Phartycr0c Posted April 23, 2019 Share Posted April 23, 2019 Just finished this build really as a test bed for my own skillset. 1 try the Mig US NAVY ww2 paint set, First time with Mig paints. 2 Try and build a Kitty Hawk kit. The subject interests me so Why not? 3. Have a go at producing a water effect base as cheaply as possible. 4. practice a little weathering of dark colours. I have to say I quite enjoyed this build with the exception of the engine of the Kingfisher. Its the KH kit with the Big Ed set and Master barrel .30 cal. Base is bog paper, foamboard, diluted pva, cheap acrylic paint of various "water" shades and a tin of water based hi gloss varnish Excuse the photography On with the show very loosly based on this internet image Needs aerials and a little rigging but its done. tucohoward, Alain Gadbois, Daniel Leduc and 26 others 29 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Out2gtcha Posted April 23, 2019 Share Posted April 23, 2019 Wow, excellent! I liked the kit myself, save some odd engineering choices and poor instructions and processes in places. Phartycr0c 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thunderbolt Posted April 23, 2019 Share Posted April 23, 2019 nice work! how do you think the paint sprayed? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Out2gtcha Posted April 23, 2019 Share Posted April 23, 2019 I also noticed that it appears you did what I did on my KHM demo model.....paint the bulbous fuel fill covers clear red. IIRC, they are supposed to be flat red, but takes nothing away from the build! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

According to what I read yes. If you can find something to the contrary please do share. I thought they were lights and painted mine clear red, as the instructions on this are really poor, and dont say what kind of red. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Im not doubting you, the only thing I read was that OS2U-3 and later had Wing tanks, but I never realized where the fillers were.

Neither did I! I forget where I discovered that info, but I'm pretty sure that's what I found, but I'll be happily proven wrong. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

aircommando130 Posted April 27, 2019 Share Posted April 27, 2019 Nice paint...nice weathering...great water! Kingfisher is such a cool airplane too! Great job! No shark lurking about 10 feet away from the airplane in that shallow Pacific water??? Cheers....Ron Phartycr0c 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
