The Spadgent Posted October 13, 2019 Share Posted October 13, 2019 Sorry to hear about the drop Giorgio but you seem to have sorted it with the grace I have come to expect from your builds. She looks great in primer and pure shade. 🙌🙌 Johnny. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

She looks great in primer and pure shade. 🙌🙌 Johnny. Thanks Johnny, much appreciated Time for some real paint, as I said: so I mixed Tamiya XF19 Sky Grey with Tamiya Flat White (for scale effect), heavily thinned with cellulose thinner, and there she is Pre-shading barely showing through, which is what I wanted the underside I also sprayed this lot A detail of the drop tanks, that were also pre-shaded Upon close inspection, I noticed a couple of gaps I didn't spot after the primer coat, like these Promptly repaired with some brushed on PPP, then the excess was removed with a wet microfiber towel and resprayed PPP is just excellent for this kind of stuff. Despite of what may seem from the pics, I was a bit worried that the grey coat would be a tad on the dark side, especially after a gloss coat; so I tested an Aqua Gloss coat on the rudder and compared to the aircraft Not much of a difference, if any. Happy with that I'll leave it cure completely and spray a first protective gloss coat in the next few days. That's it for the day, comments welcome Ciao Edited October 14, 2019 by giemme 17 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've got an as yet unused bottle and dunno what to do with it!! Keith I don't either shake or stir it before spraying it, Keith. Just pour into the airbrush cup and spray away, and if there's any leftover I pour it back into its bottle. I tend to spray it at 1 bar or slightly less, and it sprays smoothly and without build ups, unless you really really insist on a single spot - very forgiving. I also apply it by brush for small details or for transparencies touch ups - it self levels just as effectively as when airbrushed. And of course, I also use it as dipping bath for canopies; it fills in small scratches in a very effective way.

Kind regards, Stix Thanks Stix, much appreciated Quick update, everybody: I sprayed a light Aqua Gloss coat on the model as a protection for the next painting steps I will be attending (actually exhibiting) to a very important show (business, not modelling related) over the next five days, so no updates till later next week. But I'll keep an eye on you guys Ciao 12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
