Jan_G Posted April 4, 2017 Author Share Posted April 4, 2017 She looks really sweet with these colors. And some people wonder what's not to love in yellow wings ? Hubert PS: Tamiya TS-12 works well in an airbrush afetr decanting Now that is just gorgeous! Kev Kevin, Hubert, thanks for your comments Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jan_G Posted April 4, 2017 Author Share Posted April 4, 2017 so decals done, quite straightforward however, "US NAVY" sign looks little bit undersized compared to picture. I wanted to depict the overlap of both signs so will live with it, but if you want to be really presize you should watch for it I put a wing decals directly on the yellow color, so white stars are not white anymore, so will mask it and correct white well, the biggest challenge with this kit is canopy IMHO. Quite prominent, luckily you have two attempts. Attached stickerf for canopy frames is not way to go for me. So im trying to mask it and paint it. First try here. Tonight I will do the second one and then I will take the best of it thanks for looking jan Brandon Wood, Shaka HI and Hubert Boillot 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jan_G Posted April 11, 2017 Author Share Posted April 11, 2017 well, small progress with SBU I have managed to cut canopy in separate parts and paint it. However I`m not satisfied with results, still need to practise more with vacu stuff I have applied subtle panel lines wash (dark red, dark green and dark grey based on the surface color) And finaly coats of GSI semigloss clear for metalic surface and mixture of semigloss and flat clear (1/1) for fabric surface not visible on the photos below, I will try to do better shots in daylight Now I still have to polish the entire surface with a rotary cotton pad and finish fading and apply subtle filters thanks for looking jan Shawn M, Hubert Boillot, Anthony in NZ and 3 others 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Joel_W Posted April 22, 2017 Share Posted April 22, 2017 Jan, I just read through your entire build, and you sir are a craftsman in every sense of the word. The homemade aluminum tube frame coupled with the repaint just added to the overall effect. The added detailing of an already nicely detailed cockpit really kicked it up a few notches. Your painting, decaling, and finishing is as perfect as one could possibly expect on a Golden Era aircraft. Joel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
