SoftScience Posted December 30, 2017 Share Posted December 30, 2017 (edited) My last (14th) completed model for 2017. This kit began life as an entry into the 2017 BF-109 group build on this site. I was underwhelmed with the kit when I began working on it, and set it aside. I picked it back up, shortly before the holidays, and by the end of the project I was really happy with how solidly engineered the kit is, and with its fine surface details. The build is very simple and more or less idiot-proof. I chose the white winter finish, as I wanted something I could do quickly. There was some user error with the theater bands (maybe its not so idiot proof?), which made things go a bit slower, but in the end it turned out fine. I had a lot of fun weathering this one. Painting was done largely with Tamiya. I began with Nato Black base coat, then a light coat of Light blue/white mix underneath. I then repeatedly applied fine, uneven misty coats of flat white to the topside. The gelb is a mix of flat yellow and orange. Weathering was done with artists oils, and a bit of dark brown pigment powders on the wheels. Edited December 30, 2017 by SoftScience 19 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
