Zero77 Posted April 26, 2016 Posted April 26, 2016 I'm impressed you finished such a nice model so fast ! That's a very sexy aircraft. dmthamade 1
Shawn M Posted April 26, 2016 Posted April 26, 2016 bravo, very nicely done. Now...do I need one of these kits too.....hrmmmm dmthamade 1
Shaka HI Posted April 26, 2016 Posted April 26, 2016 Thanks for sharing. I wondered how you did the chipping to look so nice and random..it looks authentic, up close which you don't get with dry-brushing and/or silver pencils. dmthamade 1

I wondered how you did the chipping to look so nice and random..it looks authentic, up close which you don't get with dry-brushing and/or silver pencils. Happy to share!! Thinking about it, it is how real chipping occurs. Don Edited April 26, 2016 by dmthamade Shawn M 1
dmthamade Posted April 26, 2016 Author Posted April 26, 2016 bravo, very nicely done. Now...do I need one of these kits too.....hrmmmm I've built two of these kits and thoroughly enjoyed both. There are lots of schemes available, some look scary to do, some very simple. If you want a simple kit that falls together, but lets you go wild on schemes, this is a good one. Don Shawn M 1
dennismcc Posted April 26, 2016 Posted April 26, 2016 Beautiful job and a very realistic finish, not a big fan of Japanese subjects but I built one of these many years ago (Frog I think) when I was very young and I do have a soft spot for the type. Cheers Dennis
BloorwestSiR Posted April 26, 2016 Posted April 26, 2016 Great job Don. Thanks for the tips on the chipping. I'll have to give it a try. Carl
Shaka HI Posted April 26, 2016 Posted April 26, 2016 Yeah! Thanks for that tip. Seems like a much better solution than using salt or modeling products at a fraction of the cost!
dmthamade Posted April 27, 2016 Author Posted April 27, 2016 I can't take credit for "inventing" this method of chipping paint, read about it a loooong time ago, can't remember when. Might have been back in the 90's. Don
mywifehatesmodels Posted May 3, 2016 Posted May 3, 2016 Just catching up, Don. You've hit this one out of the park! It's spot on. :clap2: John dmthamade 1
Shawn M Posted May 10, 2016 Posted May 10, 2016 well you did it and I blame you (lol) bought the old Revell japan kit of this. You don't happen to have the other IP (raised detail) you'd be willing to part with would ya? dmthamade 1
dmthamade Posted May 10, 2016 Author Posted May 10, 2016 well you did it and I blame you (lol) bought the old Revell japan kit of this. You don't happen to have the other IP (raised detail) you'd be willing to part with would ya? The instrument panel had the raised detail filed off so i could apply the decal, so i don't have a spare. I do have a whole bunch of decals i'll never used that you can have. PM me if your interested. Don
Shawn M Posted May 11, 2016 Posted May 11, 2016 ahh gotcha, thought there was a smoothie and a bumpy one lol
