Dunny Posted January 16, 2020 Share Posted January 16, 2020 Hi All, Completed about 6 months ago is my take on Airfix' lovely 1:72 Mitchell MkII, finished as EV@W of 180 Sqn, RAF Dunsfold 1943. Completed completely OOB other than Eduard masks and Tamiya tape seatbelts. Airbrushed using Tamiya Olive Drab and Neutral Grey - to my mind the OD is far too dark compared to other excellent renditions I have seen of this subject (but Tamiya wouldn't get it wrong, would they???). This was also my first real attempt at preshading and differential shading - it's probably a bit too obvious, but I was happy at the time! Kit and decals were both excellent - lead fishing weights were added to ensure she wasn't a tail-sitter. This is now my last 'legacy' RFI - I'm now going to progress to my first WIP - Eduard's new tool 1:48 Tempest Series 2. Wish me luck! 41 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nikola Topalov Posted January 17, 2020 Share Posted January 17, 2020 (edited) Hi Dunny, Great Mitchell! Well done! Inspiring, as I have one on the shelf with the US decals waiting. What is differential shading btw? Also, what was your ratio of OD to gray? I like the outcome and I am to start painting my P61 with OD scheme. Thanks in advance! Best, Nikola Edited January 17, 2020 by Nikola Topalov Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

By differential shading I meant adding a lighter colour to the OD to make a lighter version. I think it was a bit too much of a contrast, but the photos have been kind! The ratio was roughly 10:1, to answer your question. Hope this helps, R Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
