Van Buren Boys Posted August 4, 2015 Share Posted August 4, 2015 Greetings! I have just finished up Fujimi's F-35B using new decals from Caracal Models. As with my F-35C, I used a custom mix of paint like so: And also like the F-35C, there was a lot of masking to do, a pain to be sure, but I am pleased with the results.

AlienFrogModeller Posted August 4, 2015 Share Posted August 4, 2015 Nice build sir! Well done. Tell me more about the Paint Mixer app? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Van Buren Boys Posted August 5, 2015 Author Share Posted August 5, 2015 (edited) Thanx for the kind words! The Paint Mixer app is called iModelKit. Basically you can select any color from a number of sources (FS, Testors, ..., even from a picture in your camera roll) and you then select up to three colors and click the calculator icon, and the app figures out the proportions to match the color of interest. Very, very handy. Edited August 5, 2015 by Van Buren Boys Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Van Buren Boys Posted August 5, 2015 Author Share Posted August 5, 2015 The canopy frame is just a piece of electrical tape on the inside. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
