Gelerth Posted October 8, 2015 Author Share Posted October 8, 2015 What color did you use for the cockpit? Mike Mike, I used Tamiya acrylics: X-14 Sky Blue mixed with X-28 Park Green and about 10% of XF-5 Flat Green. First two colors were added until I get the desired shade. Sorry that I cannot give you the exact ratio but colors were added for a few drops. andromeda673 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gelerth Posted October 9, 2015 Author Share Posted October 9, 2015 fantastic work here, really interesting build, and this is going to be bitching! Thank you. Ok. Work continues and today some photos related to engine. First parts painted with alclads, some dry brush and white pigments: After assembly and a little wash it looks like this: It's a pity that it won't be visible. Ok. Stay tuned as more photos will be posted tomorrow. mywifehatesmodels, Zero77 and Lars Befring 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gelerth Posted October 10, 2015 Author Share Posted October 10, 2015 It was a good day. Starting from some small rocks on the walk paths: Then grass: Then I started preparing a land around the monument: And some test mold from material called progel. It is very easy in use and fully reusable: Then I glued an engine with exhaust nozzle and bottom fin, it didn't fit too well so I had to use some putty: Later I paint and wash elements used to join fuselage halves: They look like this after gluing in place: Dry fit of all elements: Closer look shows that vertical stabilizer do not fit - will have to file it: Zero77 and Lars Befring 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gelerth Posted October 10, 2015 Author Share Posted October 10, 2015 I ordered dischargers from Master and resin wheels from Armory as the kits parts look poor: And two hours of preshading: And finally cart get some colors: Lars Befring and Zero77 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gelerth Posted October 12, 2015 Author Share Posted October 12, 2015 Small update: I've painted all missiles, bombs etc and I've added wash to those without decals: I've add wash to cart: And I'm still working on the monument: Lars Befring and Zero77 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scvrobeson Posted October 12, 2015 Share Posted October 12, 2015 That engine looks really awesome. Very realistic. Like the display option of the monument ramp. Look forward to seeing the rest of this go together Matt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gelerth Posted October 15, 2015 Author Share Posted October 15, 2015 Looking good, will be awesome with some paint on. Jim Thank you. I like to paint, but I'm always most worried about this part. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ClumsyDude Posted October 15, 2015 Share Posted October 15, 2015 Me too, it always seems harder to go back and fix it up if you make a mess. That said, if you make as many mistakes as I do, you get a lot of practice at it, so maybe it's not so bad!! Love the base too, keep it up.
