Guest Maxim Posted March 14, 2018 Share Posted March 14, 2018 I like your mix ratios using the Tamiya paints. Looks spot on. Great progress and i must admit the A-1 looks much better in SEA camo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Daniel Leduc Posted March 21, 2018 Author Share Posted March 21, 2018 Hi everyone, here's another fun part, my clear coat dried enough so it was time for the decals. and as you can see, it didn't took long, 12 decals in total...wow After the fun part, the ugly part......... Gonna let it dry for a day and will wipe it out tomorrow. Hope you still have fun. Dan. BradG, Alain Gadbois, LSP_Kevin and 3 others 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kagemusha Posted March 21, 2018 Share Posted March 21, 2018 Nice progress, going to do the same plane with the ZM kit, the bombs it can be seen carrying are M47A4 which are available from Daco http://www.dacoproducts.com/ Daniel Leduc 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TimHepplestone Posted March 21, 2018 Share Posted March 21, 2018 Looking good. Excellent job with the tamiyas on the SEA scheme. Which gloss coat did you use? I find the tamiya XF colours tend to leave a grainy texture that I often have to rub down. Daniel Leduc 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BradG Posted March 22, 2018 Share Posted March 22, 2018 Looks like the wash needs a drop of dishwashing liquid to break that surface tension. MikeMaben 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I find the tamiya XF colours tend to leave a grainy texture that I often have to rub down. Thanks Tim, Tamiya TS13 for my clear coat, straight from the can, 3 coats. Also had the same problem with XF paint, and found out that my pressure was too high and not enough diluted, the paint was almost dried on contact..... Now, no more than 10PSI with a mix of 60/40 paint / thinner. Dan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeap, you're right, I still run on Flory's 1st batch of wash, did bought a lot when it first came out...... and mine need more than a few drop..... I think I'll get new one. Dan.

Daniel Leduc Posted April 3, 2018 Author Share Posted April 3, 2018 (edited) Here's my little update...... and a reminder................... NEVER USE SHARPIE BEFORE PAINTING..... Too often I don't follow exactly instruction manual and cut corner... I usually keep the pylon at the end to paint them and do the wash and so on.... and put them on my wing only once my weathering and finish coat is done, but not this time and don't know why....&*%?$(_ Did glue them on long before the paint and with all the handling, did broke some. So to remember their position, I wrote their numbers.... with A SHARPIE.... took them off, finish the clear, the weathering (on the model) and put them back to find this 3 days later. It came out true the paint like a spot on the nose...... it took 3 coat to finally hide it. So here's another teaser, the wash is done not too heavy, will probably ad some post shading to it, exhaust stain, wire and white and red on my prop. Doing the load and painting the pilot.... Hope you like it, happy modelling and have fun. Dan. Edited April 3, 2018 by Daniel Leduc dora9, BradG, Dragon and 3 others 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
