Out2gtcha Posted February 17, 2017 Posted February 17, 2017 Wow, that is just terrific! I really honestly love it. The weathering, OD paint, and in flight display combine to make a really special model. Congrats!
Planesimple81 Posted February 17, 2017 Posted February 17, 2017 Good on ya... i always liked the od green over neutral grey stangs. Lookin forward to the spit. cib2265 1
Tomcat14 Posted February 17, 2017 Posted February 17, 2017 I have no complaints on this build, I think you did an excellent job on the weathering and painting. Chris. cib2265 1
cib2265 Posted February 23, 2017 Author Posted February 23, 2017 Thanks everyone again - I've put a short video up on Youtube to explain the build/paint/weathering:

Gerhard Posted March 15, 2017 Posted March 15, 2017 especially like the wing root wear. Cheers Bevan Ditto that, how did you do it?
cib2265 Posted March 15, 2017 Author Posted March 15, 2017 For the chipping I used the hairspray method. Primed, sprayed Alclad (I think from memory), hairspray (cheap $2 a bottle stuff), primed black, base coat, then water to reactivate the hairspray. I used toothpicks, Tamiya paint stirrer for scratches and a series of thicker/slanted hard bristle brushes for the more aggressive stuff.. For the different tones in the color I used Mig/Ammo panel line washes, but stippled on and/or streaked plus some underlying variation in the base paint when I did the marbling. Could have gone more aggressive I think.
Bill Cross Posted March 15, 2017 Posted March 15, 2017 Very nice. Not often we see one "in action" with a pilot. cib2265 1
cib2265 Posted March 16, 2017 Author Posted March 16, 2017 Very nice. Not often we see one "in action" with a pilot. Thanks Bill! I do all my aircraft this way - with a pilot, inflight. I've got quite a few experiments underway to make this more realistic. Apart from the Spitfire, I have a Wingnut Wings Albatros in flight banking sharply, an Airfix P-40B in a steep climb, and a few others..including using shadow boxes. I've also done an 1/48 F-22 firing a missile with LEDs in the tailpipes: Next after the Spitfire is either/or a Mig-29 (GWH) or Mig-31 (AMK) in flight, using a "Blur" background... Bill Cross 1
