Iain Ogilvie Posted September 1, 2012 Share Posted September 1, 2012 (edited) Calling it done - need to get the build written up for Military in Scale now... May add a little more oily stuff underneath - but will sleep on it. Model is extensively weathered - albeit fairly subtly in places. Last one to show I have replaced the static wicks on the control surfaces... Iain Edited October 24, 2012 by Iain (32SIG) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AndyC Posted September 2, 2012 Share Posted September 2, 2012 Very nice Iain, looks a really good kit. Not nearly enough staining though! They had a 38 litre oil tank and most of it leaked out on a sortie - according to the A-1 Sandy website, Skyraider endurance was determined by how long the oil lasted, not the fuel! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Iain Ogilvie Posted September 2, 2012 Author Share Posted September 2, 2012 Going to add some more oil stains underneath later today - there are already a lot there - but have been using a new material (to me anyway) that I discovered in the Model Railway section of the model shop - Modelmates 'Oil Brown' Weathering liquid. Really like the effects it creates - but not showing up very much in the photos - so will make a lot darker (if you look carefully at the drop tank for instance you'll see some of the staining). Weathering is a very personal thing in modelling - I prefer the less is more approach and probably spend as much time looking at photos of the real thing trying to get a feel for how I think the model should look as I do picking up details!

tomprobert Posted September 2, 2012 Share Posted September 2, 2012 Beautifully done Iain, I like the restrained weathering to be honest, very nice indeed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Iain Ogilvie Posted September 2, 2012 Author Share Posted September 2, 2012 Many thanks for comments guys - really appreciated! Going to add a few more oil stains/drips to the underside this evening - don't want to overdo it though. Iain Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Viking Posted September 2, 2012 Share Posted September 2, 2012 Stunning! I agree totally with your restrained weathering. The Spad was often a grubby old bird but less is definately more. Cheers John Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
