Primer paint for TBF Avenger


Recommended Posts

I used a chipping technique where I painted the wing surfaces and forward upper fuselage silver, I believe, then sealed with a lacquer coat.  I then decanted and sprayed hairspray over that and covered with XF-4.  I chipped that heavily, then sealed it again with clear lacquer coat.  I then sprayed more hairspray, then the top coat and did some variable chipping of that.  This was on a Dauntless.  I thought it came out pretty well.  This was my first attempt and the only thing I would do different is make sure I look at my references for a more realistic look.  This was my first model coming back to the hobby and I just kind of winged it.  I thought the XF-4 was spot on, at least to my eye.
