Turecki Posted August 10, 2007 Share Posted August 10, 2007 From few days Marcin can't add any answer here...so big request to Steve ...could You help and check it for Marcin Thank You very much in advance In the meantime I Paste Marcin's answer in mine I used two different kind of paints: acrylic Tamiya X-19 smoke (with ethyl alcohol as a thinner) and cellulose Humbrol Clear Colour No1322 (thinned by Gunze Mr Color Thinner). After few tests of airbrushing two coats (colors one by one) I decided to mix paints after mixing with used thinners. It wasn't easy because these transparent paints aren't the same kind but it works. The canopy is airbrushed only one coat and wasn't polished. Best Regards Turecki Quote Link to post Share on other sites
dakleton Posted August 10, 2007 Share Posted August 10, 2007 (edited) Since Marcin still appears to be having email problems let me take the liberty of posting his most recent pics for you all. Marcin writes: Some pics of my latest work on of P&W nozzle. I used dry pastels for the firs time and I'm quite happy of the effect. I hope to paste the whole turbine-afterburner-nozzle set to the fuselage in few next days. Edited August 10, 2007 by dakleton Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Marcin Witkowski, Poland Posted August 13, 2007 Author Share Posted August 13, 2007 It seem to my posting problems are gone so many thanks Mark and Turecki. This time I’m showing You Gyus last part of the nozzle-afterburner-turbine set while mounting. Right now I’m waiting for decal which imitate carbon material to apply it on turkey feathers. Today I achieve pretty good result on photoeaching process. This is Viper speed breakes copper plate after eaching and before eliminating the UV paint. This is my firs photoeaching try. I think it’s quite good. I hope to set all these parts together in few next days. PS Sorry for not to good quality of plate shots. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
