Cap'n Wannabe Posted July 22, 2008 Share Posted July 22, 2008 That's a good looking cockpit....what did you use for the harness? It has an interesting texture to it.. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Unimodeler Posted July 22, 2008 Author Share Posted July 22, 2008 That's a good looking cockpit....what did you use for the harness? It has an interesting texture to it.. Thanks, The harness is made using medical tape... the kind you would use for bandaging a wound. (It's all I had on hand) Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Scalephantomphixer Posted July 22, 2008 Share Posted July 22, 2008 I like the instrument dials They are very realistic! Are they decals from the box? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Aggressor Supporter Posted July 22, 2008 Share Posted July 22, 2008 Great looking cockpit! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Unimodeler Posted July 22, 2008 Author Share Posted July 22, 2008 I like the instrument dials :) They are very realistic! Are they decals from the box? Thanks, and yes they are the kit decals... I punched the decals out with Waldron punches, and then once setting them down, used a little Future to simulate the dials. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Unimodeler Posted August 18, 2008 Author Share Posted August 18, 2008 Tamiya 1:48 Thunderbolt OoB Well it only took 3 days to finish the decals on the Tamiya cowling. They actually went down very well considering how complex the curve it's covering is. Took multiple coats of Micro Sol to get them to really suck it down. Had a minor disaster in the finishing. I sprayed Tamiya acrylic flat base over them thinking that it was a flat finish...apparently by BASE they mean an additive to turn paint flat. So I sprayed some future over it hoping to fix...no dice. I stripped it off with window cleaner... and had to use coffee filters to scrub it down..but it didn't affect the decal. I resprayed it with a good old rattle can of Model Master Flat Lacquer. (MM Flat lacquer is the only stuff I've ever been successful with...) anyway on to the pics.

Unimodeler Posted September 7, 2008 Author Share Posted September 7, 2008 Finally had a chance to get to the paint shop with this. Used Tamiya Flat Aluminum and Titanium Silver and some Grey. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
