Desert Pink and Snow White! 1/72 B-24D Liberator


Recommended Posts

What a brilliant build.

 

My Kitsworld decals are somewhere in the post, as is a Hasegawa B-24D, so this kit of yours is quite inspirational .

 

That is a very interesting interpretation of the so-called "desert pink ". To me it looks very realistic.

 

Would you be able to outline how you created this colour? I have had several tries at it on other Ploesti attempts but always seem to get it too pink.,

Thanks Habu,

 

The pictures are much appreciated.

 

I never thought of that approach, that is, one layer over another. I have always tried to pre-mix a "pink ".

 

Like Luftwaffe colours, the quest of the right USAAF  "pink " has always resulted in me concluding that there is no single correct source from which all others must flow.

 

Looking at my copy of Roger Freeman's The Ploesti Raid: Through the Lense, I really do feel there are quite a few variations (the "green "ones aside).

 

It really looks - to me at least - very, very convincing.

 

Thank you again.

I got the idea from Ferrari. They prime their F1 cars with pink.
