Lorebor Posted March 30, 2016 Share Posted March 30, 2016 (edited) Hi everybody, this is a Monogram A-6E with a Wolfpack cockpit, Brassin Mk-20s, Fightertown decals and many photoetched parts coming from various sets (Mainly Eduard and Verlinden)... The fire truck is from the Verlinden range... Cheers! Edited March 30, 2016 by Lorebor Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Platycqb Posted March 30, 2016 Share Posted March 30, 2016 Nice! Love the weathering. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
skuki Posted March 30, 2016 Share Posted March 30, 2016 (edited) That is great paintjob, and nice scribing too - not an easy work there. Can you explain how did you chip that red paint on the vehicle? It looks amazing! Edited March 30, 2016 by skuki Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Dave Roof Posted March 30, 2016 Share Posted March 30, 2016 Wow, that looks really nice! I have 6 sets of the Brassin MK-20........one day I'll find time to actually use them. You did an excellent job getting them mounted properly. Dave Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Lorebor Posted March 30, 2016 Author Share Posted March 30, 2016 Can you explain how did you chip that red paint on the vehicle? It looks amazing! The red paint on the vehicle was chipped with the hairspray technique: after painting white the whole vehicle, I masked the stripes with Tamiya tape and sprayed some hairspray where the red paint would go. I then I airbrushed the red paint, took away the mask and after a few minutes I started to scratch away the red paint, using a stiff brush dipped in warm water... Cheers!

Don Posted March 30, 2016 Share Posted March 30, 2016 Wow VERY nice ! I love the weathering and tasteful display. What tool did you use to rescribe the panel lines? They look awesome. Don. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Adam1818 Posted March 31, 2016 Share Posted March 31, 2016 Perfection!! Wish I could do paint work like that Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Whiskey Posted March 31, 2016 Share Posted March 31, 2016 (edited) Really cool job man. I especially like how you highlighted around caps and small panels, kinda gives it a look of more depth than just straight flat across. What did you think of the Wolfpack cockpit?

EagleAviation Posted March 31, 2016 Share Posted March 31, 2016 Superb build! Like your finish and the caution to detail. Can't wait for your next model. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Lorebor Posted March 31, 2016 Author Share Posted March 31, 2016 (edited) Wow VERY nice ! I love the weathering and tasteful display. What tool did you use to rescribe the panel lines? They look awesome. Don. Panel lines were rescribed using this old blade, drawn backward as shown by the arrow: When I have to rescribe small circular or elliptical panels I change the triangular blade with a needle. What did you think of the Wolfpack cockpit? Even though on the Wolfpack set you can read "For Revell/Kinetic 1/48", the cockpit doesn't fit too well to the Revell kit; I had to do a lot of adjustment, especially around the rear part of the cockpit. As you can see in the following picture, most of the detail I lost was regained with photoetched parts coming from an Eduard fret. Since the cockpit is fairly wide, I've been able to build the entire model before painting it... Verlinden cockpit fits a bit better the Revell kit, but the Wolfpack detail is much better...

Fighting Eighty-Four Posted March 31, 2016 Share Posted March 31, 2016 It is hard to fathom that the A-6E I built and the one you built came from the same kit (Monogram/Revell). Mine is just are not in the same league. LOL Your work is flawless. Definitely the work of a master. Bravo! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
A-10 LOADER Posted April 1, 2016 Share Posted April 1, 2016 BEAUTIFUL WORK on both subjects !! I really miss the A-6. Steve Quote Link to post Share on other sites
wardog Posted April 1, 2016 Share Posted April 1, 2016 Wow, awesome work. Really like the weathering and scribing......you definitely took your time and it shows. Out of curiosity, did you use the kit windscreen? It's one of the worst fitting parts on these kits. The fit seems really good in the pic you posted. Anyway.....GREAT JOB! E.

Lorebor Posted April 1, 2016 Author Share Posted April 1, 2016 Out of curiosity, did you use the kit windscreen? It's one of the worst fitting parts on these kits. The fit seems really good in the pic you posted. Yes, I used the kit windscreen and it fit quite well to the fuselage; I just had to insert a piece of plasticard where the air refuelling probe was supposed to touch the windscreen because, as you can see in the picture, it left a hole...

Janissary Posted April 4, 2016 Share Posted April 4, 2016 Excellent build! The scribing is unbelievable. Is "perfect" a critique? In fact, yes. A critique can be positive, negative, or both. The word has somehow taken on a negative connotation in daily usage. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
