amblypygid Posted July 16, 2016 Author Share Posted July 16, 2016 OK, some more work done this week, white-washing and subduing, and we have this result As one can see, I tried to wear away the whitewash on the wing root where the pilot would climb in and out, but I'm not completely happy with my efforts. Nor am I happy with my exhaust stains (which I've avoided picturing). I also applied some washes to mute/vary the green, but more work needed on those too. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CliffB Posted July 16, 2016 Share Posted July 16, 2016 This is a challenging scheme Chris, but one that you seem to be mastering! Cliff 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sgt.Squarehead Posted July 16, 2016 Share Posted July 16, 2016 That is an awesome finish, especially considering it's brushed. 'Mapping' will break up the blank spot in the whitewash on the wing, wet the area you are working on and add a tiny dot or two of white acrylic paint, let it settle where it will (except in panel lines obviously). Repeat as neccessary. You can use some other colours both to break the effect up a bit and to simulate subtle scuff marks etc. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PlaStix Posted July 18, 2016 Share Posted July 18, 2016 I think that looks very good! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
amblypygid Posted July 18, 2016 Author Share Posted July 18, 2016 Thanks, guys. I'm pleasantly surprised at the outcome of the whitewash. Just a few fiddly bits to go on, plus the matt coat, and it'll be done. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TonyTiger66 Posted July 20, 2016 Share Posted July 20, 2016 I really like the winter camo. It looks right, this plane really looks very 'Soviet' now 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
amblypygid Posted July 20, 2016 Author Share Posted July 20, 2016 Thanks, Tony. Had an "oh, sugar" moment last night, when I realised I hadn't put the gear doors on, and then remembered that I'd thrown the box out with the plastic in, presumably with the doors still attached to the sprues.

amblypygid Posted July 22, 2016 Author Share Posted July 22, 2016 All is well - I was putting out the recycling when I discovered the box & sprues, with doors present and correct. They're now on the Kittyhawk where they belong! Getting closer... 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

amblypygid Posted July 23, 2016 Author Share Posted July 23, 2016 It's overstaying its welcome! I like to feel progression, so when I get to a stage where I can only do a few little bits at a time (or have to repeat parts), I start dreaming of other builds. I've got an Airfix Skyhawk at a similar stage, which doesn't help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
amblypygid Posted July 23, 2016 Author Share Posted July 23, 2016 OK, second matt coat applied this afternoon, and here it is. And while I was waiting for the varnish to dry, I built pretty much all of an Airfix 1/48 Hawker Fury I guess the done thing now in a GB is to post it to the gallery? 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Spadgent Posted July 24, 2016 Share Posted July 24, 2016 Wow. I got all of that in one night. excellent build and great camo. Brilliant work. Had to laugh when you said you threw the sprees out with the box. Sounds like something I would do. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
