Lorebor Posted October 29, 2016 Share Posted October 29, 2016 (edited) Hi, this is my Italeri 1/32 F-104S. I used an Aires cockpit, Brassin wheels and engine exhaust and Videoaviation SUU-21 pod; the fire extinguisher was scratchbuilt...

polybebber Posted October 29, 2016 Share Posted October 29, 2016 Outstanding model, your paintwork belongs to the best I've seen !!! Lothar Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Collin Posted October 29, 2016 Share Posted October 29, 2016 Agree with Lothar...your paintwork is absolutely fantastic. Do you use a oil weathering technique? Any chance you can explain your painting method? Cheers Collin Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I deposit some oil color on the flat suface of the model... ...then I spread it around using a flat brush... ...and then, after about 5 minutes, I removed the oil color with a flat brush moistened with turpentine... ...trying to leave a very subtle white random pattern on the fuselage... I did the same operation using black oil color before doing it with white... Cheers! Lorenzo Edited September 11, 2017 by Lorebor Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Joerg Posted October 31, 2016 Share Posted October 31, 2016 Mindblowingly good finish. Smearing that black oil paint on such a nicely painted and decalled model would scare me to hell though...! Joerg Quote Link to post Share on other sites
falcon91352 Posted October 31, 2016 Share Posted October 31, 2016 Wow, this is a really nice F-104S from the Italeri kit. Despite all the doomsayers, this excellent model is the proof that the Italeri kit is a good basis for a convincing F-104! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I use future->micro set->micro-sol->future, and I am sure decals would go off or get damaged if I used terpentyne to remove excess oil colour P.S. the weathering looks beautiful!!!

Jan, I use your same method and never had any problems with the decals; I just make sure to be very gentle when I wipe the excess oli on the decals... Sometimes, instead of Micro Set/Sol I use Gunze MrMark Softer and never had any problem with it... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Jan Posted January 2, 2017 Share Posted January 2, 2017 thanks. I will test your method on my current project!! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Hi Tom, I didn't paint the model black; I just did a black preshading as you can see in the picture: Cheers! Lorenzo Quote Link to post Share on other sites
