dmthamade Posted July 1, 2011 Author Share Posted July 1, 2011 (edited) Didn't know that about rubbing alchohol, ya learn something new every day. I had the oven cleaner so i went at it with the Easy Off. Yes? No? don't hold back. Don Edited July 1, 2011 by dmthamade Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Netz Posted July 1, 2011 Share Posted July 1, 2011 I'd go with the factory yellow with the black bumble bee strip, that was always an intimidating color. Or something I've always wanted to try, is to have something like your Flag scheme with a factory paint over, and having the factory paint being peeled off to reveal the red white and blue underneath, seen on a few F-16 demo jets.

dmthamade Posted July 1, 2011 Author Share Posted July 1, 2011 I'm leaning towards a factory color. The yellow is nice, but i'm leaning towards Slime Green with a flat black hood. The paint peeling revealing the flag idea is cool, too. Kinda like the Luftwaffe Tigermeet scheme? I don't have the skills to pull that one off, though. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
dmthamade Posted July 1, 2011 Author Share Posted July 1, 2011 NO Went with green. Used a Tamiya spray bomb. Spray bombs have changed a lot since i last used them. Stuff went on really nicely. Think i might try one on my next 1/32 aircraft build. Don Quote Link to post Share on other sites
dmthamade Posted July 1, 2011 Author Share Posted July 1, 2011 Yeah, this color makes more sense. Don Quote Link to post Share on other sites
dmthamade Posted July 10, 2011 Author Share Posted July 10, 2011 Finally finished the build. I used Bare metal foil for the first time, doing the trim around the windows. Stuff seems to work nicely, will probably use it in aircraft. The Tamiya spray bomb worked really well, i bought a can of Light Ghost Grey to finish off a Trumpy F-14. Anyway, some pics of the build.

Neo Posted July 10, 2011 Share Posted July 10, 2011 sweet she looks amazing i was a little worry when you posted the first pic of the green it just didnt look right Dont know what you did to maek it come out like the final pics but it made the paint job look sweet. BTW i love the flat black hood Cheers Neo Quote Link to post Share on other sites
dmthamade Posted July 10, 2011 Author Share Posted July 10, 2011 I hit autofix in the camera editing program. The first pics looked wrong, the green too light. The finished pics are spot on for actual color of the build. Really impressed with the Tamiya sprays, i build 1/32 jets and will try them for the overall coat on some builds.

Dirkpitt289 Posted October 5, 2011 Share Posted October 5, 2011 When I was growing up these cars (more so the body style)were everywhere and they did nothing for me. Now when I see them all these years later I get a kind of a rush. You did an amazing job on this one. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
