Łukasz GlińskiThanks, I haven't invested too much effort in the cockpit as not much will be visible once the canopy is glued into place.

Łukasz GlińskiWelcome and enjoy the latest update. Canopy has been masked (what would I do w/o the Aizu tapes?) and I primed it twice. Hope to spray it around the weekend or next week.

Łukasz GlińskiThanks. The canopy wasn't that bad actually. OK, except for the windshield part. The rest was done using stripes of Aizu tape. For the side windows I used two single 2,5mm stripes, placed along the fuselage and cut afterwards to fit each of the side windows. Top of the canopy is a bit tricky, as the windows get smaller towards the fin. So I placed two thinner Aizu stripes (0,7 or 1mm), overlapping each other and then cut them similar way as the side windows. That's the whole story 🙂

Łukasz GlińskiMain spraying completed, the blue/silver border needs minor retouches, but I'm satisfied with the result. First I used Hataka's silver, but it's too translucent for me, so I went for the leftovers of Mr hobby H8 which I found in my stash 🙂

Łukasz GlińskiThanks, hopefully I'll have time to do the corrections over the weekend

Łukasz GlińskiSprayed, corrected, varnished and decalled 🙂 Today is the washing day!

Łukasz GlińskiThx Dave, it's not that bad, goes rather quick. Of course washing will take me some time as I always find the panel lines too shallow😉 Aside from that it's really a quickbuild kit.

Łukasz GlińskiCompleted. I'm happy with the result, especially with the blue - I love it and I need to build more blue planes 🙂
And once again, to my disappointment, I have to admit: washing is my weakest point, I still can't learn proper pin-washing 🙁

Alec KLooks great, I really like the blue as well. The hangar pics are super well lit IMHO 👍

Chris GreathouseI love the craftsmanship and all those sunny photos! #35 is my favorite, it really looks like you're rolling out of a hanger.

Daniel KlinkWonderful result Lukasz.. This is a rather old kit and especially the canopy is not that easy to paint.
You did a great job with this! 👍 Glad that the kit wanderes in good hands...🙂

Łukasz GlińskiThanks Daniel, that was rather quick and relaxing build, probably the shortest one I have had 🙂

Łukasz GlińskiThank you mates, that X-4 blue is my favourite indeed - I try to use it everywhere I can (see my Jetstream) 🙂
