1/48 Trumpeter Pakistani JF-17 "Thunder"
by Kairasp Daruwala
Model :-
This Model is from Trumpeter, China's most reputed Manufacturer of plastic models. I was quite surprised to see this model, the casting was A++ , typical Trumpeters, decals were also A++, I started making this model in 1/4/2010, for 7th September 2010 being Pakistan Air Force day, I proceeded slowly, as usual for paints I used Testors, for China`s flag i.e. Red portion on the fuselage they recommended "Super Italian Red" which was not made by any paint manufacturer, only made by Mr Hobby, but it was not available here, so I used Testors " Gloss Red" which was of near match, color # 1203.
For decaling the model, first "Micro Gloss" was sprayed on it, when it dried decals were applied, when they dried again to seal the decals Micro Gloss was sprayed, then Promodellers wash was applied, then Micro Flat for my final coat. If you detect any imperfections in this model please excuse me, to paint this model I used my Badger Air-Brush # 150. I have very weak eye sight, tried to do my best. I hope you like my JF-17.
