Trumpeter MIG-15 Red Falcons....but a Blue Red Falcon- Done 3/1/18

Thanks guys, a bit too contrasty on the fuselage and the clear coat will only exacerbate the effect.

Going to go back tonight with the steel blue and make it more opaque on the fuse,

 

I think if I'd have preshaded with the 'blue' it would have been fine but the steel blue was too dark.

 

Once the blues are done I can retouch the NMF and start adding the blast panels.

thank you Alain, I dig the effect on the wings although I went too opaque there and not opaque enough on the fuselage lol

In person the paint has a jewel like depth to it and is very reactive to lighting and angles.

went back with signal  blue on  the fuse and base of vertical tail, much better.

 

The flash accentuates the contrast, its much more muted in person

Thanks guys, definitely not my best work but acceptable for model room decoration.

 

Band practice tonight, then tomorrow I will get back to the MIG.

 

Hoping by the weekend to have the first future coat down and start decaling.

Luckily not many decals involved; 6 stars, 6 numerals lol

managed some quick time before practice and got the gun blast panels and flare panel painted in.

Probably a little too contrasty with the Vallejo Gunmetal, but I like it so :P

 

Need to add the antenna mast tonight then the first future coat prior to decals.
