viperchief Posted July 6, 2017 Share Posted July 6, 2017 Hi all! Here is my recently completed Flitzer. A nice quick build, especially since I only added seatbelts! I used the kit decals and painted with Tamiya paints. This is my first attempt at black basing and spraying the mottled camo. I sprayed through my Badger Renegade airbrush and really like the results. Tried to get nice, scale-sized splotches. Thanks for looking! 21 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gorby Posted July 6, 2017 Share Posted July 6, 2017 Excellent job! I like the Luft 46 aircraft, so it's always to see them modelled. I think you have the mottling spot on. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kapam Posted July 7, 2017 Share Posted July 7, 2017 Very nice! I have a Badger Renegade too, so your excellent mottle work holds good promise from my point of view. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I did some experimenting and found that about a 3:1 thinner/paint ratio works well with 5 psi to the airbrush. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JOCKNEY Posted July 8, 2017 Share Posted July 8, 2017 You absolutely nailed it Did you add any nose weight, it looks like it wants to be a tail sitter ? cheers Pat 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I did fill the nose and area under the cockpit with split shot. Happy I got the right amount in! :-) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
