graham121 Posted April 27, 2014 Share Posted April 27, 2014 Kit – Kinetic 1/48 F-16D using kit decals, as per the contents of the box with just the addition of some Eduard P/E Seat belts. The Scorpions on the tail were masked and painted to ensure they were the same colour sand and the rest of the uppers – the kit decals were not the right colour. Camouflage work was completed with Gunze H313 Yellow FS33531 for the sand, Gunze H66 RLM79 for the brown and Tamiya XF-76 IJN Grey Green for the pale green and Gunze H308 Grey FS36375 for the lower surfaces. The Canopy received a very light green tint. Weathering was achieved using Flory Model and Citadel washes and Tamiya pigments along with India ink washes. Tamiya XF-86 Flat Clear was used to keep the whole lot sealed in. Unfortunately the canopy has developed some stress cracks - I managed to make them not visible in most shots...any one got a spare 1/48 2 seat F-16 canopy??Thanks for looking. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

graham121 Posted April 27, 2014 Author Share Posted April 27, 2014 (edited) Looks good how did you mask the scorpion? The scorpion mask was cut onto frisket film using a Brother Scan'n'cut http://brother.com.au/products/scanncut/cm550dx-detail ( the machine is actually my wife's ). Great! Esp for the scorpion! About canopy:try to wash it in "future plege shine" it should be helps! I wish it was as easy as a fix in Future, but alas I have already tried that and the stress cracks are still visible. Thanks for the comments. Edited April 27, 2014 by graham121 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
