eng Posted May 17, 2016 Share Posted May 17, 2016 Can I ask what colour you used for the green/olive? I sprayed mine today and used a mix of Tamiya XF58 (olive green) +XF62 (olive drab) +XF52 (flat earth) it looked great at the time but I'm now wondering if it's too pale and too green. It's a tricky one because every different lighting condition makes it look different. I'm not going to reprint it as its a reasonable job and I was aiming for a worn and slightly faded finish. Very nice work on your build once again. Rgds, Eng 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Very nice work on your build once again. Rgds, Eng Thank you very much for your kind words. I used XF-62 for the green, and XF-2 for the white. It took me about 3 coats in some places for the white to soak up the green to the shade I wanted. I used nato black for the wheels, and medium & dark sea grey on the rotors. I'm looking forward to seeing your model finished, based on your others. Mark Nice one !…..one of my favourite schemes on the Junglie Great ! Thanks Tiger, me too.

eng Posted May 19, 2016 Share Posted May 19, 2016 Thanks Mark, It's always interesting to see how different folk interpret colours, my next build will definetly need to be a bit darker I think. I'd like to have a go at the same scheme as yours at some point, but I'm going to have a go at a Mk.3 first, probably as a dark sea grey Falklands bird.

RamboRamage Posted May 20, 2016 Share Posted May 20, 2016 Well worth the effort on the camo. It's turned out very well! Thanks for sharing. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have a corgi die cast one, I may buy 2 now that you've mentioned that. Well worth the effort on the camo. It's turned out very well! Thanks for sharing. Thanks Rambo, it's my pleasure. She's had a superb reception on whichever forum/thread/social media page I have put her on. I guess that's only a good thing, shame that all I see is the blood sweat and tears of trying to get that cammo as accurate as I could Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PattheCat Posted May 21, 2016 Share Posted May 21, 2016 (edited) 8 HOURS for masking! I get mad after 8 minutes at this. Worth it. Nice build. I'm no fan of flying fans but I definitely have to get the Har3. I think there should not be much to change to make a Belgian Mk 48.

Thank You, it has pride of place on my the top shelf of my display cabinet. I'd really like the HAR3 too, but to keep it as RAF. Maybe even convert one to RN airframe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mark4700 Posted June 22, 2016 Share Posted June 22, 2016 Very, very nice finish. One to be proud of. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
planecrazee Posted June 22, 2016 Share Posted June 22, 2016 Hey Mark Your Sea King is a cracking job - well done - and the camo is superb. I have this kit on my table at the moment and I'd really like to do the 'junglie' scheme as much justice as you have. If you have any advice on how you completed the paint job it would be greatly received. All the best Kris 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All the best Kris Sorry for the VERY late reply guys, I've literally just seen these comments for the first time. Thank you Mark, she is sitting in a sealed case alongside a 1/72 Sea Harrier FA.2, still looking great nearly a year on. Thank you very much, Kris. I scanned and enlarged the instruction manual to A3, and then cut the masking tape to match each stripe perfectly in size. I had to compensate for the dimensions of the air frame where it curves and bends however. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
