Gerhard Posted May 27, 2018 Share Posted May 27, 2018 If I ever build one, and it's half as good as yours, I will be a very happy man. That is superb work. Bomber_County 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JeepsGunsTanks Posted May 27, 2018 Share Posted May 27, 2018 Wow, that kit looks fantastic, and your build is beautiful. I love your building station, it makes me think I really can get back into this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shaka HI Posted May 27, 2018 Share Posted May 27, 2018 Just caught up...what a fantastic build. Learned a few things too...IPA shouldn't be consumed ice cold? Need to check the Australian Shiraz! (I had no idea this kit had the stress-skin effect built-in!) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grant_T Posted May 28, 2018 Author Share Posted May 28, 2018 Thanks all. Today I jumped into the weathering and tried a few new techniques. I figured with such a beat up airframe it really needed to be significantly weathered, but I really didn't want to over do it. Looking at pictures they could be pretty worn though. This was a bit worrying because I was basically experimenting on such a big build. I am largely happy, but I can see a few bits that need fixing (ugly silvered decal etc.) I Shaka HI, Trak-Tor, MikeMaben and 5 others 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TorbenD Posted May 28, 2018 Share Posted May 28, 2018 Very nice weathering all over, especially along the wing fronts. Bravo! Torben Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grant_T Posted June 2, 2018 Author Share Posted June 2, 2018 Hmm, slight hiccup with the large roundel on the top of the wing so I'm waiting on a replacement decal (kindly supplied by a friend). I'n the meantime I've been doing some more weathering. Tolga ULGUR, BradG, LSP_Kevin and 2 others 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J.J. Posted June 2, 2018 Share Posted June 2, 2018 What a great and inspiring build! What colour did you use for chipping on the wings? Jens Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grant_T Posted June 2, 2018 Author Share Posted June 2, 2018 What a great and inspiring build! What colour did you use for chipping on the wings? Jens It is two layers, the first a mix Tamiya acrylic neutral grey and titanium I think, and the second some lighter grey. I was looking for something that would contrast with the camo colours and give an impression of dull worn metal. I'm not really keen on shiny metal chipping.

J.J. Posted June 2, 2018 Share Posted June 2, 2018 I like it - a lot! The metal does look dull, and like you I am not keen on shiny scratches.Did you apply the colours with a sponge? Jens Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grant_T Posted June 5, 2018 Author Share Posted June 5, 2018 Did you apply the colours with a sponge? Yeah, and then taken back a bit with a worn fine sanding sponge. Almost there: Shawn M, BradG, LSP_Kevin and 4 others 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
