Simon G Posted July 17, 2012 Share Posted July 17, 2012 One of those models started years ago and left part built waiting for the inspiration to complete. It's the Revell kit with after market decals (I lost the kit ones!), goes together well enough and has enough detail for 1/48. I plucked up the courage to attempt the 'squiggle' colour scheme which was applied free hand with a fine line aibrush. Si. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smiffy Posted July 17, 2012 Share Posted July 17, 2012 That's a really impressive airbrush job. Kudos there. I've had one of these since it was first released, but that squiggle paintwork has always put me off starting it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

woody37 Posted July 17, 2012 Share Posted July 17, 2012 Wow, that's a lovely paint scheme. As well as the amazing freehand squiggles, love the rust effect on the exhausts too Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
galgos Posted July 18, 2012 Share Posted July 18, 2012 I've build 3 of these kits, one with the Cutting Edge nacelles and spinners, another with the Verlinden flaps and leading edge slats; I'm obviously a fan but they do benefit from after-market turned brass antennae. Yours is an excellent build and as mentioned above, your squiggle finish is simply stunning!!! Many congratulations. Max Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

theclay Posted July 18, 2012 Share Posted July 18, 2012 nice 110. the camp looks excellent. how did you get the exhaust stains so subtle? i can never get them right on anything. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Simon G Posted July 19, 2012 Author Share Posted July 19, 2012 nice 110. the camp looks excellent. how did you get the exhaust stains so subtle? i can never get them right on anything. Thank you all for your kind comments. Exhaust staining was first applied with some thinned Tamiya smoke spayed onback across the wings, heavily thinned using multiple layers to build up the tone, then pastel dust was applied with a brush to deepen the centre of each stained area After market antennae woud really help with this model buy I wanted to keep it out of the box rather than spend on extras.

Spad Posted July 21, 2012 Share Posted July 21, 2012 That's excellent - the squiggles are superb! Bet you're pleased you plucked up that courage now! Thanks for sharing particularly as I have a couple of these in the stash and been a little unsure of how they look shape-wise - no such concerns now that they can look briilliant. cheers Rick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
