ssculptor Posted January 30, 2012 Share Posted January 30, 2012 I couldn't stand it anymore, so I went ahead and painted the dark gray camo. Not the best job in the world admittedly, but I can certainly live with it. I dunno. I like the paint job. Lets not forget the conditions under which the real planes were painted, often in the field, back 69 years ago. Stephen LSP_K2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I suck down way too much coffeine, and that doesn't help at all when airbrushing freehand. Fortunately, since these fighters are destined for the den, and not the contest tables, I can get away with some sloppiness. Ultimately, I still have to be happy with the results, and I believe the Yak looks OK, so I'm a happy pup. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shawn M Posted January 31, 2012 Share Posted January 31, 2012 wow Kevin, you're cookin! If you ever have some spare time and the patience, I'd love an Airbrush 101 from you. LSP_K2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sure, we could do that. I've been wanting to build a painting jig for quite some time now. That way, I could paint with both hands, one steadying the other. I get my best results that way, when I'm able to use that method. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LSP_K2 Posted January 31, 2012 Author Share Posted January 31, 2012 (edited) Now that the weekend has more than come and gone, I think I'm going to get back on the Yak; I'd really like to add the decals to that baby. Speaking of decals, I grabbed this sheet for a couple more Fw 190's I intend to add to the fray.

LSP_K2 Posted January 31, 2012 Author Share Posted January 31, 2012 Yak is now as painted as it's going to be. I'll gloss coat this afternoon, then tomorrow,... decal time! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LSP_K2 Posted February 1, 2012 Author Share Posted February 1, 2012 Yak is now all dressed up with gloss coat and awaiting decals. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LSP_K2 Posted February 1, 2012 Author Share Posted February 1, 2012 Well this is a disappointment; the Eduard supplied Russian stars are way too light. I may strip them off and redo, using a sheet of Aeromaster Lavochkin decals I have. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
