monthebiff Posted September 8, 2018 Author Share Posted September 8, 2018 Thank you all for your comments so far on the pre-shade stage of the paint scheme for my G-4. Managed to get the RLM 76 on today using a custom mix of Tamiya colours heavily thinned and applied in many many thin layers. Next up I will concentrate on getting the RLM 75 mottle on, need to study some more pictures before before I go for it though as I want to get the pattern and coverage just right and try and keep it quite subtle. As always thanks for you comments and support on this build. Regards. Andy kuya, Fooesboy, Gazzas and 10 others 13 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Uncarina Posted September 9, 2018 Share Posted September 9, 2018 Andy, Great color and coverage! I’m with you on getting into the right mindset for the mottle. Cheers, Tom monthebiff 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Padraic Conway Posted September 10, 2018 Share Posted September 10, 2018 Very impressed with your painting Andy. Looking forward to seeing the finished item. Will you be taking it to Telford this year perhaps? monthebiff 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

monthebiff Posted September 10, 2018 Author Share Posted September 10, 2018 Spent today working on the RLM 75 mottle, had not been looking foward to this part of the build and spent a lot of time looking at pictures but still dificult to see the scheme as in most b/w pictures you just cannot see the mottle and the aircraft just looks white! So with a little artistic licence this is what I have ended up with. Didn't think much to it at first but its growing on me now, interested to know peoples thoughts on the way it has turned out before I seal it in and move on to getting the markings on. Regards.

ade rowlands Posted September 10, 2018 Share Posted September 10, 2018 I look at that and my airbrush trigger finger cramps up in sympathy. Great work but rather you than me! monthebiff and Uncarina 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dukie99 Posted September 10, 2018 Share Posted September 10, 2018 If you want my humble opinion, it looks absolutely stunning. I would build more luftwaffe subjects if I could do a mottle half as good as yours. monthebiff 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
