A-10 LOADER Posted April 22, 2016 Share Posted April 22, 2016 Bombs for the Bombcat! ...the model will get some dirt and weathering... everything was there where it belongs? -> excuse my bad english Wow, I am blown away that this is 1/72nd scale, great work. I did notice something I thought you should know. The top picture, showing the belly of the jet, has the intake area painted white. This is incorrect, that area should be gray. The white should be on the inside of the intake. I just thought you should know because you are doing such a beautiful job so far. Steve Quote Link to post Share on other sites
plasticWerks_JL Posted April 22, 2016 Share Posted April 22, 2016 Arne, forgive me if you already explained these, but could you share your process for painting and weathering the cockpit, and for using watercolors for weathering? I'm considering trying watercolors myself, but am wondering how you use them. Thanks for any explanation you can provide! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Arne Posted April 22, 2016 Author Share Posted April 22, 2016 @ A-10 Loader : Damned :o - Thats right what you say .. - too late :( - But Thanks for Your Tip! @ plasticWerks_JL : I don't use watercolors for painting - only for weathering. For watherinmg with watercolors i used very simply paintbox for school or watercolors from Revell. Because of my poor English I do prefer an image - i hope that's ok: Quote Link to post Share on other sites
plasticWerks_JL Posted April 22, 2016 Share Posted April 22, 2016 Thank you Arne, I understand you just fine! When you use watercolors for weathering, do you put a gloss coat down first? And are you using a thinner? Thanks again, looking forward to another update Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Eric B. Posted April 24, 2016 Share Posted April 24, 2016 Arne, Congratulations, this is fantastic job so far and I am sure you will carry on that way. The 1/72nd Hasegawa model of the Tomcat is my favorité kit of my favorite airplane - bar maybe the much newer Fine Molds F-14D model. You are precisely proving how valuable that 25+ year old moulding still is.. I love your post and will follow it's development to the end. Cheers Eric B. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Major Walt Posted April 25, 2016 Share Posted April 25, 2016 Amazing! This is a beautiful and inspiring build! Your work in 1/72nd scale is better than many in 1/32! Awesome and thanks!! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Arne Posted April 25, 2016 Author Share Posted April 25, 2016 (edited) Thanks for your your good Comments :)/> ...Meanwhile, I was already a few steps further... The Bombcat has found her Place on a Carrier-Deck and the Mechanics finished the final works on the Cannon... - but these false brushed Intakes :wacko:/> ...so flew the Bomcat back again on my Airbrush.. Thanks to A-10 Loader for his helpfull critic ! It was a little bit tricky, but the foreward area of the Intakes are grey :) Now i must do the Chain's again ...

A-10 LOADER Posted April 25, 2016 Share Posted April 25, 2016 Great work and good job fixing the intakes Arne, they look MUCH better. Once the Cat is back on her spot on the deck, all the work will have been worth it. I am still blown away by your attention to details at this scale, BRAVO !!
