JaseGill Posted March 17, 2015 Share Posted March 17, 2015 Well, Im calling this one finished. The Build Log is here: http://forum.largescalemodeller.com/topic/3110-special-hobby-132-buckeye/ Its not perfect but I'm about as done as I can be. Somehow the Carpet Monster collected the Nose Pitot so I need to find a replacement. The tail Pitot snapped too but I have some Albion Alloy on order and once it arrives I will make the necessary repairs. Ive seen pictures of repaired paint patches on Greek Aircrfat so I have tried to do a repair patch on the nose too. Clean paint, no weathering. The RBF Tags are in English, I couldn't find any Greek ones, not even sure the Greek ones are in Greek anyway I hope you like and as usual constructive criticism is much appreciated.

Administrators James H Posted March 17, 2015 Administrators Share Posted March 17, 2015 I think this is the first I've seen of these actually finished, and it looks great Nice to see a Greek scheme here too. We don't see enough of those, or Israeli. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rkranias Posted March 18, 2015 Share Posted March 18, 2015 Bravo! Love the Greek scheme. Ooopa, time to break some plates! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mgbgtv8steve Posted March 18, 2015 Share Posted March 18, 2015 Luvly Jase! We don't get to see that much Greek 'stuff' - I think they're quite difficult to get looking right due to the amount of weathering they 'suffer', but you've captured the look really well. Now how about cracking on with that KittyHawk Sabre Dog!?!? Bravo! Steve S. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JaseGill Posted March 18, 2015 Author Share Posted March 18, 2015 Thanks guys.Thinking of the Sabre Dog next, but I have a 1/35 Storch half built (from about 8 years ago when I started it) and a half built 1/35 AH-1W that Mark31 sent me a missing part for (again 8 to 10 years old) that kind of feels like it needs doing next too. Could be a triple build... Plus Aaron and I have an idea or two too J. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gepard Posted October 31, 2015 Share Posted October 31, 2015 First of all congrats for the build !!!! We don't have Hellenic RBF,we use english ones. The salt effect was unnecessary,cause they are not carrier based aircrafts !!! The Hellenic T-2 are heavily weathered and faded but not salted !!!!!

JaseGill Posted November 9, 2015 Author Share Posted November 9, 2015 Gepard, Thanks. Good news on the RBF I didnt use salt technique to give a carrier feel to it, I just used it as a means of weathering the paing and given a worn, weathered and faded look and feel. Ive used it for all sorta, naval and non-naval subjects Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JaseGill Posted November 10, 2015 Author Share Posted November 10, 2015 Gepard, I didnt take it as bad intention at all, if it reads that way Im sorry Think were all here for the same thing to learn from others and I know Im learning a lot from everyone here Thanks again, J.
