quang Posted May 13 Author Share Posted May 13 (edited) Back to the paint shop. Time was spent to reinforce contrast and adjust tonal balance. Mostly done with brush and oils. Always in the build-up mode. The result after a few hours work. First attempt at depicting the oil spill from the left side window (an idiosyncrasy of the early Hawks) The dentist’s view!

Tolga ULGUR Posted May 14 Share Posted May 14 Excellent progress Did you use silver pencil on wingroot chipping? MARU5137 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fanes Posted May 14 Share Posted May 14 Just marvellous! I really like the oil spills and the chipped/scratched paint on the wing root. MARU5137 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I bought 3 mini-spray at 1€ apiece and tested. They come in different ‘strengths’. I found the weakest variety (#2) works best for lacquer chipping. It also depends on the chip size you’re looking for. Well worth trying. HTH Q Tolga ULGUR, HB252 and MARU5137 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No no, I didn’t try to reproduce them Cheers, Quang Fanes, MARU5137 and Tolga ULGUR 1 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

quang Posted May 14 Author Share Posted May 14 Thank you @waroff, ever so precise with your input. Rest assured, folks, we’re in good hands… but how long will a modeller’s confidence last under the relentless scrutiny of Dr. W’s eye?

Neo Posted May 14 Share Posted May 14 Cant believe that the wings and fuselage where painter before assembly!!! The camo matches up great and there are no seam, glue marks or anything Since extra thin doesn't like painted surfaces what did you use to glue the wing on? How do you avoid seeping glue and marks on the paint? Your build looks amazing MARU5137 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
