rob85 Posted February 1, 2017 Share Posted February 1, 2017 Hi All, another finished. the kit is beautiful, unfortunaly i then went and built it so sorry about that! All tamiya paints brushed and weathered using different shades and pre and post shading mixed with pastels... hope you like her (oh and it should have two little r's on the landing gear but i lost the transfers) Untitled by robert mulvey, on Flickr Untitled by robert mulvey, on Flickr Untitled by robert mulvey, on Flickr Untitled by robert mulvey, on Flickr Untitled by robert mulvey, on Flickr Untitled by robert mulvey, on Flickr Untitled by robert mulvey, on Flickr Untitled by robert mulvey, on Flickr Untitled by robert mulvey, on Flickr cheers all!

keefr22 Posted February 2, 2017 Share Posted February 2, 2017 Nice 'cat Rob! I agree with all the others about the v.good weathering, but one very small nit - the landing gear looks rather clean - quick wash to tone down the legs & wheels maybe? Cracking job though!

grab Posted February 2, 2017 Share Posted February 2, 2017 Nice one! What colours did you used? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rob85 Posted February 2, 2017 Author Share Posted February 2, 2017 Cheers grab Undersides were HU 90, upper were a little more complex... base coats of tamiya dark grey and a personal mix of tamiya' Japanese OD cut with tamiya sky (roughly 4 parts OD to 1 part sky?) then all panels were lightened with random shapes and lines using a lighter version of this mix (about 50 50 split of dark grey/ sky or OD/sky) then a number of details were picked out including all panel lines using a darker shade (dark grey cut with a bit of black and the OD in its normal state if memory serves).... a good micromesh was then given to reduce brush marks... then she was give a couple of thinned coats of the base colour followed by another micromesh to bring the shading out.... HTH! Rob 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
