I have some slight bettering to do later.

Next I masked for the upper colours.....well the base colour at least

NOw I'll let it cure for a bit before I start on the digital scheme.

Oh You may have noticed that I haven't done any preshading...well to tell the truth, the Ukraine Flanker are so freshly painted and well kept that I can't bring myself to do a weathered and scruffy one.

 

Cheers!

Now it´s time to mask for the dark blue.

Oh boy...that wasn't fun...I must say that I prefer kabuki masks...vnyl masks don't really want to lie down or conform so we shall see how this turns out.

Paint!

And unmasking....

I have some overspray but that's no worries and there are spots where the mask lifted...oh well ...but on the whole, not too shabby!

The Sunday Update.


Yup, still at it....

 

 

Now it's time for the gray...

So I started with those despicable vinyl masks and masked for the gray.

After an hour of masking 2 minutes of painting...

 

IMG_6729.JPG

 

 

 

 

Et Voilat... well that works....some overspray but I can polish that off.

IMG_6731.JPG

 

IMG_6732.JPG

 

 

 

 

Then I did the horizontal stabs too...

 

IMG_6733.JPG

 

 

 

 

Now for a breather...I'll do the vertical stabs the next time.

 

Cheers!

Friday? Again?


Heavy metal!


Alright, finally done with the cammo!

While masking for the dielectric panels I noticed I had made a great dodo!

I had switched the tailfins! I painted the right one as the left one and vice verse!

I'm just going to live with it....no way I'll redo the fins!!!

 

IMG_6787.JPG

 


IMG_6788.JPG

 

 

 

 


It looks good enough! 

 

IMG_6789.JPG

 

IMG_6790.JPG

 

IMG_6791.JPG

 

 

 

 


Who'll notice?

 

IMG_6792.JPG

 

 

 

 

 

The nose got dark gray too.

 

IMG_6793.JPG

 

 

 

 

 

Heh, the Flanker would look good with tilted fins .
