Gazzas Posted July 24, 2021 Share Posted July 24, 2021 The figure looks pretty good. I'm trying to get figures done for every model too and my painting just ain;t that hot. scvrobeson 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scvrobeson Posted July 24, 2021 Author Share Posted July 24, 2021 Yeah, I've got a few figures now, mostly the WnW ace figures, so I've got stuff to practice on. But my painting definitely has a long way to go on making them look like they're supposed to. Matt Gazzas 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scvrobeson Posted July 28, 2021 Author Share Posted July 28, 2021 Work has returned to the Camel. I went through the laborious step of taping off the rib tapes and spars, then pre-shading them for the top coats. The upper surfaces got Tamiya XF-27 Black Green with XF-62 Olive Drab spars. The underside was done with Tamiya XF-64 Red Brown shading and MRP NATO Brown spars. The undersurfaces will get their traditional CDL coat, then overcoated with the PC-10 to represent the night fighter overcoat. The top surfaces will just be PC-10. Let me know what you think.

Clear Doped Linen, the basic fabric coating of British planes of the period. Matt MikeMaben 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scvrobeson Posted August 4, 2021 Author Share Posted August 4, 2021 Paint is now on the Camel. The basic PC-10 is MRP, the highlighting was Mr. Color 27. The underside of the wings and fuselage were originally Clear Doped Linen, but were roughly overpainted with PC-10 to become night fighters. That's why it appears so different. The front of the fuselage is Tamiya XF-61 Dark Green, highlighted with XF-4 Yellow Green, then blended back with one more mist coat of PC-10. Now it's onto a gloss coat and the decals. I know they've been finicky in the Camel kits, we'll see what happens. Let me know what you think of it.

MikeC Posted August 5, 2021 Share Posted August 5, 2021 That's looking very good. Love the contrast between the sheen on the fabric and the metal and wood parts of the nose. But unless I missed something earlier, you seem to be shedding struts ... scvrobeson 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, the cabane struts do have a tendency to break. Luckily, I will be able to pin them back together when the time comes. Matt MikeC 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gazzas Posted August 6, 2021 Share Posted August 6, 2021 Love the way your pre-base color work adds detail. Nice job! scvrobeson 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scvrobeson Posted September 5, 2021 Author Share Posted September 5, 2021 Hello everyone, I'm back with progress on the Camel. As I'm sure most of you are aware, the start of the school year is a hectic time, so build time was limited. But I was able to get the decals on and sealed. I was apprehensive after hearing some horror stories of Camel decals breaking in water, but these were fine. Roundels took a lot of effort to get to conform, but that was really because they had some tough detail to go over/around. Now it's to paint in the little details, then get to weathering and assembly. Tail was masked and painted, I don't trust fin flash decals to fit and conform correctly ever. Let me know what you think Matt Anthony in NZ, KUROK, MikeMaben and 10 others 13 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
