Greif8 Posted January 29, 2023 Share Posted January 29, 2023 Good luck Dave! I hope your don't have to make any corrections and your primer coat goes down smooth. Ernest Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
denders Posted January 31, 2023 Author Share Posted January 31, 2023 Thanks Ernest. I found one slight spot to sand a little. I've now put a black primer (MRP) on it. Aluminum color next, after I rub it down a little. mywifehatesmodels, MikeMaben, mc65 and 5 others 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greif8 Posted February 1, 2023 Share Posted February 1, 2023 Very nice looking primer coat Dave. Once you have buffed it out it will be a solid base for the overcoat. Ernest Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
denders Posted February 5, 2023 Author Share Posted February 5, 2023 Okay, the aluminum is on, the white is on, and the blue. I used True Blue. I think it's reasonably close. The tail is still in white. I have to place the masks for the tail number then an orangy red, something close to color N18. I think I'm going to add some N14 yellow into N20 red. The N20 is the color for the Hinomaru. There are two spots to touch up the aluminum (overspray) and a couple places to touch up the white, with a brush.

denders Posted February 6, 2023 Author Share Posted February 6, 2023 Well, this color red is painted. The masks for the Hinomarus are cut and working on the mask for the Hokoku.

denders Posted February 7, 2023 Author Share Posted February 7, 2023 Annnnd...... I don't trust my shaky hands when wielding the airbrush. That's all for tonight. I still have to create the Hokoku mask, then everything else will be decals. And don't look too closely at the builder's data plate because it won't have the correct S/N. mechanic, Alain Gadbois, KiwiZac and 9 others 12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
