Ryan Hothersall Posted December 16, 2015 Author Share Posted December 16, 2015 Undercarriage and tanks attached. Just waiting for the weather to cool down before attempting to do any major painting. No good painting in 40° Celsius heat. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Ryan Hothersall Posted December 20, 2015 Author Share Posted December 20, 2015 Put a coat of primer on today. The weather has cooled enough to paint. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Ryan Hothersall Posted December 27, 2015 Author Share Posted December 27, 2015 Used Humbrol 191 silver for the main painting. Once dry then put the gloss clear coat on as I find its the best way for protecting silver finishes from fingerprints etc.. Next step is to paint detail parts like the undercarriage and exhaust etc. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Ryan Hothersall Posted December 31, 2015 Author Share Posted December 31, 2015 decals applied today. Used insignia decals from a print scale MiG-17 sheet and the numbers came from a Fujimi MiG-21 sheet. Trying to put on individual numbers on is a bit fiddly. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
