Guest Peterpools Posted January 14, 2018 Share Posted January 14, 2018 Andre Awesome progress.. Your SBD looks spot on and just about ready for the primer. Thanks for the tip on spreading the fuselage a bit for the wing fit as that's where I am at and then I'll work on an update. Keep 'em comin Peter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Keep 'em comin Peter Thanks Peter Some bit of cleaning here and there and she'll be ready for her first coat of paint! Can't wait to see the mating of your wings to the fuse! Hope everything will go smoothly! I'm looking for a set of wheels, those in the kit are too narrow. Know any AM? Cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dora9 Posted January 15, 2018 Author Share Posted January 15, 2018 (edited) So started putting color on the SBD. I was so caught in the process that I forgot to take some pics! First some alclad alu, then hair spray, after some zinc chromate, hair spray and pre shading. Did the same for the belly plus final color. Next step, the blue gray on top! Stay tuned!

Bstarr3 Posted January 15, 2018 Share Posted January 15, 2018 Very nice work on the paint. Looks good to see it getting near completion. I assume you're going for a multilayer chipping effect with metal and primer? dora9 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I assume you're going for a multilayer chipping effect with metal and primer? Thanks! Yes I am going for the multilayer effect. It's the first time that I'll be using this technique on a model, wish me luck! dennismcc 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dora9 Posted January 15, 2018 Author Share Posted January 15, 2018 So started the blue gray on top. Little bit of lightened blue gray in the centre of the panels. And then an overall mist of blue gray to blend everything. So that's it for now. Next will be the chipping! Stay tuned!

Out2gtcha Posted January 16, 2018 Share Posted January 16, 2018 Looks lovely! I really like it a lot. I think the blend coat really brought it together. Looking forward to more! dora9 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dora9 Posted January 16, 2018 Author Share Posted January 16, 2018 Thanks Brian, now the interesting part, the chipping! We'll see if that hair spray works! Out2gtcha 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dora9 Posted January 16, 2018 Author Share Posted January 16, 2018 So after a good scrubbing, this is what came out of it! I think that the large patch on the right wing is a bit too much, but it will stay like that. Don't want to mess it up! Think I will leave it as is. With the weathering and wash, that should do the trick! Stay tuned! Shawn M, Out2gtcha, Uncarina and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted January 16, 2018 Share Posted January 16, 2018 I like it ! Great work......Harv Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dora9 Posted January 16, 2018 Author Share Posted January 16, 2018 Thanks Harv! For a first try the result is not so bad! I like what I see and will try it again on another project! Except that next time I won't use a strong hold type of hair spray because it's a bit too stiff and you really have to scrub hard. I'll go for a medium hold next time!
