Hi guys, first time posting. Just finished this one over the weekend. Duration was about a month.

There were quite a few firsts in this project. First time using an airbrush and first time using primers, spent a lot of time fixing mistakes.

I didn't follow the actual paint scheme. The paint scheme was somewhat inspired by this build here

All paint used were Tamiya Acrylic paint including gray primer

I did not dare attempt weathering obviously due to my limited skill level. But will strive to improve my skill in my next build, which am thinking about either a F-15 strike eagle or a flanker.

Any suggestion welcome 8)

Nice clean build.
Might want to experiment with some washes to help bring out details in places like the wheels, but this is a good clean build

Very nice job. Interesting paing scheme for some reason i just think of it being a canadian bird with that color.

Nice. I like the way you stepped out on the paint scheme. Very original. I agree with Q to try some washes. There are plenty of good examples on this forum. I look forward to your next build.
