mirageiv Posted May 27, 2017 Share Posted May 27, 2017 Beautiful! The difference in the camo colours looks spot on and it could easily pass for 1/48, super job! David. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Creepy Pete Posted June 11, 2017 Author Share Posted June 11, 2017 Thanks guys. Sadly I messed up the base a bit using the wrong kind of glue, and I never managed to finish the vehicle and figures, so for now it's just the model in the Gallery. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tim Moff Posted June 11, 2017 Share Posted June 11, 2017 On 4/17/2017 at 11:02 PM, Creepy Pete said: I got some good work done this weekend. First, I sprayed some black over the masked off canopy and the rear fuselage. Then I brushed some Future like product over the rear, and once this was dry, some Vallejo metal color aluminium. This was then masked off: I then painted the darker grey of the main paint scheme first, using Gunze paint, and masked this off using worms of white tack and some tape: After this, the lighter grey was added, and the masking removed: The glossy paint makes the contrast between the two colours a bit noticeable. Maybe I will try to blend them in a bit using a very thin coat of a mix of both shades. I'll give that some thought. But first, I'm going to paint the exhaust bits in various shades of metal. Im building a Lakenheath C Model in the F15 GB - can I ask what Gunze numbers you used? I have some Mr Paint, but will do some testers first to see what looks right.

Creepy Pete Posted June 11, 2017 Author Share Posted June 11, 2017 (edited) Well, not the ones that I used, as they are for the earlier Ghost scheme. All Lakenheath, and any other post ca. 1992 F-15A/B/C/D in the USAF wear the Mod Eagle scheme consisting of FS 36251 and 36176. You can see the difference between them in the pic below. I'm not sure if Gunze has good matches for these. I see Hasegawa suggests mixes in one of their later F-15 boxings for the Mod Eagle scheme. I once built one in these colours, using Xtracolor X132 for the 36251 and ModelMaster 2036 for the 36176. Edit, I see that MR Paint has these two colours, MRP 094 and 093. Do you have these two? I'd love to hear what you think of them. Edited June 11, 2017 by Creepy Pete french fries 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Col. Posted June 12, 2017 Share Posted June 12, 2017 Pity you were unable to finish the whole scene but the Eagle looks grand on its own Interesting to see the difference between the two schemes there. Something I wasn't aware of prior to seeing this photo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've used the latter and they look the part 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
