blackbetty Posted June 4, 2013 Author Share Posted June 4, 2013 (edited) some rescribing and more primer. with the metallizers you get an easy NM finish, but the base has to be perfect. even the border between primer and no primer, highly polished, is visible through the metallizer. its very thin, actually see-through. looking at ricks build i briefly thought about another paintjob (like a camo). but i really want a korean aera bird, so i will try my best Edited June 18, 2013 by blackbetty Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

blackbetty Posted June 14, 2013 Author Share Posted June 14, 2013 for the final metalizing job i choose a different way than with the F-84: i first brushed on a darker metalizer and used a lighter one over it instead of masing panels and painting them different colours Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blackbetty Posted June 14, 2013 Author Share Posted June 14, 2013 (edited) this gives less , but still noticeable differnces that look more like the lockheed planes finish, who are a lot less different than on the republic plane on pics. it also gives a worn apperance like a combat plane [/ URL] stay tuned!

Hubert Boillot Posted June 20, 2013 Share Posted June 20, 2013 Looking VERY good, Karl ! So in the end this one was a health stroll, no ? Hubert Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blackbetty Posted June 26, 2013 Author Share Posted June 26, 2013 Harv, Harold, Guy, Brian, Maru and Hubert, many thanx for your nice comments! I´m not sure it really was a health stroll, it may not be the ideal candidate for a nice OOB build, really had a hard time with the landing gear and other fiddly bits in the end. this thing would benefit from G-factor struts. i may have scratched a gear if i wasnt dead set on finishing in time, so i just added brake lines and called it a day. maybe someday... and if i do i will shorten the MLG to make it sit lower in the rear. overall the kit is a bear, but at least i finished it: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
