Joss Posted August 1, 2018 Author Share Posted August 1, 2018 (edited) Thanks for the kind comments everyone! It is keeping me motivated to get this one finished! So I've painted the top OD coat done some lighting then a mist layer to tie it all back together. I've got abit of tidying up and neatening then on to id bands and invasion stripes! Thanks for looking Joss Edited August 1, 2018 by Joss 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a shame really I think the bubbletops looks really good in the OD. And as you say there are very few decals available for ones with OD and good nose art!

Im happy with the variation. I was abit worried as I usually to do two highlights but decided to do just one this time and I think its better.

RJ-WobblyHands Posted August 16, 2018 Share Posted August 16, 2018 That is a very nice paint job , good luck with the decals 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joss Posted August 17, 2018 Author Share Posted August 17, 2018 Not many decals on this one the invasion markings, compared to some of the us navy fighters (Eduard hellcat...). The invasion stripes have covered up most of the stencils. I think the tamiya ones arent great very thick compared to the other ones. The amdg ones are very nice then but tough. i like using them a lot! Anyway here are some pictures. The gloss kills alot of the tonal varitaion in the painting and makes it look dirty even more so around the the cowling, but it should come back with the matt varinsh. Let me know what you think! On wards to the weathering and then hopefully finished soon Joss 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's what I like about the group builds is that you see a wide range of planes being built.

Joss Posted September 19, 2018 Author Share Posted September 19, 2018 Little update, she wallowing at the moment I sprayed the Matt on and it frosted so I've reglossed which worked back to a satinish finish. but I can't bring myself to spray again in abit of a pickle about what to do so she's just sitting waiting...

Joss I know what you mean joss, I've had plenty of late in the build disasters alclad ll clear cote flat, goes on strait out of the bottle, its the most matt finish i know, but its enamel based, not a problem if its all done and dusted Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
