oppenheimer Posted April 27, 2020 Author Share Posted April 27, 2020 I have been playing with some parts of the MH-60L that can be painted away from the model to get the touch of the black before i proceed with the fuselage, and also preparing the fuselage for the final coat of color Pete Fleischmann, J.J., chrish and 7 others 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stokey Pete Posted April 28, 2020 Share Posted April 28, 2020 Please enlighten us as to how you’ve achieved the finish. I’ve got the same kit and the black has been giving me nightmares about getting right. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pete, yes the black is a nightmare to work with, for the first time i am using oils to do the tonal variations on the black is the only way i found to get i nice looking black finish Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’ve often wondered if a drop or two of blue/brown/green/grey to the black, using various mixes to give the variations required. I shall be utilising paint mules for many many experiments.

oppenheimer Posted May 4, 2020 Author Share Posted May 4, 2020 nothing much to say, i am still on the process of paint, worked on the tail boom left side, kind of like the finish so far, the nose is with the base coat, no weathering yet, and i added the sub parts so i can get a general look of what is done so far scvrobeson, Michael931080, johncrow and 3 others 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kev Thanks Kev, its being a long time without doing something bigger than 1/48, but i am a big fan of the black hawk helicopter family, so you will see much more of it, as i am planning to buy all the Kitty Hawk releases of this chopper Jorge Edited May 4, 2020 by oppenheimer LSP_Kevin 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scvrobeson Posted May 4, 2020 Share Posted May 4, 2020 Looks brilliant. Love the black color. Are the rivets on the tail boom raised or recessed? Can't tell from the pictures. Matt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
