busnproplinerfan Posted December 29, 2019 Share Posted December 29, 2019 The white is an interesting idea. Never thought of it, but gives that look the old photos have. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have the kit with Pavle cockpit to build one day. Hi, thx for commenting - Minor sanding of some flash on the sides and smooth the aft section that butts up to the forward landing gear bay - the ladder entry point doesn't align well with the hatch opening on the fuselage, it's about 3mm too far forward - I used filler to close the gap there and it turned out okay....it was a nice addition in my opinion... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hi, thx - yes - very thinned acrylic white -I mottled it with brush and used it about twice as heavy on the seams (scientifically speaking I coated the seams twice - the Hasegawa kit has raised panel lines) - anyway, it kinda looks like the start of oxidation... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nice Stratojet BTW Hi, - sorry, wasn't meaning to be vague - it was Alclad II Chrome lacquer for plastic - sprayed with an Iwata double action airbrush - it was sprayed onto Tamiya TS-14 gloss black applied straight from the rattle can. I prepped the unpainted plastic with triple grit sanding sticks till I had a high sheen (and still missed some blemishes over and over....) The Attempt at a new YP-38 I posted earlier is shown below - no white wash was used on this as it was intended to be straight off of the shop floor....same paint combo was used.... 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
