Basuroy Posted May 8, 2017 Share Posted May 8, 2017 Hi folks , I present the 72nd scale draken kit finished out of box as a Swedish machine . It goes together without any problem and while the kit is on the cheaper side , a downside is it doesn't includes any weapons ; the missiles are from a hasegawa weapon set .

I will jot down the steps I took to paint/weather the model- 1. Laid down the base colours - I freehanded the upper surface camo . 2. I mixed lighter shades of the upper camo and then sprayed a thin mix inside the panels - the contrast is subtle . 3. Panel line wash using dark sepia oil . 4. I post shades some panels with a thin mix of hull red - nato black . I kept the weathering light because of the yellow swordfish as a heavily weathered airplane will look odd with such bright decals . If I were to paint a model without those particular fish on wings , I will increase the contrast between the base paint and the lighter shade of the base paint post shaded inside the panel .

Horatio Gruntfuttock Posted May 10, 2017 Share Posted May 10, 2017 THat looks just splendid. One of the best builds of my favourite Swede I have seen - something for me to aim for, although my current build is the Heller version - a much simpler and cruder kit! Well done! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vinnie Posted May 11, 2017 Share Posted May 11, 2017 I don't often comment or even view modern builds, but I have to to say that is beautifully finished. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
