Patrick Earing Posted January 1, 2016 Share Posted January 1, 2016 Amazing amount of work involved in the paint here-5 colors up top, and 4 down below and lots of clear to level everything. I put in lots of un-necessary resin... oh well. Looks great. Enjoy. Pat . 39 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Simon382 Posted January 1, 2016 Share Posted January 1, 2016 Dear Lord! That colour scheme is simply mind blowing. Stunning. If I may ask just how long did it take???? Where the masks home made? Just to say once more, AMAZING!!!! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Where the masks home made? Just to say once more, AMAZING!!!! Yea... that scheme took some effort. I worked on just paint for most of 6 weeks (not 40 hour weeks, but steady after work effort.) I used Model Master enamels and needed dry time. I cleared only at the end with Model Master gloss lacquer-many many coats and then wet sanded the whole thing with 600 grit to flatten it. The masks came from AN Models-digi camo #5. I used 5 packages (!!!!) to mask this thing. Have to say those masks are FANTASTIC-highly recommended. Stayed down (even on the hard curves) with little to no bleed through. It took three days (plus, because I missed a lot...) just to unmask it. Had to run my fingers over the paint to feel for masks, and still there would be some-they got found when I sanded... Final clear coat with Testors Dull Coat.

noelh Posted January 1, 2016 Share Posted January 1, 2016 I wonder what the alternative universe is like where the IAC could have and need TSR2's? Probably one where the biggest oil deposits in the world were discovered in the 1950s. I'd like to live in that universe. Nice job. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ronan71 Posted January 2, 2016 Share Posted January 2, 2016 Superb! I suppose a good back story would hinge on two events, the TSR2 not being cancelled and Ireland joining NATO after WWII. In that case it's possible that the IAC would have had a strike aircraft such as this one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
