Out2gtcha Posted June 16, 2019 Share Posted June 16, 2019 Neat! Are you doing an all NMF on the 182 or are you throwing in other colors? Looking forward to more Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chrish Posted June 16, 2019 Author Share Posted June 16, 2019 Thanks for looking it’s in the masking phase at this time for more colours ....hmmmm I should take a picture or two now that I think of it, to do a two tone 1957 factory paint scheme. The cowl top and window frame in black with a lower accent colour, right now I’m torn trying to pick that colour...teal, red or yellow.

chrish Posted June 17, 2019 Author Share Posted June 17, 2019 I have masked and painted the secondary colors, again, not the best job of painting but with no decals for the scheme I wanted and a willingness to try, I did get fairly close to what I want in a retro color scheme and colour (the teal is home mixed Tamiya acrylics blues and greens until I got something I liked) I used a spare kit fuselage to trace out the shape and positioning of the markings (I had to use a spare because I forgot to do it with the one I'm working on...thank goodness for spare kits!) In any case, here's some images of the 182 as it sits tonight, the tail is still masked because it's up for paint tomorrow. "The plan" Teal colour going on; masking off Again, thanks to those who stop in for a look. Shawn M, rafju, Out2gtcha and 2 others 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Out2gtcha Posted June 17, 2019 Share Posted June 17, 2019 Wow, the teal/black/nmf is really striking! Cant wait to see everything unmasked. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gazzas Posted June 17, 2019 Share Posted June 17, 2019 I like it! Fantastic scheme! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chrish Posted June 17, 2019 Author Share Posted June 17, 2019 Thanks! Well I've done a bit more painting, I'd say I'm at the ragged edge of what can be done with Tamiya masking tape, it's great stuff and has earned a permanent place on my bench! I masked and painted the stripe graphics on the tail and that's it for the major paint work. I'll be getting back to assembly now fitting the wheels prop etc. I think it's got that '50's look to it now... masking work; Painting masks off Thanks for looking!

chrish Posted June 19, 2019 Author Share Posted June 19, 2019 Thanks for looking and commenting, always appreciated! I'm down to, as the saying goes, the short strokes. Almost all the modelling and painting work has been finished. I'm quite tickled with it! I know it's not perfect, nothing I do is even close. It does however catch the personality of a 1950's Cessna though, and is quite different from the many things on my display shelves. Another plus that. Some pics; Masking the prop building a pitot tube and mount Nearly finished, other than registration decals and painting the nav. lights I'll try making a windshield centre strip from BMF during the finishing up Gazzas, LSP_Kevin and rafju 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rafju Posted June 19, 2019 Share Posted June 19, 2019 Hi Chris Congrats in this great work! I like it, and the result is convincing - even if the dihedral seems a little bit too flat ;-) but thats only my own point of view, not a remark.
