Usually I build aircraft gears up as I prefer seeing them in flight, but after picking up the Italeri 1/72 Carrier flight deck kit, I needed to start building a few gears down
I cut the wing flaps and repositioned to mimic a pre- take off type of position
still need to finish the decals and some weathering/fading but I was satisfied with the Light Gull Grey color.
Wound up using Vallejo's straight from the bottle.
I had done a custom mix with Tamiya paints on my previous 3 LIght Gull Grey color scheme with my 1/72 Academy F-14, F-4 and Hasegawa F-8
I also have to remove that "nub" on the tail fin. Apparently it is not supposed to be there, or is only there on later models or something?
