DoogsATX Posted January 4, 2016 Author Share Posted January 4, 2016 (edited) So yesterday I unexpectedly had a full day to myself, and spent most of it masking the F-104. Hard edge camo is just the worst. Again using the black basing process, I added Gunze C309 Dark Green as the main marble coat, with some C12 Olive Drab and some other Dark Green (lighter, for JASDF aircraft) for some color variation. It didn't show up so well in photos... Then, a blend coat of olive drab on the port tip tank, and a blend coat of C309 Dark Green on the 104 itself, and a lengthy mask-removal process... And here's where it came out. Edited January 4, 2016 by DoogsATX Dragon, Starfighter, D.B. Andrus and 3 others 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dodgem37 Posted January 4, 2016 Share Posted January 4, 2016 Love the pin-stripe demarcation, panel lines, and texturing. Check demarcation line port side OD windscreen front to radome. Great stuff, Matt. Always enjoy seeing your work, no matter the subject. Sincerely, Mark Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DoogsATX Posted January 7, 2016 Author Share Posted January 7, 2016 Had some awaited paint show up yesterday, including the elusive Modern Italian Gray So I was able to get the off-scheme tip tank painted up. Just a few things left now (canopy, fiberglass bit behind cockpit, AIM-9s etc) before I can move into decals and weathering.

ClumsyDude Posted January 7, 2016 Share Posted January 7, 2016 Matt, that paint finish shows up really well. I am never able to achieve that balance of subtle variation but also crisp finish. Looking great. Cheers Jim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Out2gtcha Posted January 7, 2016 Share Posted January 7, 2016 Most definitely a nice clean finish with very subtle variation to it. Subtle; that is a word I have trouble with sometimes, as I normally go TOO subtle, and cover any cool work Ive done as far as color variations go. I think Ill experiment with my OS2U as far as variations go to see if I can achieve that look on it, without carrying the over coat too far and covering my own work up.
