Joel_W Posted November 22, 2017 Share Posted November 22, 2017 (edited) Jan, Just a spectacular build. Outstanding finish with the slightest of weathering for a extremely well maintained aircraft. I do have one question. Your recess panel line wash looks more like a darkish Gray then black, and works extremely well with the light gray and white colors, much more so then the more traditional black guys like me would have used. Did you use a commercial product or is it a home made color, and what color did you use? Joel Edited November 22, 2017 by Joel_W Quote Link to post Share on other sites
oppenheimerj Posted November 22, 2017 Author Share Posted November 22, 2017 Hi Joel, thanks, i did use AK panel line wash grime color, is a mix of brown and gray, as always i dont like to use black wash for the panel lines, to much contrast with light colors, on the bottom side i used a Ak filter called yellow gray for white on all the panel lines jorge Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Janissary Posted November 23, 2017 Share Posted November 23, 2017 Jorge, another one of your marvelous builds. Your photos are fantastic also. I'd love to see even more closeups. Can you explain how you did the deck? Did you build and paint that? Everything even its texture looks impressive. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Peterpools Posted November 23, 2017 Share Posted November 23, 2017 Jorge Brilliant Tomcat👍 Finish and the light weathering .. beautifully done and right up my alley😊 Peter Quote Link to post Share on other sites
GEH737 Posted November 23, 2017 Share Posted November 23, 2017 Jorge - really nicely done. I'm about half way through one of those myself, and I was wondering about the kit decals. Did you have any problems with them - and what did you use for the underlying gloss coat? George Quote Link to post Share on other sites
oppenheimerj Posted November 23, 2017 Author Share Posted November 23, 2017 Hi George, i didn’t use the kit decals, never liked tamiya’s decals, they are thick, i used Furball decals, about the gloss finish for the decals, also didn’t use any, the satin finish of MRP paints is perfect for the decals to set without any silvering effect Jorge Quote Link to post Share on other sites
GEH737 Posted November 23, 2017 Share Posted November 23, 2017 Thanks Jorge - I've got the Furball set - but the printing on the Tamiya decals always looks nice, and I'd thought maybe I'd give them a try. Yours looked so nice - I wondered if you had used them. Furball it is :) George Quote Link to post Share on other sites
oppenheimerj Posted November 24, 2017 Author Share Posted November 24, 2017 Be careful with furball’s decals, they are really thin, and when you use the decal set solution careful with it, cause they turn really fragile, after using the decal solution dont even try to touch them or you will get into big trouble the only decals i used from the tamiya sheet were the NO STEP stencils jorge Quote Link to post Share on other sites
GEH737 Posted November 24, 2017 Share Posted November 24, 2017 Thanks for those tips Jorge. I know that scheme has been done a lot - but still (even though it's Navy) - I've always liked the look of it :) George Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Joel_W Posted November 24, 2017 Share Posted November 24, 2017 Jorge, I completely agree about not using any Set on AM decals till the decal is in it's proper position. Most are so thin that they end up looking like they were painted on, and thus are super fragile. What I've found is that some warm water with a few drops of liquid dishwashing soap lubricates the model's surface ,and the decal floats on top for easy placement. Then I carefully wick up the water while adjusting as necessary. Doesn't really take all that long, but the method works. Once the decal is in place a lightly patted down, I use the Microscale system followed by Solvaset if needed. Joel Quote Link to post Share on other sites
oppenheimerj Posted November 24, 2017 Author Share Posted November 24, 2017 (edited) Thanks Joel, I didn’t know about using some dish soap and the warm water, every day you learn something new, i will try it on the model that is on the bench right now Jorge Edited November 24, 2017 by oppenheimerj Quote Link to post Share on other sites
