Guest Posted January 7, 2015 Share Posted January 7, 2015 Great update ! When i get around to do mine( the Wolf Pack one) I hope I make it close to your work !..........Harv Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oppenheimer Posted January 7, 2015 Author Share Posted January 7, 2015 Thanks Harv, one advice, this is a sculpture not a plastic model, you will need lots of putty, sculpting skills and lots of sand paper in order to fix all the fitting issues, but at the end it look really good Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

oppenheimer Posted January 7, 2015 Author Share Posted January 7, 2015 working on the fitting of the windshield and fuselage, and now the yellow bands, starting the process with white first then orange so the yellow will be real yellow masking tape is gone, next will be 8000 grit sanding to remove the bump on the orange paint before painting the yellow, i will use the gloss black coat for the alclad as the black stripes surrounding the yellow sandokan and Mal_Belford 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Peterpools Posted January 7, 2015 Share Posted January 7, 2015 Jorge Awesome progress and it's a treat to see the Huff in the paint bay. Keep 'em coning Peter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oppenheimer Posted January 8, 2015 Author Share Posted January 8, 2015 (edited) Yellow bands are done, next step will be let it dry for 2 days, then sand the yellow with 12000 grit sand paper and mask the yellow bands with masking tape where the hard line of the yellow is and then sand out the excess then comes the gloss black base paint for the alcald, my goal is to have a smooth transition from NMF to the yellow paint Edited January 8, 2015 by oppenheimer EmperorKai, Dragon and sandokan 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Peterpools Posted January 8, 2015 Share Posted January 8, 2015 Jorge How sweet the yellow bands look and of course, I can't wait to see your Alclad finish. As of late, I've been experimenting with using Tamiya Gloss Black for the base rather then Alclad's Gloss. The finish seems to be the same but the dying times are night and day, with Tamiya ready to handle is a few hours or so.

Guest Posted January 8, 2015 Share Posted January 8, 2015 Great ! I think this is what makes an F-86.....Harv Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oppenheimer Posted January 20, 2015 Author Share Posted January 20, 2015 After few weeks strugling with this model and all the details, finally the black primer for the alclad is ready, i was thinking by looking at this jet in black and yellow, how about if i paint some yellow numbers on the wings and tail and turn it into a pylon racer instead of the HUFF????? :hmmm: Black paint was sanded with 12000 grit paper to remove ani imperfection on te black paint, it really look nice, this weekend will be a ALCLAD weekend finally the las stage of the paint job Iain, sandokan and Harold 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Peterpools Posted January 21, 2015 Share Posted January 21, 2015 Jorge Sweet work on the gloss black base .. and I'm expecting a NMF finish at least the equal of your Old Crow. Keep 'em coming Peter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
