The "Floating Devastator" work: GWH 1/48

Nice model from GWH. The adhesive masks included in the kit are useless but there is no dificult when adding the decals on the wings with Micro-Sol. The canopy needed a lot of masking with masking tape or Bare Metal foil. The main problem in the assembly is the leading edge of the wings because you cannot sand it properly due to the relieve in the upper side of the wings. The best solution is to fill the gap the best you can with very diluted putty and paint the border of the yellow color just over the joint line.
The model is painted with Alclad Aluminium and AMMO acrylic paints. The panelling and soft weathering was made with Panel Line Washes from AMMO. The floats have a little more weathering with Scratches effects, Rainmarks, Engine Grime, and Slimy Grime products, also from AMMO. Hope you like it.

The Mig-21 chronicle (8).

Ok, a final update with photos of the finished quick diorama. Just some elements to put the Mig into context.
I used a Soviet Hex Airfield from Uschi Van Der Rosten, an Ural fuel tanker from Balaton Models, a soviet weapons loading cart by Aerobonus, photoetched wheel chocks from Brengun and a photoetched ladder from Eduard.
The gorgeous photos were shooted by Ricardo Rodríguez.

Here is the link for the whole aircraft photos: Mig-21

The "Spanish Hornet" work: Hasegawa 1/48.

After making  the "Spanish Adversary" with a former Top Gun´s F-18 in Spanish markings, I have had the feeling of being in the obligation to build a Hornet in the standard Spanish scheme. Of course the grey camo is not as eye-catching as the Navy´s adversary colors but with some weathering it looks really nice.
And here it is, I´m not a Lannister but I also pay my debts. Usually.
Apart from Hasegawa´s kit I also used the cockpit from Aires, the seamless air intakes from Rhino, Eduard´s AIM-9L Sidewinders and the "Export Bugs" decal sheet from F4Dable Models. 
I used Tamiya acrylics and Gunze´s Hobby colors to paint the aircraft. The weathering is done mainly with Ammo products except some effects in the flaps made with a graphite pencil.
Hope you like it.
