kiwitrogg Posted January 28, 2017 Share Posted January 28, 2017 Now that's a superb build that'd definately stand out in a cabinet of camouflaged models ! Lovely ! Cheers Gaz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
busnproplinerfan Posted January 28, 2017 Share Posted January 28, 2017 Loud scheme, love it, never saw something like this so clean before. Not critisizing, but on my monitor I see a slight bleed trough of the red paint on the waist stars. Do you have a second set of decals you could put on there? Just saying because at a contest, you'd loose a point for that. One of those things you never know until you put the decals on. Aside from that, it's great.

canberraman Posted January 29, 2017 Share Posted January 29, 2017 A magnificent clean Neptune in colours that are very hard to get a nice bright finish on. You've nailed it, she's a beauty! Mark Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

corsaircorp Posted February 2, 2017 Share Posted February 2, 2017 Hello Mark, More than well done !! Congrats for the way you've coped with the white paint and then red orange !! I really like it. It'a pleasure and you show that USN can be different than dark sea blue and gray !! What will be the next one ?? Sincerely. Corsaircorp Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HansReggelsen Posted February 26, 2017 Share Posted February 26, 2017 Now that's one colourfull bird if ever I saw one! You've really transformed the good old Hasegawa kit into a piece of beauty! Cheers Hans J Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David H Posted February 26, 2017 Share Posted February 26, 2017 Beautifully done model, and an imaginative choice of paint scheme. Brings back nostalgic memories of my early teens and my excitement about all of those exotic, big, 72nd scale Hasegawa subjects, including the Orion, Emily, and Marlin. And like those others, you seldom see them built up which is too bad.... david Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WildeSau75 Posted February 26, 2017 Share Posted February 26, 2017 Very nice bird - like the colorful scheme. Cheers, Michael Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can only manage finishes like that using Tamiya rattle cans Hey Wally: The craft paint is usually found in art or craft stores and are acrylic. There is a large range of colors and brands to choose from and they mix well with others. Very thin light coats sprayed at a higher PSI works best for me. Give them a try as the cost is very reasonable. Mark Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sarcococca Posted March 5, 2017 Share Posted March 5, 2017 It is not so easy to paint this sort of paint sheme. Above all in combination with white colour. You have achieved a wonderful appearnce. I like it a lot. Dirk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Meatbox8 Posted March 5, 2017 Share Posted March 5, 2017 That's a beautiful looking Neptune and a great paint finish. I've always thought this aircraft just looks 'right', if you know what I mean. I reckon you could spend a lifetime building Neptunes due to all the different and interesting schemes it wore during its long career. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kapam Posted March 6, 2017 Share Posted March 6, 2017 Wow! Awesome build and colour scheme on that Neptune. What can I say, but "congratulations!". Excellent work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
