ChrisRRR Posted November 22, 2014 Share Posted November 22, 2014 Here's my latest addition to the airliner fleet in my display cabinet :) Of course, again some points where I screwed up, this time mainly with the decals. The walkway markings on the wing are wrong, this happens when you hurry things because the clock is ticking… On the other hand, the DrawDecal decals were a beast to handle. Very very stiff and completely ignorant to decal softeners. Micro sol/set was a bit better than the rest (Gunze,Revell), but still a mixture of flooding the decals and using Future and very hot water was necessary to get them somewhat adhere to the fuselage… Probably Solvaset would be a good choice here but this miracle potion is not available where I live (Thank you, European Union!) Anyway, would love to hear where I can improve further. There are enough airliners in the stash to learn a little bit with each one of them ;) Quote Link to post Share on other sites
dnl42 Posted November 22, 2014 Share Posted November 22, 2014 (edited) That's a gorgeous finish! Doesn't look like you need worry about anything there... What did you use for finish? Edited November 22, 2014 by David N Lombard Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ChrisRRR Posted November 22, 2014 Author Share Posted November 22, 2014 Thanks! :) The wings and stabs are Xtracolor Boeing Grey, the lower fuselage Tamiya fine Primer Spraycan, the white Tamyia pure white spraycan. Topped with Brush-applied future and a sludge wash with payne's grey oil color. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

ChrisRRR Posted December 13, 2014 Author Share Posted December 13, 2014 Thanks everybody for the kind words :) it's a constant learning pocess, and the next airliner will benefit from this build. I'll make sure to lighten the Payne's grey a bit before the wash, so that the panel lines are not thaaat popping. Oh, and also thanks everyone for focusing your comments on the actual model, and not on the photo background. I know it's kinda bad, and next time it will be better.
