Greetings one and all! Happy 4th of July weekend..
In short, I usually post my builds start to finish but this one is 2 1/2yrs in the making (on and off)
Here is the steps from being primed to the wash/panel wash stages.
Thank you for letting me share and Happy Modeling,
Mike
The camo was all free handed with am airbrush. I did an overall wash using Windsor Newtons burnt umber then used MiGs interior wash which is a brownish green color.. It looks more like faded OD with a touch of dirt over bare paint..
Living on the edge and loving it!
Happy Modeling,
Mike
You are doing great work. The camouflage pattern is tight for free hand work.
Ahoy Butz. Whoa baby. That is really looking nice. Love the A4’s.
Great work on the camo, the colors are very vibrant.
Thank you so much for the compliment, Steve! Trust me, doing that scheme freehanded was a PITA thanks to some of the curves on the fuselage!
Happy Modeling,
Mike
Thank you so much and yes, who doesn’t like the A-4 especially as an aggressor?
Happy Modeling,
Mike
Thank you Chris, I definitely took my time that’s fer sure!
This particular jet came to VF-126 as Bort 24(nose no.) and at some point, was changed to Bort 27.
Gotta love the wear n tear of these aggressor birds!
Below is the aircraft that I’m modeling.
Happy Modeling,

Very nice work Mike, she’s looking great.
Steve
Outstanding work on the camo, Butz 
Some of those edges really look hard edged. Can’t wait to see this completed 
A killer paint job for sure. I really like the modulation effect.
Definitely an eye popping scheme. Congratulations Mike.
