Breaker Posted September 27, 2016 Author Share Posted September 27, 2016 Tried something different today in an attempt to show the fibreglass (assumed) cover on the radar equipment. Base coat of the correct colour then two different tones applied "drysponging" dry brushing but with a sponge piece torn off randomly. A blend coat was then applied to tone it down.

ClumsyDude Posted September 27, 2016 Share Posted September 27, 2016 The fibreglass effect looks really good. Great creative solution, well done! Jim Breaker 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hi Harvy, I decided to just go with the Trumpeter decals for this one, the Linden Hill ones only provide the numbers and squadron flash and it didn't seem worth the money. As such I followed their instructions on the painting guide but with my own colours. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Breaker Posted September 30, 2016 Author Share Posted September 30, 2016 Started throwing some decals down just to get an idea of how it's all going to tie together. also threw some ammo panel liner down to give some life to the paint. I've since removed the carrier film on the decals as well! johncrow, mark31 and F`s are my favs 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ClumsyDude Posted October 2, 2016 Share Posted October 2, 2016 Looks great! The variegated effect on the wing is awesome! How did you do it? Jim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Breaker Posted October 2, 2016 Author Share Posted October 2, 2016 Looks great! The variegated effect on the wing is awesome! How did you do it? Jim Black primer with a marbled base colour. A second marbled layer of a similar colour but lighter. Blend coat of the first colour to level it all out. Clear coat was then applied and Ammo PLW was applied all over then removed roughly to leave traces of "dirt" behind. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Breaker Posted October 4, 2016 Author Share Posted October 4, 2016 Getting close to the finish line now, only a few parts left in primer. I've also attempted to fade my decal with tamiya weathering powder, applied the snow to a wet surface and once dry gently sponged it off to give a random effect. Whilst I was planning my weathering as well, I noticed that I was missing the 'source' points and it would if looked odd. I couldn't let this go, so I've started to add drainage pipes and plugs with stock plastic and brass. Few more to do on the airframe this week. johncrow and F`s are my favs 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
