Hector Posted February 9, 2006 Author Share Posted February 9, 2006 hmmm, it does look like the dark earth is too dark, but the dark green looks pretty good. what paints did you use? Jay I have used a mixture from tamiyas I use Xf-52 70% Xf62 20% Xf-58 5% more or less Jay. What do you think of? Regards. Héctor Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Grim Reaper Posted February 9, 2006 Share Posted February 9, 2006 Hi friend!, I agree with Jay, paint the dark earth with Gunze's color please!, the dark green is very pretty!. Best Jose Quote Link to post Share on other sites
IJ(UK) Posted February 9, 2006 Share Posted February 9, 2006 Evenin' Hector Definitely need some more contrast with the Dk Earth. I would suggest remasking - I know it's a real pain - then mix-up a new batch of the Dk Earth and lighten it quite a bit, then LIGHTLY overspray the existing colour. Wait for it to dry then lighten the colour again. You should only need to do this twice. I haven't used Tamiya acryllics for a long time but I seem to remember that their Dk Earth was very accurate straight from the jar (unlike what they called RAF Green which had too much 'blue' in it).

HTH Ian Yes In You are right I need to contrast the colours looks too dark and dont look good,Glup remasking again yes a pain but I think its the best way to get the plane into the right zone ;-) I copy this mixture from a magazine but I dont mix well.You know I dont like enamel paints to use with airbrush. best regards.

Jay I dont use enamel paint I dont like it smells a lot and very difficult to clean airbrush.I did the mixture very bad , but always learning things.

Dr Fester Posted February 9, 2006 Share Posted February 9, 2006 Hi Hector, The paint mixing is the only real headache with Tamiya acylics, saying that I use only these paints as I find them so easy to spray/clean and coverage is good. To my eye the colours look pretty close but possibly the perfectionist you are you will try and lighten the brown but not too much. You probably already know this link for colour mixes but on the whole they are spot on : TRY THIS. They list the Brown as XF52 - FLAT EARTH: 1 XF64 - RED BROWN: 1 and Green as: XF58 - OLIVE GREEN: 1 XF62 - OLIVE DRAB: 5 Hope to sort it out without too many problems.

Cheers Doc Hi Pete, Well now having a look with natural light I can see better than yesterday, I like to make tamiyas painting mixture, but several days you do it right and others not. Something tells me to light a bit, and I think that what I´m going to do.and then with clear all those things dissapear. Nice forum you linked. Many thanks Pete. Cheers.
