f12aaa Posted October 5, 2008 Author Share Posted October 5, 2008 Simone How do you get that splotchy look??? i tried and only got this look what am i doing wrong??? How many layers of paint are there on your Hornet in the pics? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ThunderGrunt Posted October 5, 2008 Share Posted October 5, 2008 About 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
f12aaa Posted October 5, 2008 Author Share Posted October 5, 2008 (edited) About 3 The number of the layers is right to me but you should vary the shade of the basic colors on each layer. On this project, after the preshading, I have painted a layer of the basic color then have airbrushed the same color very thinned darkened almost overall from a certain distance but not with the same intensity on each part. After that with the basic color lightened in 2-3 shades have done the touch-ups and spots with the paint well thinned and at very low pressure. Simone.

f12aaa Posted October 5, 2008 Author Share Posted October 5, 2008 Gloss coat airbrushed, now it's time to apply a lot of decals. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Andrew Doppel Posted October 8, 2008 Share Posted October 8, 2008 l look forward to seeing it with decals on. The paint work is great! I presume the A21-29 you are doing is the 75 Squadron bird with either the large Magpie or Top Hat on the tail? regards Andrew Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Andrew Doppel Posted October 8, 2008 Share Posted October 8, 2008 I am currently having this discussion with another person on the Aussie Modeller International forum as I have had this issue also in the past and have spoken to the manufacturers about it. It appears that the issue is not the colour but with the printing companies. The film on which the decals are printed causes the colour to lighten apparantly and this is why this occurs. Novascale which sells on the Aussie eBay have released a grey roundel sheet which I'm trying to establish will fix this problem. I'm going to get some at some stage and overlay their roundel over the current one to see whether it resolves the problem. I hope this sheds some light for you you on the problem.

f12aaa Posted October 10, 2008 Author Share Posted October 10, 2008 Decals placed, apart the national roundels I'm now waiting from another manufacturer :lol: , so I'm doing the panels washes. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Gambler Posted October 10, 2008 Share Posted October 10, 2008 (edited) Fantastic work so far Simone!! Yes, the Aussie roundels are a major PITA problem that seems to effect a lot of the decals that are availiable. As Andrew said, there is a discussion going on about it here if your interested, http://www.aussiemodeller.com/pages/discus...roup/forum.html Keep up the great work, i'm looking forward to seeing the end result. Cheers, Jeff. Edited October 10, 2008 by Gambler Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Andrew Doppel Posted October 11, 2008 Share Posted October 11, 2008 Where did you get these decals from and where are the replacements coming from? I ask because unless they are darker in colour the new ones may be as light as the others. Have a look at the discussion on AMI as 'Gambler' mentions. http://www.aussiemodeller.com/pages/discus...roup/forum.html Regards Andrew Quote Link to post Share on other sites

aspide85 Posted October 11, 2008 Share Posted October 11, 2008 beautiful bug..really amazing!what color have you used for the chrome part in the tail where will be attached the exhaust nozzles? thanks Quote Link to post Share on other sites
John Tavendale Posted October 12, 2008 Share Posted October 12, 2008 (edited) Looking great Simone! Can't wait to see it finished. Scott is coming to the party and they're printing some replacement roundels. I have some Hawkeye ones, and they're quite a bit darker. They're a little darker than intake warning markings on the AB sheet. Edited October 12, 2008 by John Tavendale Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Andrew Doppel Posted October 12, 2008 Share Posted October 12, 2008 As per John's post, Scott is sending me some corrections too so I can rectify my Hornet roundels which I painted over by hand (now too dark-refer below). regards Andrew Quote Link to post Share on other sites
f12aaa Posted October 12, 2008 Author Share Posted October 12, 2008 beautiful bug..really amazing!what color have you used for the chrome part in the tail where will be attached the exhaust nozzles?thanks It's Xtracolor aluminium (enamel) over Tamiya gloss black (acryl).
