Alex Sidharta Posted January 26, 2016 Share Posted January 26, 2016 (edited) Hello, This is my 1/72 Hasegawa kit I built OOB for the local group-build themed Desert Storm. I used Gunze FS 36375 and FS 35237 for the camouflage and supplied decal for the marking. The kit is excellent and needed very little filler. Thanks for looking.

AjD Posted January 26, 2016 Share Posted January 26, 2016 That's very nice. The boot marks all over the wings are a particularly nice touch. How did you go about that? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mountain goat Posted January 26, 2016 Share Posted January 26, 2016 (edited) Excellent model and great choice of markings too! The grimy weathering on top of the wings looks very convincing. Jay Edited January 26, 2016 by Mountain goat Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Housesparrow Posted January 26, 2016 Share Posted January 26, 2016 (edited) I read that a few of these were destroyed in Afghanistan in a raid, making me wonder every time I see them, if a depicted airframe was lost. As I understood it, there aren't that many Harriers in the US arsenal. Edited January 26, 2016 by Housesparrow Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

xffw45343tg Posted January 26, 2016 Share Posted January 26, 2016 As I understood it, there aren't that many Harriers in the US arsenal. More than in the British one though. Alas. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alex Sidharta Posted January 27, 2016 Author Share Posted January 27, 2016 That's very nice. The boot marks all over the wings are a particularly nice touch. How did you go about that? Thanks...I used sponge dipped in oil paint to replicate the boot marks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shan Posted January 27, 2016 Share Posted January 27, 2016 Wow, thats really fantastic work for 1/72 scale. very well built and painted. very nicely weathered. did you use the salt technique. personally i find that some of the salt crystals could have been a bit too big. so what i ended up doing is pounding regular table salt to smally crystals and mixing it with salt from Mc Donalds (fine salt). gives that irregular size effect. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Great model you did, Shan...! No, I don't use salt-technique for weathering. Form my experiences, the effect I want can only be seen through camera lens and I can't see my result with my bare eyes. That's why now I use "standard" technique...: washing, and post weathering using oil paints and pastels. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
