Furie Posted March 22 Author Share Posted March 22 (edited) Today, I mainly did some tests to better visualize the rather peculiar BB'ing I'm going to do on the wooden wings: so I took my mule + dark alu + black + white + light brown + tan (as on my Yak 9). For the underside of the wing MRP 18/AMT 7 with 1/3 thinner and the top with MRP 19/AMT 11 + MRP 20/AMT 12 with 1/3 thinner. Results: AMT 7 and AMT 11 are pretty good I think, but AMT 12 covers the BB'ing a bit too much (in fact, it depends mainly on the orientation of the light, which is very powerful). So I'd have to paint a thinner coat for this AMT 12. What do you think? I can't wait to read your opinions on this BB'ing. Thanks in advance.

It was a real pleasure to meet you in Bron on Saturday, to chat with you and share our common passion. Thanks again for all the tips and tricks you gave me, and for having been able to admire your two breathtakingly beautiful M2Ks. I've said it before and I'll say it again: it's one thing to see a model's picture on a forum, but it's quite another to see it for real. Bravo again and thank you and see you soon I hope.

I'm quite happy with the tests I've done, the most important thing is that the effects are visible but discreet. This morning I'm going to try painting the underside of the plane in very thin layers so that I can modulate the final look. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Furie Posted March 25 Author Share Posted March 25 Well, I've just painted with MRP 18/AMT 7 with 1/3 thinner. The transparency of the MRP paint, further enhanced by the thinner, enabled me to modulate this rather strange BB'ing as I wished, to achieve a subtle but present effect. A few brown/tan highlights can be seen here and there, making the overall effect less "monobloc". I'm quite satisfied with the result, which is just what I wanted. patricksparks, denders, Isar 30/07 and 19 others 22 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mount Juliet, TN USA Thanks Dennis, I'm glad you like my little painting job. It's a kind of experimental painting, and I'm quite happy with the result, and hope that the top of the wing will be just as successful!
