Diego Quijano Posted October 30, 2010 Share Posted October 30, 2010 Hello friends: To recreate the landing moment, the flaps and slats were cut off to put them in landing position, the air brakes and arresting hook was extended and I also had to enlarge the front landing gear to the completely extended position. The painting has nothing especial except the fluid leaks of the underside. The large amount of lettering is what adds interest to the final look. A few more pics here: Scaleworks Cheers.

robw_uk Posted November 12, 2010 Share Posted November 12, 2010 gorgeous painting... do you have WIP on this, or can you pass on some tips for the weathering - I have an E/A-6B that I think would benefit from similar work Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Diego Quijano Posted November 12, 2010 Author Share Posted November 12, 2010 Hi Rob, Unfortunately I dont have wip pictures of this model so I´ll try to explain the weathering: I think the best way of doing that kind of effect is with oil paint diluted wiyh whie spirit or other enamel solvent (Humbrol, Mig, etc), avoid the turpentine. You paint the leak with a fine brush and when the solvent has just dried you can rub with a clean and dry brush to blur the borders. It is a bit tricky at the begining until you get the right density of oil paint, but it is not difficult. Is always adviseble to try the technic before apply it to the model.

Janissary Posted November 12, 2010 Share Posted November 12, 2010 Wow. It is hard to believe this is 1/72. Fantastic work. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
sharkey Posted November 13, 2010 Share Posted November 13, 2010 The bottom side looks amazing, not to take anything away from the top side though. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
