Thommo Posted September 26, 2018 Share Posted September 26, 2018 Very good. I could never figure out how to do that freehand belly colour without getting too much overspray. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Thanx 😄 the trick is to take it slow and then use the base colours to fix any overspray. thin colour mixtures and low pressure. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Aigore Posted September 27, 2018 Author Share Posted September 27, 2018 Ok, yet another update :D First I made a new optic sight from a piece of acetate. On with the windscreen. Made handles for the canopy from lead wire. And glued it in place. Scratched a whip antennae with a base, painted it black and glued it on aproximately the right spot :P with the antennaes in place I painted all the navigation and positionlights. Time to start on the underwing stores. Parts cleaned and impaled. Primed... Pink noses on the bombs... And chromate yellow... Put down some preshades in german grey. Painted the tank and pylons in FS36322. Masked the yellow. I finished todays session with painting olive drab on the bombs and unmask. That´s all for today :D Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Aigore Posted September 30, 2018 Author Share Posted September 30, 2018 Weathering the stores... Clear canvas, all stores are detail painted and gloss coated. Making runny oilspill on the drop tank. First some drops of wash in nice places. Then I shot air at high preassure at an angle to make the drops spread. I repeated this process until I was happy with spreading spill. And finished off with pigments. the bombs and pods got a pigment treatment and then a flat coat. Glued the pylons in place... And on with the ordonance Almost done now.... Missing brass gun barrels and pitot tube and static dischargers only, hopeflly Hannant´s will deliver fast on the brass and I´m pondering on the droopy dischargers. Here is the only thing gnarling at me...the damaged prop decal on the lower left and if the weathering is plausble...any thoughts on this? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

caudleryan Posted September 30, 2018 Share Posted September 30, 2018 Giving how beat up these planes looked, I'd say the weathering looks perfect! As for the prop decals, I would leave it as is. It ties in to the weathering quite well. I can't wait to see what your next masterpiece is! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
