Rotorman Posted June 26, 2016 Author Share Posted June 26, 2016 (edited) The fueltank is a bit too dark. I will correct that. The IP console will be flat black. The floor is deep cockpit color from Life color set. It looks like there are several different shades of black in that cockpit.

Liberator24 Posted June 26, 2016 Share Posted June 26, 2016 OMG, paint, OMG, paint!!!!!!! So glad you've stuck with it!! Still jaw dropping work. -Jim Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Rotorman Posted June 26, 2016 Author Share Posted June 26, 2016 Black rubber from Tamiya was used for the console..it's a deeper black then the floor. I will do some drybrushing on the floor and console. I also work on the deck and sprayed paint with grainthe specs to give it texture. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

hawkwrench Posted June 30, 2016 Share Posted June 30, 2016 So Oliver, I have a dumb question. Do you glue the parts on then paint them? Or do you paint them, then glue them on? Example--your center console. Did you glue it onto the floor and then masked it off when you painted the cockpit floor? Tim Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Tim Tim, there is never a dumb question..i usually try to paint the part first then glue it on, i have also done the opposite...in that instance I glued the console first then painted it.

That leads me to another question Oliver, how do you do to get a good bond? everytime I try to glue a painted piece I make a mess because of a weak bond, no matter what kind of glue I use, It looks like the only bond is between the two layers of paint and almost all of the time I end up tearing the paint appart Edited June 30, 2016 by kike Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I have done some paint retouching in some instance. I hope this helps. oliver Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Rotorman Posted July 2, 2016 Author Share Posted July 2, 2016 (edited) Took a while to get the beams flush.couple holes need to be fixed..I spray grey first so I could check for repairs before I glue the remaining PE. Edited July 2, 2016 by Rotorman Quote Link to post Share on other sites
