Fenous Posted June 22, 2015 Author Share Posted June 22, 2015 You got it, I forgot manually ballance while using another light source than usually. It`s still bare plastic, I`ll use black Mr.Surfacer as primer because there will be lot of white on surface and black is the best undercoat for white color. And lot of masking will follow....

Fenous Posted June 27, 2015 Author Share Posted June 27, 2015 1000 surfacer followed by 1500 black surfacer, tomorrow check for mistakes, correcting them, polishing and start with camouflage. Anthony in NZ and Zero77 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fenous Posted June 29, 2015 Author Share Posted June 29, 2015 White homeland defence identification painted, weathering unfortunately almost invisible under lighting I use for work, but it`s there. When dry, I will play a little with control surfecas, than mask what should be white and paint yellow and red warning strips. and after that underside camouflage color will start.

Fenous Posted July 9, 2015 Author Share Posted July 9, 2015 White bandages masked, yellow parts airbrushed and partially masked. Process is very slow, if one wants it made nicely. Mal_Belford, ClumsyDude, tomv87 and 4 others 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ClumsyDude Posted July 9, 2015 Share Posted July 9, 2015 Always love to see a really meticulous masking job ... and this one is right up there! It'll look great, can't wait till the masks come off. Cheers Jim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lucgeenen666 Posted July 9, 2015 Share Posted July 9, 2015 I already know now that this is going to be one fine model. Love it. Luc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fenous Posted July 27, 2015 Author Share Posted July 27, 2015 General painting finished, some corrections still needed, but I`ll wait for daylight, better then my LED lighting. I`m curious what corrections will be necessary after removing masks, looking forward to demasking as always, but those repairs I hate.

Zero77 Posted July 28, 2015 Share Posted July 28, 2015 (edited) Very interesting WIP, with great detailing and paint job ! ANd i love this light olive greyish green ! I just did not understand why you said that black is the best undercoat for white paint? White covers quite nicely, but isn't it more difficult to cover black than light grey?

White covers quite nicely, but isn't it more difficult to cover black than light grey? It`s an artistic rule I`ve heard - base coat under white should be black, under yellow and red should be white.

Zero77 Posted July 28, 2015 Share Posted July 28, 2015 Interesting ! I may try it. However, as for the red, a yellow undercoat may sometimes be better than a white undercoat. A white undercoat can make it a bit pinky, but it also depend of the kind of red, and the quality and covering power of the paint. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fooesboy Posted July 28, 2015 Share Posted July 28, 2015 What a great build, I like the contrast you have in the paint. Put me down as another person looking forward to the great un-masking! I am intrigued... how have you fitted the handle into the front firewall, I'm always looking to improve how I handle and model, especially during painting and weathering, what you have done looks superb!

Fenous Posted July 29, 2015 Author Share Posted July 29, 2015 Unmasking done, some minor corrections needed, but nothing serious, far from what i was afraid of. Now I need to blend in white and yellow somehow to correspond with the rest of the airframe. ClumsyDude, tomv87, jgrease and 2 others 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
