Peter Marshall Posted March 29, 2013 Share Posted March 29, 2013 After the dissappointment with the harrier I started with a quick Oscar - typical Hasegawa nice details with simple construction. Started with the pit, you can't see a lot of it once it's in place though Then assembled the rest of the airframe, all goes together really simply. Then engine paints up nicely too Peter 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peter Marshall Posted March 30, 2013 Author Share Posted March 30, 2013 Today's work on the Oscar - first spraying the Aotake for the wheel wells and flaps Then masking off the canopy with Parafilm Masked off the wheel wells with blu-tack and the flaps with tape on with Alclad black primer Then rubbed back, then sprayed with Alclad Aluminium Over this sprayed some AK Interactive 'Worn Effects' randomly, followed by some IJA Green then rubbed back with a stiff moistened brush Then finally a coat of klear over it all to stabilize it all Peter 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peter Marshall Posted March 31, 2013 Author Share Posted March 31, 2013 Well today would have been the decals, but the decals didn't want to behave, not wanting to release from the backing, and cracking when they did release. Therefore it was out with the craft robo, and making masks. Lots of masking tape and the masks: The sprayed the red and white and unmasked. Finally sprayed the yellow ID striped and the black anti-glare panels Peter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mozzy19 Posted March 31, 2013 Share Posted March 31, 2013 Are you going to weather the markings? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peter Marshall Posted March 31, 2013 Author Share Posted March 31, 2013 yes, but only the wing ones, as the side Hinomaru and unit stripes didn't seem to get weathered. They just need a rub with some steel wool once it's all completely dried Peter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
