TimHepplestone Posted September 8, 2019 Share Posted September 8, 2019 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.

As said oils over base coat of acrylics. 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

curiouslysophie Posted September 9, 2019 Share Posted September 9, 2019 Lovely work on the 162! The unpainted wing looks great. I want to add one of these to my German jet collection but I can’t find the kit anywhere. Out2gtcha 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
