Shaka HI Posted February 6, 2017 Share Posted February 6, 2017 Damn, that look nice. It should really stick out in your display case -- assuming you can fit that thing into your display case! You deserve a break! dmthamade 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ClumsyDude Posted February 6, 2017 Share Posted February 6, 2017 Don, that looks brilliant. The masking job is really impressive, and contributes to a really professional overall impression. Jim Shaka HI and dmthamade 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

R Palimaka Posted February 6, 2017 Share Posted February 6, 2017 What a spectacular build! That will certainly stand out in a display case or at a show. I still can't get over the job of masking that you've done, and how you've blended everything together to make it look authentic. You should be proud of that one!

dmthamade Posted February 8, 2017 Author Share Posted February 8, 2017 Thanks for the positive feedback, guys. The masking was a challenge, used pretty much all methods i know of. Used enough tape to make a ball almost a foot large. It is a colorful build, a grey jet that really stands out. Now i need to figure out what to do next.

Jarda_Hajecek Posted March 21, 2017 Share Posted March 21, 2017 Amazingly well done. Congrats on completion of this paint scheme. I did Japanese aggressor in1/48 and had similar ball of masking tape as you. dmthamade 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shawn M Posted March 21, 2017 Share Posted March 21, 2017 thats one slick gloss coat! dmthamade 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jarda_Hajecek Posted March 22, 2017 Share Posted March 22, 2017 thats one slick gloss coat! Three coats of Future sir. I normally don't like to use substitutes and "prettycloseliketheoriginal" stuff, but with Future its a safe bet on the gloss coating and dipping canopies. Vallejo Air Gloss Varnish does similar job though. dmthamade 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dmthamade Posted March 26, 2017 Author Share Posted March 26, 2017 That is a super gloss coat!! No chance of silvering on that one. I've been looking at the Vallejo clear coat, been using Tamiya X-22 for a while, pretty satisfied. Will we see the final build on the Saudi Eagle, Jarda?
