If you have time, do you mind a quick rundown on how you did the metal tail section--sorry if I missed the WIP--nevertheless--great job--I echo those who were originally fooled into thinking this was the real thing--Best, Erwin Thanks Erwin, for the metal tail parts I just painted the area matt black, then brushed on Humbrol(s) enamels: chrome 191, followed with a few areas in silver 11, matt varnished, drew in the lines with pencil and then dry brushed some olive drab 66 to weather it. then a coat of Klear/Future to gloss it back up a bit.

At Sea Posted December 15, 2018 Share Posted December 15, 2018 Lovely. I'm reading Max Hastings' Vietnam right now and this has jumped right out of the book! The subject, the weathering, the look, all are spot on. Top work. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The paints used were: Humbrol Enamels: 91 dark green weathered with 155 Olive Drab dry brushed onto it, green 30 with 117 weathering, tan 118 with mid stone and grey 140 weathering, underside is light grey 166 and white weathering, most of the metal is chrome 191. All weathered with olive drab 66 and 155 to suggest leaks, dirt shadows etc. Hope this helps Russ 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks. Off to look for some 1/72 decals in this or similar. 6 hours ago, russ c said: I`m reading the same book too, very good so far, just finished the French bit. Cheers Russ Thanks @At Sea & Russ for the recommendation on this, as a member of the generation that lived through the later Vietnam war, I'd be keen to read this, I do like Hastings style & find him very readable.

Toryu Posted December 16, 2018 Share Posted December 16, 2018 On the first pic, I'd say it's the real thing! Phantastic result and a great setting (particularly the inverted landing... 😉) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
