Ok this what i had done before my little insadent last night think i’ll stick to working during the day [:)] The ejection seats are from cutting edge but used the kit parts for the face ejection curtan. The exaust nozzles where painted burnt iron then with clear smoke i then masked the out side and shot them flat black from the inside blowing paint the direction of the exaust flow that gave me little voids that i then painted with a mix of clear orange and clear smoke after that dried i went back over them with clear smoke.
This is the 20mm gun pod that goes on the center line underneithe it will get painted gray.

In mesa its a real town Iam a city boy. I was born here in mesa Az in 71 moved to illinois lived there for 10 years and then moved to colorado springs cause my dad got stationed at peterson AFB lived there until 88 and moveed back to Arizona. I know not really what you asked but i figured id give you the run down.
Ill tell you I was born in Birmingham AL in 1971, moved to Knoxville TN cause dad got a better job, moved here to Tuscaloosa AL to go to The University of Alabama (12 national championships) and never left. [#offtopic]So any way back to models now.
Great looking progress there. I like your idea on the exhausts, and the inside portion looks very realistic. Just last week I was trying to get the same effect on my F104 exhaust, but it didn’t come out as good as yours. Not too late though, so I may steal your idea.
Keep up with the progress reports, and tell your Dad ‘Thank You’ for his service to our Country.
