Mike D Posted March 13, 2017 Share Posted March 13, 2017 (edited) I picked up the Trumpeter 1/72 Shenzhou 5 on sale from Squadron lately, but it does not (or mine did not) come with paint callouts. A bit of googling around finds lots of drawings, but very few decent overall paint reference pictures. Is there a source for a paint guide for this vehicle, or one much like it? Thanks, Mike Edited March 14, 2017 by Mike D Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Solo7 Posted March 23, 2017 Share Posted March 23, 2017 This is what one modeler did with the kit: http://www.ninfinger.org/models/vault2005/Shenzhou/index.html Chinese material on their space program is hard to get, most of the books are printed in B&W. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Mike D Posted March 24, 2017 Author Share Posted March 24, 2017 Thanks Solo, I managed to get much the same finish on mine. I did not do the smaller thruster units as black, but overall much the same. Too bad it is such a rough kit with little info available on the finish. Thanks Mike Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Solo7 Posted March 24, 2017 Share Posted March 24, 2017 Maybe thats why the next model Trumpeter did of the Shenzhou 10 the model was pre-painted out of the box. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
