dnl42 Posted January 18, 2019 Share Posted January 18, 2019 Nice work! Sorry I missed these! You're going well above and beyond on that cockpit and crew work! I paint all 1/144 glass black or silver... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hockeyboy76 Posted January 30, 2019 Author Share Posted January 30, 2019 And it was all going so well The Tamiya flat clear I used to Matt everything down and seal the decals has reacted with something & crinkled up. This is after some swipes with a fine sanding stick. Not sure how else to deal with it. I may try some Flory wash and go for a very dirty girl look, but as the surface is now smooth I’m not sure it will stick. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That will give them a freshly touched up look, and you could add a thin filter to darken them down if you feel that it is too stark a contrast. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have given your idea a try, it has improved in some areas, but other areas still show the crackle. I will let it dry and have a go with some weathering. I still have to come up with a suitable dynamic display worthy of the mighty Tomcat. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hockeyboy76 Posted February 3, 2019 Author Share Posted February 3, 2019 144 crew painted. Got to have a splash of orange And fitted into the cockpit And despite their size, surgery was still needed to fit them in. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
