Bomber_County Posted March 24, 2023 Posted March 24, 2023 I missed this completely, stunning cockpit a masterclass in itself….. 2 1
Pete Fleischmann Posted March 25, 2023 Author Posted March 25, 2023 The Israeli Baz bay 5 has this funky Frankenstein plate on the floor I cut out a blank from .020 sheet, and spent the afternoon laying down Archer rivets. Once dry, I shot it with Tamiya Rubber Black. To replicate the worn finish, I tapped some AK polished metal powder on a paper towel, and rubbed my finger on it, then gently dragged my finger across the raised detail. You’ll notice the recessed rivets on the floor filled with white water putty. These will be replaced with raised rivets. 7
Peterpools Posted March 25, 2023 Posted March 25, 2023 Pete Fantastic work on the details. Finding detailed photos on Israeli aircraft is a job in itself. Looking so good 3 1
Pete Fleischmann Posted March 25, 2023 Author Posted March 25, 2023 Bay 5 base color down. This was a mix of Gunze Aqueous metallic blue and metallic green over an Alclad aluminum base coat. Looks a bit dark right now, but will lighten up with the weathering process- cheers Pete 8
Martinnfb Posted March 26, 2023 Posted March 26, 2023 Nice detail as always Peter. Found this old video. I hope you don't mind if I hang it here. Cheers Martin 2

Peterpools Posted March 26, 2023 Posted March 26, 2023 Martin Thank you for posting the moving video and tribute. (signature avatar might be inappropriate for this post but it's for my current build) 2
Pete Fleischmann Posted March 26, 2023 Author Posted March 26, 2023 First color adjustment to bay 5- 5
Peterpools Posted March 26, 2023 Posted March 26, 2023 Pete Right with Martin ... looking so good. 1 1
Martinnfb Posted March 26, 2023 Posted March 26, 2023 Can't wait for the rest of the painting/filtering sequence. To achieve that elusive bluish look. YAY! Another short video of this pretty bird. This time at Waddington UK 1 1
Pete Fleischmann Posted March 26, 2023 Author Posted March 26, 2023 First filter. This was done with a mix of Tamiya clear blue and clear green diluted heavily with VMS thinner P 5
Pete Fleischmann Posted March 27, 2023 Author Posted March 27, 2023 With the TEWS boxes removed, the rack and cooling ductwork remains. The IAF put their own gear in place of the TEWS above this rack- getting there- the brackets are all over the place..but that’s how they are- P 7
Pete Fleischmann Posted April 2, 2023 Author Posted April 2, 2023 Detail painting started. All of the basic colors get put down first- weathering of the details next- cheers Pete 7
Martinnfb Posted April 2, 2023 Posted April 2, 2023 Amazing progress Pete, beautiful detail and precise brushwork. Bravo! 1 1
