Isaac Posted December 7, 2008 Share Posted December 7, 2008 (edited) Although I thought the cockpit was unnecessarily complicated, I really enjoyed this build. Not a perfect build but I'm pleased with the results. I tried using mig pigments to get a rusty look to the exhausts (quickboost). They look a bit overdone in my opinion. I'm going to tone them down a bit when I add some exhaust staining. Does anyone know what color the bombs should be? I would think they would be an rlm color but no rlm colors are specified. The photoetch canopy framing for the front drop down windows are giving me fits. They keep popping off. Edited December 13, 2008 by Isaac Quote Link to post Share on other sites

thom Posted December 8, 2008 Share Posted December 8, 2008 Looks great, lovely job. I'd recommend probably underside colour for the bombs, unless someone knows better. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Isaac Posted December 8, 2008 Author Share Posted December 8, 2008 That's unusual? did Iraq really own 110's? looks good Check it out here. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anglo-Iraqi_War As far as I know, they were piloted by the Germans. The German markings were painted over and the Iraqi markings put in their place. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Isaac Posted December 12, 2008 Author Share Posted December 12, 2008 Thanks for the comments! Great link. Thanks Mikester. Here are a few more pics. I tried adding them to the parent post but I was over the limit. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
jcfay Posted December 12, 2008 Share Posted December 12, 2008 Isaac - that looks great. How did you do the pigments, exactly? I picked up a set of some Mig pigments but I haven't used them yet but I'm going to soon, and curious how you did it. Once you do some exhaust staining too I think the rust is going to look perfect. Great build and thanks for posting! JON Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Great build and thanks for posting! ;) JON Hey Jon. Thanks for the comment. I am not completely sure how to use the pigments. I was experimenting. I first painting the exhaust stacks tamiya nato black. Then I tried two types of mig pigments. Standard rust and I believe it was light rust. First I applied (with a brush) the light rust and then the standard. Its really easy to rub off with your fingers so I think I need to invest in Mig's pigment fixer. I'm thinking of dusting them with a little bit of soot (or is it smoke). Either way its black pigment. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
