    I know it's not British

    OK here we go.

    After a quick check over to make shore all the seams look right and all the panel lines are re scribed, rivets replaced It's time for the panel lines to be pre shaded.

    Fairly straight forward, I use flat black and follow all the major panel lines on the model and lighter airbrushing for riveted areas. the heavier the black the harder it will be to cover the the following coats. Don't worry about Being neet the ruffer the better as it fads in and out better.

    I then spayed the fiberglass areas green as found on Russian types, masked off and the a coat of Allclad for the nose ring and exhaust, masked off again and it's ready for the pale blue/gray underside colour.

    I had every intention to do the blue/gray underside today but seeing as I use acrylic paints I have jet to find Russian colours. So I spent the rest of the day remixing new colours out of Tamiya.

    So tomorrow I should have the paint work finished.

    So come back for tomorrows exciting installment

    But I thought I would show you how I spray and weather my models :suicide:

    I just know I'm going to regret this :suicide:

    This is the second time of doing this aircraft as the first was destroyed (full story is on the ARC http://www.arcforums.com/forums/air/index....p;#entry1024465 :crying:

    After A good Look and a bit of a rub down, I have given a new coat of primer ready for spraying tomorrow. So this is how it look now.

    I will post as I go along. :whip:

    For a beginner washing panel lines, I'd suggest watercolor paints... they're very forgiving, in that you can just wash off the evidence if you screw up ;) Very much akin to Phil's "Organic" mixture of clay & pixie dust in that respect :lol:

    Ho shoot you have found out my secret ingredient of pixie dust :elephant:

    Super photography, masterfully done Neil.

    I'm jealous the way you guys do your weathering, any hints and tips for a newb like me? :D

    Same as Neil But I have a sludge swash which is clay based.

    As soon as I sort out the cananopie on a MiG I'll do a "How TO" for the site :winkgrin:

    I think you have answered your own question '' (everyone does Black & Red Arrows jets)'' no one want to be the one who gets it wrong :analintruder::analintruder:

    I have it in a book with a 234sqn hawk. The line runs horizontal with the wings looks like a perfectly straight line.

    Sorry scanners on the blink.
