Honza K. Posted January 1, 2009 Posted January 1, 2009 Hi gents, becouse I can´t find my very old topic with RF-4EJ, must create this new topic. And what´s new on this old project? New camo-scheme. Now it´s HAF RF-4E. freehand camo by iwata HP-BH. Colors are mix of GSI-C. Next progress will be tomorow. Thanks for watching. Honza
Jens Posted January 1, 2009 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,

Nev Posted January 3, 2009 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.
Honza K. Posted January 3, 2009 Author Posted January 3, 2009 (edited) OK. a fast test on styrene sheet..... 1) The base green 2) base green + little bit of light grey C315 3) base green + little bit of black 4) done.... Edited January 3, 2009 by Honza K.

Thank you! you are right. I have several mistakes like theese on my model. I know about it, but this build is some as test my new iwata, and only for fun.
AnonymousFY21 Posted January 3, 2009 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
Honza K. Posted January 3, 2009 Author 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.
Seamus Posted January 3, 2009 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
scotthldr Posted January 3, 2009 Posted January 3, 2009 Absolutely stunning paintwork there. Like the Hellenic birds myself so will be keeping an eye on this one
eng Posted January 4, 2009 Posted January 4, 2009 Fantastic bit of painting! Can't wait to see the finished article. To echo whats already been said, thanks for the quick demo, I have to agree, you do make it look so effortless. Cheers, Eng
