BastianD Posted May 15, 2021 Author Share Posted May 15, 2021 After some reference checking, I discovered that the black line from the bottom to the camouflage is soft, not sharp as I’ve airbrushed. So: here we go again with lifted masks, trying to correct it to a soft line Quote Link to post Share on other sites

BastianD Posted May 15, 2021 Author Share Posted May 15, 2021 That looks better, just correcting the green a little where the black is too high. But it has become a soft live as I wanted. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Mr Matt Foley Posted May 15, 2021 Share Posted May 15, 2021 Good catch and great job feathering that in there. Don't forget the radome is going to be semi-gloss to gloss. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
BastianD Posted May 22, 2021 Author Share Posted May 22, 2021 Not really satisfied yet with the position of the soft black lines (too high), I had to some correction work. Pretty satisfied how it looks now: Quote Link to post Share on other sites

If your referring to the grills, I would say stainless steel. I need to know as well for my build when the time comes. Steve Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Pappy121 Posted December 24, 2021 Share Posted December 24, 2021 G'day Bastian, Lovely work, she is really coming together now. One observation though, I thought that the underwing pylons were painted in the dark green (FS 34079) but yours are in black. Same goes for the launcher. Did the USAF paint them in both colours? In the Lock-On book mpost of the pics show them as vreen but in a few pics they look like they could be black but the pics are taken in deep shadow. Looking forward to the finished article, Pappy Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Looking forward to the finished article, Pappy Hi there, thanks! It’s nice when this old Vark gets to life. well noted, I’ll do some research on photos then. On the hasegawa painting guide they were black I believe, but will check and find the right colour. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
