Airfix 1/72 Harrier GR.3 update 02-08-2014 ###Finished###


Recommended Posts

Looks great - did you freehand the green with an airbrush or use some sort of mask? The pre/post shading has given a great 'worn' look! What 'Klear' did you sue - the new floor polish version? I did on mine, didn't seem so shiny as the Humbrol stuff I used on my Lucy GR7A. Loved the GR3!

Thanxs Tim and Jabba.

Tim I used some maskingtape with roles of blue tak and the Klear is still the old stuff. I still have a few bottles of those hiden away for the future. I do use the new klear as well, but I only use it now for dipping the clear parts at the moment.

Cheers,

Is Gunze now known as Mr Hobby? Do they come pre - thinned or are they acrylic - willing to have a go looking at Arnys finish!

Hi Tim, You are right Mr Colour is Gunze Sangyo paint. But there are two versions the waterbased one (Aquanous) and a solvent based one.

I Always use the waterbased version. They are easy to use and you only need to thin them just like tamiya paint.

That is about 20% thinner (in my case I Always use Tamiya thinner also with the Gunze that works realy great).

Another big plus for Gunze is that it hase a semi gloss finish, so you don't need to much Klear for a shiny surface for the decals.

Cheers,

Yes, that is the thinner for acrylic paint that I use.

I have also done some work on the model yesterday. The decals are now on and they are sealed with a coat of Klear. I don't have any pictures jet. hope to put on some tommorow.

Now I only have to put in some pannel lines and than a dull coat. And then it's just fitting al the bits and bobs for the finish.

I am still on track for the finish line

Cheers,
