MadMartin Posted June 16, 2017 Share Posted June 16, 2017 (edited) Hi guys! As a big Tomcat-Fan I couldn't leave the biggest model of my favourite plane as it was. Although I didn't get a "spotted cat" from JSI, the paint job was horrible. So I decided to repaint the big beast completely. Therefore I needed to mask the prints of the "Jolly Rogers"-Markings (no replacements in this big scale). Some areas needed a lot of sanding (engraved JSI-markings on the underside of the wings) and so on... But look for yourself! Hope you enjoy my pics! This model is BIG - a 1:18 car for size comparison filling and sanding the big JSI-markings on the undersides of the wings masking the printings some preshading Test-painting the wing with the airbrush (the colour is a mix of Gunze H315 and white, to match the JSI grey exactly) Masking, filling and sanding on the bottom Preshading the bottom some nose correction (the gab was really ugly) Hope you like it. Updates will follow! Edited June 16, 2017 by MadMartin 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

exdraken Posted June 16, 2017 Share Posted June 16, 2017 nice project! but a 1/18 scale car does not do a lot for size comparison to me.... you'd need to show it next to a 1/48 or 1/32 Tomcat Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
