IainM Posted June 18, 2022 Share Posted June 18, 2022 Nice work!! Love it that you're building a JG300 bird! Yep, and F-8 would have probably had the bomb release panel, usually not the A-8, but hey, it adds some nice visual interest!! duke_ 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

duke_ Posted June 18, 2022 Author Share Posted June 18, 2022 that was quick!! all panels re-scribed and mr surfacer 1000 gave a smooth finish after a light sanding with 6000 micromesh everything looks fine to me , no imperfections i have also fixed (filled) the joint between the wing gun covers and the fuselage next step is silver coat and then the HGW rivet decal set can't wait to put some paint on it.. regards Spyros Greg W, Dpgsbody55, Gazzas and 13 others 16 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thunnus Posted June 22, 2022 Share Posted June 22, 2022 Beautiful paintwork, Spyros! I love the subtle color shifts in the pre-shade. I also have a 1ManArmy stencils for my D-9 build so I'm looking forward to seeing them in action too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

duke_ Posted June 24, 2022 Author Share Posted June 24, 2022 now moving to the wing camouflage RLM 81 AK the *green version ). and gunze RLM 75 there is no weathering yet , just pre-shading , painting and immediately a light sanding with micromesh. I have a layer with hairspray in some areas like the wing roots and the the wing gun covers but it can activated any time , so i will deal with that when i 'll decide the overall look.. maybe too much chipping it the gun cover ? thanks for watching!

duke_ Posted June 30, 2022 Author Share Posted June 30, 2022 some masking and painting with 1ManArmy masks some attention is required to the placement of the stencils especially the small ones as you have to find the exact position on such a small surface and the masks are not fully transparent.. thank you!
