Pete Fleischmann Posted May 12, 2020 Author Share Posted May 12, 2020 (edited) Hey all- started with the cockpit stuff. first I shot some primer yellow (Tamiya XF-4 yellow green) on those spots I was going to chip. When dry, this was shot with a barrier coat of flat lacquer. (You can skip the lacquer if your primer color is enamel) once dry, shoot it with aerosol hair spray right out of the can. Let that dry. A hairdryer will do the trick in a minute or two. When the hairspray is dry, airbrush Tamiya Rubber black over that. Clean your airbrush. By the time you have your airbrush put away, you can start on the next step. grab a short bristled brush and some water. Wet the area you want to chip. Let it sit for a minute, then start working the chipping with your brush. Clean the black off of your brush periodically as you go- when all that dries, dry brush with MM Gunship Grey enamel. The instrument panel went a little differently. First, I shot it with Tamiya Rubber black. When dry, I dry brushed the whole affair with MM Gunship Grey. To get the contrast I wanted between the raised instruments and flat panel, dry brushing wasn’t enough.. there needs to be two distinct blacks..a noticeable but subtle difference between the instrument bezels and flat panel. To achieve this, I used an old-school technique- I carefully applied a jet black wash with a long bristled thin brush..carefully flowing the wash in between the raised instruments. This was built up slowly in thin layers. You need to put this on thin to get it to flow. Capillary action is your friend. from here I can start the detail painting, etc- cheers Pete Edited May 13, 2020 by Pete Fleischmann chukw, Uncarina, easixpedro and 20 others 23 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pete Fleischmann Posted May 15, 2020 Author Share Posted May 15, 2020 Thanks everyone for your kind support! This center pedestal is as nice as any high end resin piece or Tamiya part. It was a joy to paint..not done yet though- I paint tiny details like a sniper..holding my breath, touching the paintbrush to the part between heartbeats. cheers Pete J.J., Lenny320, johncrow and 8 others 11 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
markiii Posted May 16, 2020 Share Posted May 16, 2020 "Holding your breath", nah that's a giant hand holding a 1/1 scale panel. Nice work all around. Based on your suggestion, I just ordered some AnyZ knobs, toggles and decals from HobbyZone. They just got them in and pretty much sold out already.
