Eyes in the air, eyes on the ground - RQ-7B and M-ATV finished

No images today. Pulled my airbrush out of the stash. Guess I used it the last time two years ago. Maybe three. Airbrushing is my most hated part of the modelling. If you like splatter movies - I do not.

But it looks now like an OK paintjob. Somewhat rough here, some paint crumbs there... 12.000 grid sanding mesh and gloss coat might take care of this. Next step: decals.

 

Meanwhile brush-painting the engine. Added some wires where appropriate.

Decals placed:

Set aside to dry overnight. Mismatched the Micro decal solutions and applied the decals with the red bottle. Well, the biggest decal grew larger and larger the more I tried to brush it down into place... :doh:

 

 

Tomorrow I'll add another cote of gloss and the final flat cote. Then add the engine and wheels and I am ready.

OK, at least I know now, that the painting mess was not just me. Other modellers here also had some trouble using Lifecolor paints.

 

All parts are painted. Model is clearcoted. Guess I will add the flat cote by brush and assemble the whole thing just in time this evening.

Feels great! My second LSP finished ever :punk:

 

 

 

Hey, it's also my first succesful GB!

Will check for glossy spots the next days and add some more images when I got the lighttent ready. That means to clean a space large enough to place it :whistle:

 

Should I add some green flocks or go with plain Astan desert as is?

 

 

Enjoy!

- dutik, the happy one

Congratulations for your completed build!! Proud of you! Not sure what the green flocks would look like, but looks great now I think.
