Gerhard Posted November 26, 2021 Share Posted November 26, 2021 A bit harsh on yourself. That looks very good to me. dmthamade, coogrfan and KiwiZac 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dmthamade Posted December 2, 2021 Author Share Posted December 2, 2021 Had some spare time, was able to apply a panel line wash. I usually use Promodeller wash, but for some reason, it didn't work well. Didn't settle into panel lines, was a little grainy. This is an old bottle, may have been reason. I used a homebrew wash instead. Solution of Tamiya XF-1 Flat Black, Tamiya XF-10 Flat Brown, water, and dish soap. I've used this mix a lot before, still worked flawlessly. Everything sealed with Vallejo Matt Varnish, much closer to dead flat than other matts i've used. Running out of parts, may have this done tonight/tomorrow.

Jaro Posted December 3, 2021 Share Posted December 3, 2021 Spectacular weathering and matt varnish on NMF! I like it very much! dmthamade 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dodgem37 Posted December 3, 2021 Share Posted December 3, 2021 That's a nice piece. I favor that type of weathering as well. Sincerely, Mark dmthamade 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KiwiZac Posted December 4, 2021 Share Posted December 4, 2021 I slept on this one, wow! I have to confess I was worried when you said "panel line wash" but that's come up a real treat! Before it was a beautiful clean build, but this makes it look like an aeroplane. Bravo! dmthamade 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dmthamade Posted December 4, 2021 Author Share Posted December 4, 2021 Have to say, can't put a gloss coat or shiny NMF on an operational warbird, just doesn't look right to me. I think if i were to do this as a restored warbird, the gloss would be appropriate. Did manage to complete this one, happy with the results.

MikeMaben Posted December 4, 2021 Share Posted December 4, 2021 Turned out quite nicely Don. Fine work dmthamade 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dodgem37 Posted December 4, 2021 Share Posted December 4, 2021 Erich Hartmann White 1 in my signature. You say you used acrylics to make your weathering, I used gouache over gloss for a similar effect. Sincerely, Mark dmthamade 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dmthamade Posted December 4, 2021 Author Share Posted December 4, 2021 Thank you for the positive feedback, guys!! The weathering is on the conservative side, too easy for me to overdo it. Prop is supposed to have blue overspray on it, have to say, it's easy for me to mess up accidentally, to do so on purpose, not so. No overspray on the prop. The look i was going for was like a dirty car, dusty, spotted from rain, very little to no sheen. The Messerschmitt wing looks almost identical to what i got, mark, looks like a used not abused aircraft. Don geedubelyer 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
