Guest Peterpools Posted February 16, 2014 Share Posted February 16, 2014 OMG, did you fly through building the Merlin. Looks fantastic. Keep 'em coming Peter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maurice Posted February 16, 2014 Author Share Posted February 16, 2014 (edited) Thank you guys. It's just a matter of getting the parts together, fit is so good that most of time is taken by painting and weathering. Also last few days I've been having lots of free time.

Maurice Posted February 17, 2014 Author Share Posted February 17, 2014 Canopy inner frames colored with XF-71 cockpit green before primer coat. Then primer applied and shading along surfaces features such as panel lines, riveting and cowlings camlocks. The idea is to help the painting process to generate volume.

Jamme Posted February 17, 2014 Share Posted February 17, 2014 Great job, Maurice. Cheers, Jamme Maurice 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maurice Posted February 17, 2014 Author Share Posted February 17, 2014 (edited) Thank you guys for the nice words Well painting for me is the funniest part of modelling. Gradually spraying coats of Xtracrilix Medium Sea Grey on lower surfaces. Random streaks are applied so faded effect is achieved. Tamiya XF-89 Ocean Grey 2 is applied on upper surfaces in similar pattern. I might post shade with paler tones.

LSP_Paul Posted February 17, 2014 Share Posted February 17, 2014 Great Job on the pre-shading. The color coats are going to really be something! Keep up the great work. Paul Maurice 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maurice Posted February 18, 2014 Author Share Posted February 18, 2014 Thank you guys for checking in and nice words. First coats of RAF dark green, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maurice Posted February 18, 2014 Author Share Posted February 18, 2014 More dark green painting advancement, there was lack of concentration at some point; I put dark green on the port wing tip, and pattern isn't what should be. No worries I'll spray ocean grey again on that spot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maurice Posted February 18, 2014 Author Share Posted February 18, 2014 I think I'm getting satisfied with camo scheme. Now I'll seal the whole thing with Pledge and getting started with decals. As mentioned before the yellow band will be masked and sprayed after decals leaving the decal No 6 for the last. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
