Out2gtcha Posted January 4, 2021 Share Posted January 4, 2021 I do think it looks quite good as well. Can you show a pic of the smoke ring decals for a comparison? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thunnus Posted January 4, 2021 Share Posted January 4, 2021 I do love the Macchi Folgore and Veltro airframes! I think the smoke rings look very good too. Maybe try to get more uniform opacity on them? Some of them look a bit transparent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe is a horrible light from my desk lamp or they're really slightly transparent. I'll take a look on them and try to do it right Thanks! 19 hours ago, Out2gtcha said: I do think it looks quite good as well. Can you show a pic of the smoke ring decals for a comparison? Thank you.

Steve C Posted January 8, 2021 Share Posted January 8, 2021 The Macchi looks great. Did you ever receive the 3d print of the Mig-31? Regards, Steve KiwiZac 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
artoor_k Posted February 20, 2021 Author Share Posted February 20, 2021 Whew, 1,5 year on the bench is too much...Time to end this WIP. On 1/8/2021 at 4:58 AM, Steve C said: The Macchi looks great. Did you ever receive the 3d print of the Mig-31? Regards, Steve Thanks. I received Mig-31 but print was soo poor that there was no chance to make sth out of it. Anyway, today I'm close to finish Veltro. Where we are by now: Roundels and CV*V are painted with custom masks. Now few details, figure, base, paint touch-ups. little weathering and it should be the end Landrotten Highlander, LSP_Kevin, Daniel Leduc and 7 others 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wingman777 Posted February 20, 2021 Share Posted February 20, 2021 I’m glad you stayed with the painted smoke rings. We have to remember that when these real aircraft were painted it was by imperfect people using fallible equipment in stressful conditions. It was for combat aircraft, not Indy show cars. Imperfections took place then also and they were accepted and life went on due to larger priorities...just like us but in a smaller scale. Rock on!
