Jens Posted February 6, 2016 Share Posted February 6, 2016 Today I finished this Hasegawa 1/48 TA-4F Skyhawk. I used Xtracolor paint, Afterburner Decals and TwoMikes resin seats. I sprayed it freehand as usual. Now I have finished adversary TA-4s No. 13, 14, 15 and 16. ' Jens 42 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Navy Bird Posted February 7, 2016 Share Posted February 7, 2016 Very nice work, Jens! The dissimilar training schemes are so much more interesting than the standard service schemes. You've captured them well. And good job calling them "adversary" - so many use the term "aggressor" for the USN planes, but that is the name used by the USAF. Cheers, Bill 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jens Posted February 7, 2016 Author Share Posted February 7, 2016 Thanks guys. Gundylunch, that's right - you mentioned that in another thread. I haven't dug out the kits for that sheet yet but I have them ready in the basement. Perhaps I should use those decals in the future F-104 GB.

Marv Posted February 7, 2016 Share Posted February 7, 2016 Jens: Your work is simply fabulous. Would you mind telling us what airbrush and paints that you use? I'm sure many of us would be grateful for any information about how you get such fantastic finishes on your models. Regards, Marvin 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
russ c Posted February 9, 2016 Share Posted February 9, 2016 Very nice Two Seater there Jens, looks great, really nice foursome too 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jens Posted February 9, 2016 Author Share Posted February 9, 2016 Thank you very much. Marvin, I use an Iwata HP-C Plus. I used a Badger 175 Crescendo before that with similar results. Most of the time I used Xtracolor, but other enamels find their way to my airbrush too. It all depends on the colour, but I usually find Xtracolor to be the easiest to paint tight lines with.
