stinger-d Posted February 15, 2016 Share Posted February 15, 2016 (edited) Another recent build, a swordfish. Again built straight from the box, although it spent two years on the shelf, half build with almost no hope to be ever finished until something made me approach it again. It is a 00b build, only added bomb racks from the eduard pe set. The are so tiny that I manged to break a couple of smaller ones while photographing it. I'm now so afraid to touch them that decided to leave them as they are. The lights are placed in wrong way, I understood that when looked at the pictures, so now the are in correct places. And I painted it in lighter colors than it was to be as the rigtht colors made it look unrealistically too dark. Lower wing were painted in lighter shades, but subsequent weathering made the differnece very subtle. The shadow from the upper wing on the pictures make them look absolutely similar Edited February 15, 2016 by stinger-d 36 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dogsbody Posted February 15, 2016 Share Posted February 15, 2016 That was the idea for counter-shading the lower wing, so it would match the upper wings colours when shaded. Chris Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
