Bench Update July 28th

Can someone tell me what happened to July? Not a ton of time but slow and steady progress. The Moosaroo cup kit arrived but I have to wait until August 1st to open it up. In the meantime I have continued work on a Bandai 1/144 Tie Fighter, part of a set of two with the other one being the Tie Advanced. It was the perfect time to try some new products with the Tie Fighter. Primed and then put a coat of Aqueous Metal Black on. Next step after a gloss coat of Aqua-Gloss, I am trying the Mr. Metallic Color GX Metal Violet, mixed with Mr. Color Rapid Thinner I did a 40/60 paint to thinner and applied just 2-3 very light misting coats. Behind you can see one of my paint mules I use for testing new products. I’m quite pleased with the results.

1/72 Hobbyboss SU 47

Picked up at Broughdale Hobbies. The Su-47 was a test bed used to look into next-generation tech. The aircraft is bigger than you think and will make another candidate for the RCAF what-if project.

CF-200 Muskrat

De Havilland Canada’s entry in the RCAF’s contract for the next generation of strike aircraft was the CF-200 Muskrat. Rumoured to be heavily influenced by an aerospace engineer who defected from the USSR. The Cf-200 approached the stealth issue in a different way than the CF-199 Panther. Radar absorbing panels at sharp angles help deflect the radar beams. In the end, the Muskrat lost the contract to the Panther but two were retained by the RCAF as test beds.
