Brenhen 298 Posted July 3, 2017 Author Share Posted July 3, 2017 Hi Brehnen Absolutely great build, for me you found exactly the right colors for the IAF, wich colors did you use? Serge Thank you Serge. I used a combination of IAF paint sets. The main one I used was Ammo's IAF desert colors set (A.Mig 7200). I used the light compass ghost grey, middlestone and tan colors from that set. For the light green I used Hataka green out of their IAF desert aircraft from the 1970's set (as-12). Unfortunately I had a lot of trouble with this paint. No matter what I thinned it with I had horrible clumping inside the airbrush that made spraying and clean up very difficult. I believe I have an early batch of the paint, and I have since read that Hataka have changed their formula, so this may no longer be an issue. Hopefully not, because they have some really nice sets and the colors lookedaccurate. Link to post Share on other sites

alaninaustria 5,810 Posted July 5, 2017 Share Posted July 5, 2017 Really nice! I also really like the base! How did you make the tarmac on the base? Cheers Alan Brenhen 1 Link to post Share on other sites
Brenhen 298 Posted July 5, 2017 Author Share Posted July 5, 2017 Really nice! I also really like the base! How did you make the tarmac on the base? Cheers Alan Hi Alan, thanks for the comment. The tarmac was printed from a website that provides scale files for ship decks and tarmacs. There is a link to the site in the original post. There are some really nice designs on the site, and the designer has provided them for free. Thanks again! Link to post Share on other sites
Eagle Driver 814 Posted July 5, 2017 Share Posted July 5, 2017 Now I feel the need for shopping. I wanted a scooter for so long and kept postponing it. This brilliant build made my head spin and I will spend some money! Brenhen 1 Link to post Share on other sites
Bill Cross 4,337 Posted July 5, 2017 Share Posted July 5, 2017 Really nice all around, including the display. Brenhen 1 Link to post Share on other sites
Brenhen 298 Posted July 6, 2017 Author Share Posted July 6, 2017 Thanks Bill and Eagle, very appreciated! I also wanted to give a quick update on the Hataka paints I was critical of in an earlier post. I emailed Hataka about the problem and they have offered to replace the sets that I have to make sure I have the new formula. It is always nice to have a company take customer service seriously and do what is needed to fix an issue. I'm hopeful that the new paints will be much easier to work with.
