salvine Posted April 2, 2019 Share Posted April 2, 2019 Very nice. I used the needle trick on mine a couple years ago. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
CWILL1117 Posted April 3, 2019 Share Posted April 3, 2019 Awesome! I really like the paint chipping on the join between the wings and fuselage. Also the landing gear and wheel weathering looks real. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

It’s such a simple and effective uograde, isn’t it? 6 hours ago, CWILL1117 said: Awesome! I really like the paint chipping on the join between the wings and fuselage. Also the landing gear and wheel weathering looks real. Thank you. I used a toothpick and scratched it down to the underlying Alclad Aluminum paint on the wingroots. I used MIG Pigments to simulate dirt on the tire and then accentuated each bolt on the rim and landing gear legs with metallic enamels. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I've been working on using 1 mm liquid chrome pens to simulate paint chips. I always wondered how MIG products held up. Have you ever used MIG paints? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I use Mission Models and Tamiya Acrylics and Gunze Lacquers primarily. I just use MIG’s washes and weathering products - they are great! 6 hours ago, AlienFrogModeller said: Well done sir, Love it.
