LSP_Ron Posted February 18, 2012 Share Posted February 18, 2012 I must say exterior wise very, very nice, interior wise not so much, way to buff tan in my mk 1 eyeball but that is just my opinion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scvrobeson Posted February 18, 2012 Share Posted February 18, 2012 This thing is mind-blowing. Have you ever thought about doing a book of DVD to show your techniques? I wish I could learn to paint as well as you do Ralph. can't wait till it's done. :bow: Matt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ralph Riese Posted February 25, 2012 Author Share Posted February 25, 2012 Thanks for your comments Gents. Afew more pics before trying to put the model together. Apologies to those who might have already seen these on HSPP... Underside weathering and exhaust staining was done with a very dilute 50:50 mix of Tamiya XF-72 Brown (JGSDF) and XF-85 Rubber Black. Diluted Citadel Babab Black wash and 502 Abteilung Abt090 Industrial Earth oil paint were used for the grime on the yellow engine cowl. Black areas were drybrushed with Vallejo 70990 Light Grey. A hole was drilled to take a scratched pitot tube - shown in scale plans, but missing from the kit. Vallejo 70886 Green Grey was applied to the wing root areas with a sponge, and then "filtered" using Testors Dullcote tinted with small and equal amounts of XF-4 Yellow Green and XF-67 NATO green - tried for a worn look, rather than a heavily distressed look. The kit lifting cables were replaced with beading wire. Hartmann52 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
