marvin20 Posted January 11, 2015 Author Share Posted January 11, 2015 Additional progress photos. Paint being applied I used Tamiya acrylics to paint the yellow and green, and had to use Model Master Enamels French Blue for the blue. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Der Grüne Punkt Posted January 12, 2015 Share Posted January 12, 2015 That's some good looking tucano! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Serelle Posted January 14, 2015 Share Posted January 14, 2015 Nice work Marvin! I'm working on one as well, but gonna finish it in regular Brazilian grey/green camo. Keep posting. Serelle Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Joel_W Posted January 15, 2015 Share Posted January 15, 2015 Marvin, A very nice build with an incrediable paint scheme. Once you apply the Caracal decals, it should be a really amazing build. Looking forward to seeing the completed model. Joel Quote Link to post Share on other sites
marvin20 Posted January 16, 2015 Author Share Posted January 16, 2015 A few photos of the kit with a few of the decals applied. They go on so smoothly and without incident, I used Micro-Sol and Micro-Set to get them to adhere better. They fit snugly, and go into panel lines without any trouble. They look as if they have been painted on when dry. I hope you enjoy these few photos, will post more as I get more done. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Tom G Posted February 9, 2015 Share Posted February 9, 2015 Stunning, Marvin20!!! What a colorful scheme and it must have been a lot of masking and involved decals positioning. You nailed it! Very impressive. Tom Quote Link to post Share on other sites
