Guest Peterpools Posted November 2, 2016 Share Posted November 2, 2016 Shaka Terrific paint work on the rudder. Yup, less weathering at times means a bit more attention and neatness. Looking so good Keep 'em coming Peter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shaka HI Posted November 3, 2016 Author Share Posted November 3, 2016 (edited) [EDIT: I misinterpreted the information provided. Best guess is that the stripes DID NOT extend to the bottom as portrayed here.] Thanks everyone. Minor update...more masking and based on some sound input...angled stripes extended to the bottom. Again, some clean up will be required.

BloorwestSiR Posted November 3, 2016 Share Posted November 3, 2016 Nice and clean Shaka! Carl Shawn M 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shaka HI Posted November 3, 2016 Author Share Posted November 3, 2016 Thanks Carl..unfortunately, I might have wasted my time. I still think it looks more right than not, so I'll keep it. But anyone else who may end up seeing this will save some tedious masking! Leaning_Dog 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shaka HI Posted November 7, 2016 Author Share Posted November 7, 2016 (edited) Gold stripes painted. A bit thinner than intended, but I'll accept it for now. I did make the stripe near the aft a little thicker on purpose as they look thicker on the real aircraft, but I now I look at the pictures again -- I'm not seeing that (the fuselage pinches giving me that illusion, I suppose)...LOL. Some detail painting as well. I'll give it a light sanding and will clear it for decals soon.

Shaka HI Posted November 10, 2016 Author Share Posted November 10, 2016 (edited) Thanks all! I lightly sanded, then clear coated the model with a Future/Windex/drop of Flow aid mix. About 3 coats. Not as glossy as I want and it sure revealed a lot more flaws compared to a flat finish...but I'm happy. (That blue looks weird on this photo...edit, better photo.) Ready for decals...I can't wait!
