    Tamiya F-16 Aggressor, Kicked Up a Notch, April 11/24: Lighting Details

    in Works in Progress

    Posted

    Welcome back, Chuck! Glad tp hear the home renno is all done- I feel your pain! I've got a stalled project in my studio/shop- getting the glass doors to my four display cabinets. You have the doors exactly as I've envisioned them.  The Glass shop we've worked with before really dropped the ball -for months- finally admitting that they didn't usually do that/didn't want to do it. That's island life, I guess.  I want similar lighting, but with a solid strip to shield the eyes from the LED strips. I also want a white panel at the rear, which was unavailable from the cabinet shop.  If it's not too pricey I'd like to get locks for the doors to satisfy my paranoia.  ;)

    For the oil can I suggest buy Windsor and Newton Sansodor - it's odourless white spirit .

     

    If you are making your own oil washes by thinning down the paint,  a bit of W&N Liquin , which makes the wash a lot smoother . 

     

     

    I second the Liquin Original. Note how a bit breaks up the clumps of pigment, resulting a smooth, buttery wash.

    All-

     

    @Eli Raphael and I are pleased to tease the next release from Zotz Decals, a sheet that we’ve been really excited to put together for some time. This sheet, which will be released in 1/32 and 1/48, will cover the aircraft from Pacific Theater Ace Gerald R. “Jerry” Johnson, featuring his P-39D, P-38F, P-38H, two different P-47D’s, P-40N, and three different P-38L’s. In all, you’ll be able to depict 10 different aircraft using the sheet, covering the combat career of 22-kill ace Gerald R. Johnson from Adak, Alaska in 1942 through the end of the war. Never before have Gerald Johnson’s aircraft been depicted in kit or decal form, so it’s our pleasure to bring these to you! With help from several experts in the field, we feel we’re delivering an accurate, well-researched sheet that will be warmly welcomed by the model building community. A special shout out to Nathan Howland at HowdiColour Image Recovery and Colour for his collaboration on this sheet, as seen below.

     

    More to come as the decals and profiles are completed and we move closer to the release!
