AlbertD Posted August 17, 2020 Share Posted August 17, 2020 I just went back to the cockpit part of your build which is beautiful by the way. I was wondering how you painted the tiny tic marks around some dials and on the throttle? I can't seem to get that really fine detail that you do. spyrosjzmichos 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The majority of dials and smaller markings are a combination of Airscale and ANYZ model decals. You pretty much apply them like any other decal on the dial faces and other cockpit surfaces. Here's some links you can check: https://anyz.io/ https://www.airscale.co.uk/store.html#!/Early-Allied-Jets/c/10110361/offset=0&sort=normal Hope that helps.

I'll have to pick some up and give it a try. It's probably too late for my current build but I will use them in the future. spyrosjzmichos 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

spyrosjzmichos Posted August 24, 2020 Author Share Posted August 24, 2020 Hello everyone! It's been some time since the last update. After completing the camo painting and initial weathering I moved on to applying the decals. The DXM decals behaved beautifully and conformed to every surface detail without any fuss. I used mr mark softer and setter which I think proved a tad to strong as two hinomarus melted in some spots. Luckily DXM provides two sets of national insignia and I was able to cut small sections to cover the affected areas. The fuselage is covered with a myriad of stencils and warning signs and DXM has tried to combine as many as possible in on decal. However, it still took a good five 2h sessions to finish the whole thing. With the decals in place I then applied a wash using Tamiya's panel line accent and sealed everything with a coat of Vallejo matt varnish. And a few detail shots.

spyrosjzmichos Posted August 24, 2020 Author Share Posted August 24, 2020 I was also pointed out some flaws on the metal areas around the tail section. I decided to sand the whole area smooth and repaint it. Think it does look much bette now. The horizontal stabilisers were also slightly reworked. The undercarriage are also done at this stage. scvrobeson, stusbke, Fanes and 19 others 20 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
