Revell 1/48 EA-6A


Recommended Posts

O.K I think I can take this............

This is my recently finished EA-6A from Revell. This was a quick build for me but I think it highlights what I need to work on. This is what I know is wrong with it:

-air scoop is in wrong spot

-broke and lost part of front landing gear (vacuumed up)

-Probably over weathered (normal for me)

-had problems attaching canopy

-guilty of pre-shading

I welcome helpful comments (help me help myself :cheers: )

Thanks in advance

I like your weathering style (its alot like mine) But I would tighten up the pre shading and maybe add another light hide coat, maybe scuff and chip the boarding ladder, black out the IFR probe tip, blend in the touch up areas with a light dusting with a airbrush (starboard intake seam) and paint in the lights on the NLGD. Have you checked the height of your wing tips? I really like it, you have real talent and display artist craftsmanship. :thumbsup:

Don´t apologize for preshading, it´s just a technique among many and as such it can be combined with others and honed :thumbsup:

It´s a gorgeous build, maybe a tad over weathered :banana:

Maybe try to use lighter washes and a few more thin coats of paint over the preshade and you´re home!

Really well done!

Cheers!

Thanks guys for the input, sometimes it takes another set of eyes to see whats been missed or not well executed!

I've had a tough time with raised panel lines as far as weathering goes, your suggestions make a lot of sense.What's your take on adding the pilots?

Thanks again

Looks good to me...very nice....

love the weatering..even if sometimes i prefer a little bit less weatering...

i have the same kit..and i'm still deciding to engrave the panel lines or not....

also i'm going to use the paragon wing fold set

great build anyway.. i wish i could have the same model already done!!!

ciao
