F18 HORNET 1/32


Recommended Posts

After the engine bay, i had to paint the engine.

I played a lot with alclad, and diferences of shine/flat weathering

but it hard to see on theses picts

i painted the internal part of the exhaust

On the petals, i added enforcements and i shaped the «V» part

covering zones are painted with black metal cote thined and covered with a layer of «jet exhaust alclad» then i spray some area with dark aluminium.

I come back on details with a soft moving mask and jet exhaust.

At the end i use dry pastels to have a powder texture on those covering areas.

It ‘s a bit harassing method but the result is beter than what the pictures shows.

Engine is now painted. Picts doesn’t realy show tiny painting nuances because

metal is always dificult to shoot.

On the back of the engine where the light burns the picture, it is weldings

made with a very sharp spray of polished silver that i are getting flat

quickly on the edges.

hello, thank you for your comments.

As i said, the engine can be totally removed but i have to scatch a trolley if i whant to show it this way.

The other option will be to show it with the engine inside and loadout.
