AgentG Posted April 19, 2016 Share Posted April 19, 2016 As always I will be building an obscure subject, certain to elicit conversation. I chose Meng's FT 17 to replicate a build in one of my many series of builds. I'll let you all guess where this is going. Primer stage. This is one sweet little kit. I have detailed the hull interior, I just didn't photograph anything until now. I don't know why. G 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AgentG Posted April 26, 2016 Author Share Posted April 26, 2016 Got through the work week and did some painting. A bit of pre shading with Tamiya Dark Green. A 50/50 mix of XF 73 and XF 4 Got me here. More to come. G 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jb65rams Posted April 27, 2016 Share Posted April 27, 2016 Nice progress. I have this in my stash so will follow the build with interest. What primer did you use? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AgentG Posted April 27, 2016 Author Share Posted April 27, 2016 Thank you gentlemen. Jb I used a locally sourced color from Rustoleum. It is from their "Camouflage" line of spray cans called "Army Green". They market several colors, Army Green, as seen here, Deep Forest Green, a good Olive Drab primer, Khaki, a nice tan, great for desert subjects, Earth Brown, very good for tracks and Flat Black. I discovered them by accident. My lovely wife brought a can each home one time. Wonderful woman she is, she's always thinking of my hobby.
