somnas Posted April 26, 2015 Share Posted April 26, 2015 Wow, that vertical stab and rudder is looking extremely nice! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Peterpools Posted April 26, 2015 Share Posted April 26, 2015 Jorge Geez, what perfect weathering on the prop and the wheel wells ... looks just tremendous. Have to agree the blue looks nice and faded and on the money. Keep 'em coming Peter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oppenheimer Posted April 30, 2015 Author Share Posted April 30, 2015 worked today on the dark blue and some chipping on the inner wing, so far happy with the blue tone, but i am not sure if the chipping is ok, something is bothering me, found out that the blue is a pain to fade it and weather it, it look like it will stay this way Please i will appreciate any critic good and strong (bad) on this test Anthony in NZ, Bill Cross and scvrobeson 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LSP_Kevin Posted April 30, 2015 Share Posted April 30, 2015 I think it looks fantastic Jorge, and can only hope mine comes along as nicely. Kev Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted April 30, 2015 Share Posted April 30, 2015 I agree with Kev.Not over the top and not to little.I like it! Color looks good also.....Harv Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scvrobeson Posted April 30, 2015 Share Posted April 30, 2015 I think it looks good, and you included chipping to the yellow primer instead of just straight to metal. That gets missed on a lot of builds. Great work on the paint Matt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Hansen Posted April 30, 2015 Share Posted April 30, 2015 (edited) Already posted my comments on Facebook. The intermediate blue looks a little dark to me, and the Sea Blue a little too light but that could have more to do with the lighting than anything else. Have you chosen a specific aircraft to model? david Edited April 30, 2015 by David Hansen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dodgem37 Posted April 30, 2015 Share Posted April 30, 2015 Gets better with each post. Super stuff! Sincerely, Mark Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oppenheimer Posted April 30, 2015 Author Share Posted April 30, 2015 (edited) David, i am using the colors Tamiya tells me on the instructions, even if i lightened the intermediate blue still dark to me, i am after Boyington's bird And thanks for the encouraging words from all you guys Edited April 30, 2015 by oppenheimer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chuck540z3 Posted April 30, 2015 Share Posted April 30, 2015 Jorge, Fantastic work as always! Really, really top notch modeling. If I might make a suggestion (since you asked ), I would over-spray your chipping on the wing a bit. The chipping is great, but it's a tiny bit too intense for scale. Toned down a bit, it will likely look more natural. Cheers, Chuck Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JamesHatch Posted April 30, 2015 Share Posted April 30, 2015 Probably my favourite build at the moment. Following this closely, especially as I have that GMF resin detail set too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oppenheimer Posted May 5, 2015 Author Share Posted May 5, 2015 i am here again with some pictures, i assembled the outer wing panel and dry fitted in the wings to see fitting, as usual in tamiya, the fit is perfect so i can paint them apart then glue them together (inner and outer wings), also painted the under side of the center wing as well did the right upper surface of it, need to add the exhaust stains on the belly not sure how i will do it here are the pics, i hope i am not boring you guys with lots of pictures of the same pieces over and over again general look of the bird Mal_Belford, Vandy 1 VX 4, geedubelyer and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chuck540z3 Posted May 5, 2015 Share Posted May 5, 2015 how can i tone it down chuck?, ideas always welcome Jorge, Just spray more of the blue over the chips. You might try thinning the paint quite a bit first, then spray fine misting coats until you get the look you want. I just looked at that belly and gear wells above. GORGEOUS! It really looks the part. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
