TimHepplestone 759 Posted September 8 Calling it finished. Revell He 162. First time using MIG paints which I must say spray beautifully. OOB except for some Eduard etch in the cockpit. Left wing left "unpainted" to represent its wooded construction. Call it artistic licence. 14 nmayhew, kkarlsen, Out2gtcha and 11 others reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I used tamiya flat flesh, buff, and deck tan to create “panels” The. Burnt umber, and a mix of dark red and brown oils dragged across the surface. Light coat of tamiya clear orange to seal it Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
