1/48 Airfix BAC TSR.2


Recommended Posts

I'm building a TSR 2 and love the different shades of white you've used and want to use the same effect on mine. How did you do this? Was it using different undercoat colours and lightly overspraying with white, or are they white mixed with other colours?

Thank you!

It is done very simply.

Used two colours only - white and off white (Gunze Mr. Color).

One type of panels was dyed white colour, another - off white colour.

Ok sounds simple enough, I'll go find an off-white (probably Vallejo Air)

What about the panel lines, is that a mix of preshading and postshading? Can I see some use of pigments too for "dirty" areas?

This is a seriously gorgeous build, very much inspiration for my own.

Yes, I used mix.

In the beginning I did preshading and after painting filled lines between panels Tamiya clear Smoke with vodka. :-)

It is possible to fill lines between panels dark grey enamel.

Lol very nice effect using the vodka, I'll remember that! I have some clear smoke in my paint collection, I'll try experimenting with it. You've been very helpful, thankyou!

Thanks for the kind words!
I am now 63 years old. I started building models at the age of 10.
But there were big breaks in creativity - military service, small children, and now the war ...

That is absolutely beautiful! I have been fortunate to get close the the TSR at Cosford for a photoshoot and your model captures every detail of the real thing perfectly! As has been said, thet shading is truly impressive and has certainly set a high benchmark!!

Your experience is brilliant hopefully one day I can achieve a model as good as yours. I hope you are keeping safe with the war going on and a pray that it ends without any more loss to life.

Hi Seversky,

I love what you did with this TSR2 model.  I have visited both surviving aircraft at Duxford and Cosford and you got it just right.

I wish you well and hope you stay safe.  Please let the invasion stop soon.
