Rotorhead Posted February 19, 2012 Share Posted February 19, 2012 Hello All, I have lost the link to a really superb Japanese website featuring a great number of finished aircaft models that have been superbly weathered. As I don't read Japanese I can't say much more but here are a few examples of a truely gifted artist's renderings of 2 models and just maybe it will jog your thinking cap: Many Thanks.........

Rotorhead Posted February 27, 2012 Author Share Posted February 27, 2012 An Update. I found the link that I THOUGHT I was looking for but alas, it was the wrong one. It seems that I had lost this one also. Here it is: Linky I'd still love to find the page where those photos in my original post came from. That is an extraordinary artist IMHO. So if anyone recongnizes that artist, please post a link. Thanks for the help. Regards Steve Quote Link to post Share on other sites
blunce Posted February 27, 2012 Share Posted February 27, 2012 (edited) I'm pretty sure this YouTube user is the one who made that Zero. The url for the Zero you posted is for a photobucket account of SK65pilot, which I did a google search for and found the YT channel. You might try sending them a message or post a message on YT to contact them and find out the site they were posting to. http://www.youtube.com/user/SK65Pilot *edit*: both models pictured above are hosted on the same persons photobucket account.

Rotorhead Posted February 28, 2012 Author Share Posted February 28, 2012 Hey Brian.....good tracking! Unfortunately..............that's me. I used photobucket to be able to post here. I still want to know the artist of those two models. At least to know the probable painting process. Looks like a mix between airbrush and brush. Regards Steve Quote Link to post Share on other sites
blunce Posted February 28, 2012 Share Posted February 28, 2012 ohh, heh. Well I guess that leads a dead end then. That zero has an amazing paintjob on it, hopefully someone will recognize it. If you end finding the link to the site, please post it, I'd like to see the site as well. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Rotorhead Posted February 28, 2012 Author Share Posted February 28, 2012 (edited) Brian, yes, indeed.....I'll keep you posted. I went searching in Japan using Google Japan. I even used the translator to search in Japanese. Thats how I re-found that one site. it's just hard to navigate a site once i get to it. Maybe someone here could disscet that paint job for us and give thier "best guess". Enamel? Acrylic? Oil? A Mixture? It's just an amazing job. I'll keep looking. BTW Brian, I have been following your P-40 build..... Regards Steve Edited February 28, 2012 by Rotorhead Quote Link to post Share on other sites
