Wow,
Incredible finish and it’s acrylic!?
Well done Quiddy,
Mr. Happy
All the paints are acrylic. I used Vallejo Metal Air paints for the metallic paints along with Vallejo Air for the other colours.

Haven’t posted here for a bit. Here is my Tamiya P-47D Thunderbolt. I added an Ultracast resin seat and used Mike Grant decals for the markings. For the paint I used Vallejo throughout except I used Mission Models black primer.

Turned out great! It took you long enough but it was worth it. Congrats on the win also.

Painted with Vallejo paints. Decals from the kit. The seal around the windows was painted on then distressed with a toothpick. I tried to emulate the real thing.

Tamiya 1/48 scale F-16C. Painted with Vallejo paints. Used Shull24 resin exhaust.

They were used by then as a bombing and gunnery trainer as well as a target tug. I want to do mine as a bombing and gunnery.trainer.

Hi all, I am currently working on Revell's PV-1 Ventura, which I am doing up in Canadian markings from the early 50's. My question is what style of bombs did we use at that time? American or British? The version I want to do is a B> Ventura from RCAF Station Trenton.
thanks,
Wayne Beattie

The topic says it all. I am currently building an A-20G and wondering what the interior colour the engine nacelle would be. I am leaning towards interior green.
Thnaks,

In early 2017, I am going to finish my Trumpeter Seahawk 100. Then I am going to finish my Draken that has been sitting on the desk for a little while. My plan is finish my Mig-23 , Mig-21, C-45F in Canadian markings. I want to start a CF-104D as well as a A-37B. There could be a few more that I start but may have to finish in 2018.Too many kits not enough time.

This is my first build with these paints. So far I really have no complaints. I let the paint dry roughly 24 hours between painting and masking just like their other paints I use. After about an hour they are dry to the touch but for me I still let them sit for a day. The coverage is good. A couple of light coats and its done. I painted the darker panels with dark aluminum. After the masking was pulled, my personal take on it was there was to much contrast. I may have put too many coats on. I thinned the aluminum a little bit more and over sprayed it. It did cut the contrast a bit. Other than that I liked the finish.
Hope this helps.

I have the fuselage together. Not sure if it was my fault but I had a nice size trench to fill between the upper and lower front fuselage section. Fix it with some Superglue as filler. Next comes the wings. I am not putting any rockets on this one. All comments are welcome.

Thanks for the advice. I have the tail section together already. Still haven't even looked at the cockpit yet. Opening up the gun ports right now.

Hi Quiddy,
I've got one of these half built, couple of things worth looking into -
Break the build process down a bit funny. attach the flying surfaces to the wings before you glue the wings together, You'll get a much better fit unless you're installing them drooped.
Build the tail section up and glue it to the top half of the fuselage. Attach the bottom of the fuselage afterwards.
It all helps beat gaps!
Cheers,
Simon

painted the main landing gear bay. I am using Vallejo paints for the whole kit and the new Vallejo metal paints for the landing gear bays. I painted it using the Dark Aluminum. The landing gear bay is just dry fitted against the bottom fuselage.
All comments welcome

Hi all, been a long while since I started a build on here. I got this from Flanker27 during the Great Christmas Raffle on here. For this kit I didn't start with the cockpit. I started with the main landing gear wells. I am also going to open up the gun troughs because on the kit they are just dents. For it being such a recent kit some parts need some work to look presentable. The intakes for instance, a lot of work to clean up. Not sure the markings I am going to do, but I am leaning towards a Netherlands Navy plane if I can get the decals.
All comments are welcome.

I looked for a long time for an acrylic metal paint. I was very happy when Vallejo came out with this paint.
