I should have listened to you, Elliot. You guys have it great over here...
I did get some basic paint on this little guy tonight. I made the metal parts a different shade of green, which seems a bit stark now, but with some weathering and overcoats, I think things will fade together OK. First, the metal parts are painted, then masked off and then the other green added and masks removed. I assembled the whole thing so you can get a feel for the beast. Finally, a shot of the air intakes (and my hard working son in the background...homework is a real bummer).      Tomorrow I'll start adding markings like any letters and numbers, then it's on to the blue fields with yellow crowns!  Thanks for looking and cheers, Dan

I got a bit more done tonight by starting on the markings. I decided to add a "D" to the fin sides and the cowling as well. This is not supposed to be a specific plane, but the markings mirror many photos I've seen. Ultimately, I'll put a "4" on the fuselage side along with the Swedish markings.
The photos show how I painted the letters on. In the first shot, I've cut out a mask for the red part using Tamyia tape. Second, after painting red, I've masked off the red with a smaller "D" inlaid on the inside. Finally, I sprayed white, removed all the masking, did a tiny bit of touch up and you have red letters with white surrounds.    I'll start tackling the main markings tomorrow. That should brighten this little guy up immensely. Cheers, Dan

That's a good job Dan. Looking forward to seeing the plane with complete markings.

Thanks, Elliot...
Though I still need to put a "4" on the fuselage (my wife's suggestion...there are four of us in the family) the hard parts are done! I got the main markings on. Now I need to put black outlines around the crowns (I think) but the basics are here at last!   I must say this is more satisfying than a plastic model. AND...there ARE no plastic 1/32nd (33rd) J-22s around. Super cool indeed. Dan

Thanks, Douglas. It's been a fun experiment!
Here are some more shots. It's getting closer.     Highlights include: navigation lights, gun shrouds and antenna with insulators attached as well as a new exhaust and the crazy landing gear linkages. I still need to make brake lines and gear doors but it's close now. More soon...Dan

nice build, specially the painting. Airbrush ? if so I'm curious about your mixing.

Thanks, All...
DJE: Yes...airbrush. I just use Tamyia acrylics over grey primer and I thin with rubbing alcohol. Basically until the paint looks like milk consistency??? Seems to work well and the paper isn't getting drenched etc. Dries fast too. Cheers, Dan

All,
I got back to trying to finish this little model. All I really need is to make a canopy, paint the frames, put it on and make a gun site. Then, just a tad of weathering/airbrushing and she'll be done. Here you see the canopy mold with tape frames and then the almost visible finished/cut apart product. I'll get her on the fuselage soon.   It will be nice to finish this little experiment. Cheers, Dan
