Hi Specter Thank you for your answer I found another photo, and I think it will be easier to achieve the effect shown in this picture. And it's closer to what I need. Best regards Alex

Hello Thadeus Looks like you have been right This effect is indeed caused by the hot gases coming from the aircraft's nozzle, especially during afterburner operation. And this is clearly visible in the photo below. Best regards Alex

Hi Thadeus Thank you for your answer I have a fwe questions to you You said "The #4 I'd probably accentuate with some Tamiya Smoke painted on the base color. Perhaps even on top of that add some very thinned black." What do you mean under Tamiya Smoke, are you mean X-19 from Tamiya ? And "For the #6 II'd go with a mix of Your radome color with some white, to make it visibly slightly lighter, or mix it with base 36118 to make that color darker and to shift the hue a bit." This photo shows the color of the antenna fairing better, maybe this will make it easier

Hello Specter Thank you for your answer I think that the color under number 4 is due to the fact that the sun does not illuminate this surface, plus the effects of incandescent gases from the aircraft's nozzles. But since I haven't seen this aircraft in real life. I wanted to know if this is true or not? Regarding the different primer colors, that's a good idea, I think I'll prime the area under number 4 with dark gray. Best regards Alex

Hi all Anybody know? Best regards Alex

Hi all The next stage of painting will be the aircraft's tail fin, as it's the easiest part to paint. As you can see in the photo, the aircraft has 5 different shades of the same color. And while the color number 5 is clear, I think it's the basic FS36118 color, I personally have questions about the others. For example, to get color number 4 should I first cover the entire surface with black, and then with the base FS36118 color, or did this color turn out this way because it's a shadow that creates this color? It's also unclear about the other colors, how much should they

And version 2 I suppose that version 2 is better than ver. 1 Best regards Alex

Hi all I've started painting the model. What do you think Best regards Alex

Hello Steve I made a few corrections to it. Best regards Alex

Hello All A small update from me. I did a test painting of the nose cone in 1/72 scale. I was looking at this photo. What do you think, does the color look similar, or should I redo it? Best regards Alex

The stage of painting the model has come. And I have a number of questions about painting the nose cone. As you can see in the photo, zones 1 and 2 have different color tones. Or rather, I think that zone 2 is more faded in color than zone 1. Of course, we can talk about color tabulation and color changes, etc. But in this case, I want to reproduce the color palette as in these photos. Therefore, I see 3 ways. 1) This is painting the entire nose cone in black and then applying a layer of black diluted with solvent. 2) take a white primer, paint the fairing with it and black on t

Do I understand correctly that it is necessary to first dilute the yellow color in the solvent, spray it, and then apply the black color on top, also diluting it in the solvent beforehand? Best regards Alex

Thnx Steve Can anyone else suggest anything? Best regards Alex
