:bump:Just an update on the E-1 -- Been adding detail - still very early in the process but the nacelles and MLG door interiors are done now on to the wings. NO shading, hi-lighting, weathering or the lijke have been added yet, just the basic details.View attachment 55308View attachment 55307

Duckie, if the rest of the paint/weathering is going to be anything like those door interiors, we're all in for one heck of a New Year's party.
Congratulations!

:icon_lol: Thanks Nigel. :salute: I have to admit they turned out better than I thought they might! Can't say the rest will turn out that way but it won't be for lack of trying. :running:

Hmmm... me thinks you might know something I don't, Nigel. What are ya' leading on to, mate?

As for everything else... I have been following this project closely since the very first post and I must say that these models will be nothing short of OUTSTANDING, once they have been released. If there is any doubt in anyone's mind, just look at the names of the folks responsible for bringing this project to it's current status. And DON"T FORGET TO LOOK AT THE PICS!!!

Absolutely Phenominal Work, Gentlemen. :medals: I CAN'T WAIT to fly these!!!

Hi BB686, your enthusiasm for the project will be duly rewarded. :salute:

Patience!

What I am leading on to, is this;
As a priveliged member of the team working on this inspired project, Ive had the honour of seeing from first hand, the exceptional standards of craftsmanship involved in all facets of its development.

A great credit indeed, to all who have, and still are, devoting their time and talent to something they're dedicated to.

It is in fact, nothing short of a work (more correctly works) of art!

My statement to Duckie, refers to his methodical and determined manner of handling work. Anyone who has had the pleasure of seeing one of his awesome F-4 paints will know what I mean.

And so, with the eventual release of these aircraft in the coming new year, I think there will be great cause for SOH celebration.
 
E-1B Paint Update...

VERBAL! :icon_lol: To show pics of the E-1B paint in progress right now would be like seeing a photo of a star athlete in street clothes...you probably would not recognize them at first glance! We are all used to seeing them in uniform or their athletic garb. :icon_lol:

However, I can say that work is progressing nicely and at a steady pace. Paint and panels for wings, cowls, nacelles, and taill are all done. Will begin fuselage tonight and hope to begin applying war paint and weathering by the weekend. Maybe a few screen shots by the weekend.

TTFN

Panel and Gauge Updates

Scott just sent the latest panel gauge updates to check out ... so I fired up the sim to look; nice work and progress. Lots of stuff on these panels. :wavey:
 
Outrageous! What's this place coming to...

Milton, Duckie;

You lads should be ashamed of yourselves publishing photographs like that here.

The least you could do, was to give credit to the poor photographers who spent their precious time and skill taking the snaps.


Bet you didn't even bother to get their permission! :a1310:

edit; important announcement; this is the cockpit i use, it was given to me by a kind Scott!

Duckie, if my trick works i'll shoot you the layers :salute:
