Jinro Posted November 26, 2011 Share Posted November 26, 2011 (edited) Just finished my third ever kit, an Academy 1/72 South Korean KF-16C. It has tons of flaws, which is why it's not going in Critique Corner First time using my airbrush. First time using a wash. First time attempting to paint NAV lights. First time making a display base. First time my decals didn't silver! Although the wash looks a little overdone to me, and I had some slip ups while cutting the mask. And I completely forgot to paint the in-flight refueling thingy. Oh well, live and learn. Edited November 26, 2011 by Jinro Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Karl Sander Posted November 26, 2011 Share Posted November 26, 2011 I don't think my first attempt at a wash turned out nearly so good - congrats on a really nice build! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Jinro Posted November 27, 2011 Author Share Posted November 27, 2011 (edited) Thanks guys. I guess I had a healthy dose of beginner's luck. I wish I could have gotten the wash a little cleaner--the entire aircraft looks like it's coated in a burnt umber dust. I also learned why seamless intakes are so popular I actually didn't do a wash on the landing gear bays--I just did a few light coats of white and let the gray of the plastic show through for kind of a pre-shading effect. Hopefully on my next build I can try pre-shading. Edited November 27, 2011 by Jinro Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Aggressor Supporter Posted December 7, 2011 Share Posted December 7, 2011 I think it looks good and like the armaments. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
PetarB Posted December 7, 2011 Share Posted December 7, 2011 Really nice, came out well. I think the burner can could use a little touch-up though. The bubble canopy looks fantastic. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
