spartacus2000 Posted October 20, 2019 Share Posted October 20, 2019 Hi Giorgio . Normally I am not attracted by the 1:72 scale, I read this post all at once because I really like the Eurofighter. Apart the upgrade work, I was shocked by the amount of work you had to do to make this model decent. I never imagined that a Revell model was so inaccurate, by comparison some short runs look like Tamiya. Congratulations for the work done so far, I await the end with interest 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks for the praise, much appreciated As far as the kit goes, it's my first Revell in a very long time, and probably my second overall. I think this particular kit suffers of a bad engineering but also shows that the moulds have probably worn out a lot. I have a Revell Tornado in my stash (which I also intend to do as an AMI airframe), I just hope it won't be that troublesome On 26/10/2019 at 03:17, Cookenbacher said: A lovely shade of grey indeed, it's looking great Giorgio. Thanks Cookie, glad you like her More shades of grey went on, see below. After a five days long exhibition and a hectic second part of the week, I finally managed to get to the bench today; I first did some masking for the U/C bays These were airbrushed with the same off-white I used for the intakes (Tamiya Flat White with the addition of a few drops of Tamiya Sky Grey). Same of course for the U/C bay doors interiors and for the intake lips Then a second round of masking for the canard leading edges, the intake lips front edges ... ... the fin frontal edge and the intake edges I also masked the radome and the wing pod tips; those are of a different color with respect to the other bits I masked. I then airbrushed a lighter version of the base coat (obtained by adding a few drops of Tamiya Flat White to the initial mix) on the first group of masked objects, while the radome and pod tips were airbrushed with Mission Models Light Gull Grey, thinned with water. After unmasking One of the intake lips needed touching up for the off white area, but apart from that the lighter grey looks about right to me. In fact, you can see it's different from the base coat only looking at it at certain angles, just like the real thing - happy with it And here's the aiframe So, how many shades of grey have we encountered so far? Primer, German Grey for pre-shading, base coat, lighter base coat for some edges, Light Gull Grey for the radome and pod tips ... and the off-white for the U/C and intake interiors. Oh, let's not forget the cockpit, a mix of Dark Gull Grey and Light Gull Grey . Seven shades, if I'm not mistaken. I think we're done with grey, minus the panel washes. Next I'm going to paint the metallic areas - more masking Prior to that, I'll spray another protective gloss coat, also to blend in the newly sprayed areas. That's it for tonight, all comments welcome Ciao Edited October 28, 2019 by giemme 14 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
