kurth Posted October 15, 2015 Author Share Posted October 15, 2015 I know you think I abandoned this build and the thread. I have not. I am pushing to finish another build, which has taken priority. Any way, I was already for primer, and found a spot which needed to attention .. soout came the putty and through the magic of sanding it looks much better I was just about to start getting ready to primer this model, and while trying to find a suitable side pipe to stuff in the tail pipe, i managed to pop the seam on the rear fuselage oh well, I cemented it back together, but now it needs to dry. I will pick it up again soon F`s are my favs and Seversky 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kurth Posted August 13, 2016 Author Share Posted August 13, 2016 Oh no I have neglected this thread, and the build since October! time flies. Any way I have decided to get this one done. At some point since my last update I primered this model. I was about to start shooting color today, but I saw a few boogers revealed by the primer. So I sanded them out and the other side I am all out of my current favorite primer, Mr. Surfacer 1500. I even tried to glean the dregs out of the jar, but it was only a few drops.

kurth Posted May 30, 2017 Author Share Posted May 30, 2017 Oh no... almost a year since my last update. This model got put on the back burner with several group build projects I did on ARC. In the mean time, I decided to try the black basing technique, and primered this model again with Mr Finishing surfacer black I have applied a marble coat of the gray Sorry, it is hard to photograph, the contrast between the gray and black was hard to capture in a picture, but is a little more apparent in person. Next task is a very thin top coat of gray over the marbling. Thanks for looking. Sorry to have been away for so long.

kurth Posted June 5, 2017 Author Share Posted June 5, 2017 I have applied the gray blend coat, and started with the light green marble coat and the top / side Learning alot at this stage. I have a fairly new airbrush, Grex Genesis XGi with a .2 needle. So it takes a bit of getting used to be able to airbrush really fine lines. I am also amazed how much you can thin mr color paint.

kurth Posted June 20, 2017 Author Share Posted June 20, 2017 I finished the 34079 blend coat Next task is to mask the bare metal area around the burner cans, as well as the nose. johncrow, F`s are my favs and Victor K2 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kurth Posted June 28, 2017 Author Share Posted June 28, 2017 I got the masking done I realized I should prep the burner cans for paint ... since this model sat for almost a year, I forgot what else I had done with the model. It ends up the cans were un touched, and still on the sprue. I started to clean up the parts and noticed this pretty gnarly seam on the inside of the burner can I will need to figure out how to clean this up. Any assistance is appreciated! ttyl F`s are my favs 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
F`s are my favs Posted June 28, 2017 Share Posted June 28, 2017 Hi, awesome progress! Perhaps some gentle scratching from the outer edge, radially, flap by flap... It should worth it... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NavyF4s Posted June 28, 2017 Share Posted June 28, 2017 (edited) OK so first i cut a Tamiya exhaust can down to the inside pedals. Then glued it to the inside of the Revell exhaust Then I applied the Eduard photo etch details as such Finally paint! Hope this helps.
