prophet Posted October 21, 2011 Share Posted October 21, 2011 Still Working on my first model, a movie F-14 Top Gun (Revell, 1/48). I'm currently trying to paint the interior of the engines. According to some research I did, the interior is ceramic white, so I used white as a base colour. To add dirt, I used Model Masters jet exhaust, but that doesn't come close to some reference pictures (http://www.s205409446.onlinehome.us/AWA1/101-200/walk169_tomcat/disk1/Mvc-032s.jpg). Could anyone please share their process for painting the interior of the engines? Same question for the engine shroudh and nozzles. I was planning to use metal, burnt metal and pale burnt metal. But again, any advice would be much appreciated. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
2qwik4u Posted October 21, 2011 Share Posted October 21, 2011 Hi prophet. I typically use India Ink or a brown wash on the insides of my exhausts over the white base. Usually, I'll give it an overall wash and then go back and run lines of wash down the length with a thin brush to get the streaking. Here is a picture of some 1/72 F-4 exhausts I recently finished: Also, check out my 1/72 F-14 build from a year ago, the engines are on page 3 at the bottom: Page 3 Hope this helps. -Dave Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Andre Posted October 24, 2011 Share Posted October 24, 2011 ok, so this is what I got. any comments or advice on how to improve it? Looks pretty good to me. Perhaps you could accentuate the striped smudges just a tad more... Cheers, Andre Quote Link to post Share on other sites
