Oliver Posted August 4, 2008 Share Posted August 4, 2008 Looking good, nice to see an early Lightning in 72nd. Though i do wish Academy would hurry up and scale down their 48th effot of the F. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wkennerley Posted August 6, 2008 Author Share Posted August 6, 2008 Nearly done, guess I won't try to do the wavy bit between the two colours by hand next time!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ratch Posted August 6, 2008 Share Posted August 6, 2008 Nearly done, guess I won't try to do the wavy bit between the two colours by hand next time!! I'd have thought that was exactly how to get the soft demarkation, and it looks fine - unless the camera angle is hiding something Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wkennerley Posted August 7, 2008 Author Share Posted August 7, 2008 I'd have thought that was exactly how to get the soft demarkation, and it looks fine - unless the camera angle is hiding something Well thats what I thought but I guess my airbrush is a bit old as it seems to have left a bit of overspray on the green above the demarcation line, can't really see it in the photo. Wayne I like your P-38...the pilot looks a bit pensive though.. Yep he is contemplating a life of flying around the living room at ceiling height Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CPNGROATS Posted August 9, 2008 Share Posted August 9, 2008 Yep he is contemplating a life of flying around the living room at ceiling height And here I thought it was a "fiber" problem.... :shithappens: The pro-wash looks good..!

Ratch Posted August 10, 2008 Share Posted August 10, 2008 The pro-wash looks good..! Yep, really highlights them rivets Seriously, looking good Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wkennerley Posted August 11, 2008 Author Share Posted August 11, 2008 Some more wash applied, think I didn't let the matt 'varnish' dry enough as it seems to have acquired a dark colour on the one engine nacelle - Oh well thats what learning is all about.

wkennerley Posted August 28, 2008 Author Share Posted August 28, 2008 (edited) Right finally finished, forgot to photograph it before hanging it so appologies for the poor pics. Wayne Added 30/08/08 Edited August 30, 2008 by wkennerley Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
turnerdad Posted August 28, 2008 Share Posted August 28, 2008 That's rather cool, love the scheme. I've got a drinks coaster with that box art which I use all the time, very evocative. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wkennerley Posted August 29, 2008 Author Share Posted August 29, 2008 Thanks for the comments guys, I know its not a great finish, I got a bit heavy handed with the promodeller wash on a matt paint finish, forgot to future it first. Anyway it was a learning experience and it doesn't look too bad in my eyes. Cheers Wayne Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
