Jens Posted January 1, 2009 Share Posted January 1, 2009 Nice paintjob Honza! However, since you were building an RF-4EJ Kai the fin tip and wing tips are the wrong type for a plain RF-4E. Just FYI. Regards, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nev Posted January 3, 2009 Share Posted January 3, 2009 Absolutely beautiful work on the fading - just like those tatty ex-Luftwaffe birds Also, I can't see the nose from your pics, but the Luftwaffe RF-4Es had a more angular recon bit on the nose than everyone else's RF-4Es.

AnonymousFY21 Posted January 3, 2009 Share Posted January 3, 2009 Cheers Honza. You make it look easy, but I'm sure it's not. Guess it's time to get the a/b out and practice, practice, practice. really appreciate the time you put into doing that little demo . rich Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Honza K. Posted January 3, 2009 Author Share Posted January 3, 2009 (edited) really appreciate the time you put into doing that little demo .rich absolutely no problem, it was about 5 minutes . The shading is easy i thing, but as you wrote, practice, practice, practice... The most important in airbush is 1) pressure of air (for my iwata about 1Bar=1ATM) 2) thinning of colours (GSI-C about 1/3-1/4 for levelling thinner 3) practice, practice, practise..... Try it, and will see, than it´s easy Edited January 3, 2009 by Honza K. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seamus Posted January 3, 2009 Share Posted January 3, 2009 Looking superb as ever Honza I too would like to thank you for taking the time to post that tutorial. Post shading is an area I'm keen to improve upon, so I'm grateful to you for showing how it can be done (and apparently so easily ) Looking forward to seeing her progress Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
