots, and good to see you back.

 

[Matt Wynn]

good to be back

well, I have this morning got the tailplane camouflage on and a new prop disc in place.... prop disc isn't finalised yet, still got to punch out some areas and refine others...

 

[Matt Wynn]

I did say i'd do a night fighter right? just called her in after going to play chase with 'Jerry' in the early morning hours....
