Wee Beastie Posted January 20, 2018 Share Posted January 20, 2018 All finished!Nice "little" build. Weathering finished off with AK Interactive pigments. Still getting the hang of them, but getting better.Mainly painted with Hataka Orange Line paints.

viperchief Posted January 20, 2018 Share Posted January 20, 2018 Looks great! How did the Hataka paints behave? What airbrush, pressure, thinner/paint ratio did you use? I have an RAF set that I plan on using so any info would be helpful! Thanks! Rich 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They do require some patience, and a bit more work than most paints, but the results are worth it. The set you have, is it Red Line (acrylic), or Orange Line (lacquer)? Red Line mix 60:40, in favour of thinner, plus some flow improver. Best to use their own acrylic thinner. Orange Line mix 50:50 with Hataka's lacquer thinners. There's no need to use flow improver here. My airbrush is a H&S Infinity, usually with a 0.4mm needle for most work. With both types of paints, I usually use about 15psi. The trick with Hataka is to build up the colour, with several light coats. This gives you flexibility to get the depth of colour you want. Hope this is of help. Any other questions on Hataka, feel free to ask. Cheers Ian 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, each panel separately. 8 hours ago, Valkyrie said: Even the glass seal is brilliant, great work The canopy seals are a decal set from Furball. Meant for the AMK kit, but with a sharp knife and some care, the look the part. Used a bit smoke pigment, just to tone them down a bit. Thank thank you all for the compliments. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mcdonnell Posted January 21, 2018 Share Posted January 21, 2018 Hello,Ian - Great work and beautifully finished.A ‘Big Beastie’ too!👏😉👍 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corsairfoxfouruncle Posted January 21, 2018 Share Posted January 21, 2018 Great job 👍 I normally refrain from saying to much with the later Mig’s. Not a true fan of most of them. However I really like this one, the paint & subtle weathering really sets this one off. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have the orange line and the Hataka thinners so I will give them a try! Thanks again! Rich 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Duncan B Posted January 21, 2018 Share Posted January 21, 2018 That is a very nicely finished Foxhound and shows that the Hobby Boss kit shouldn't be ignored. Duncan B 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
