ZHOU Kun Posted August 30, 2020 Share Posted August 30, 2020 (edited) Finally finished. WIP thread here: The airplane is built OOB except for some small modification. The paint I used was Gunze Mr. Color, a solvent based color. Painting was done in four steps: 1) apply a layer of Mr. Surfacer 1500 primer; 2) making preshading with brownish black ; 3) basic painting, but with thinned paint so as not to fully cover the preshading; 4) weathering with Winsor Newton Oil color Here comes the reveal photos: Edited September 13, 2020 by ZHOU Kun 40 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZHOU Kun Posted August 30, 2020 Author Share Posted August 30, 2020 The first try went wrong as I post the completed photos in WIP zone by mistake, I am going to re-post it in RFI. Does anyone knows how to delete the original thread? Thanks! 23 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brigbeale Posted August 30, 2020 Share Posted August 30, 2020 Fantastic looking Tomcat. Stunning attention to detail. If it weren’t for the mounting rod, it could be mistaken the first pictures are photos of the real Tomcat. 👏👏👏 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

_alfisti_ Posted August 30, 2020 Share Posted August 30, 2020 Outstanding Tomcat, the weathering looks absolutely realistic. I love your presentation, it´s something different to see a modell in the air with gears down. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lord Riot Posted August 30, 2020 Share Posted August 30, 2020 Best weathering I've ever seen. I thought the first few photos were real ones you used to copy until I noticed the stand. Incredible modelling. How did you achieve that paintwork effect? It looks so real. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
binbrook87 Posted August 30, 2020 Share Posted August 30, 2020 Absolutely incredible realism! I had to look twice at the 2nd and 3rd photos. Outstanding build, weathering and photography. 👍👍 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
noelh Posted August 30, 2020 Share Posted August 30, 2020 (edited) I've never seen the scuff marks from the swept wing replicated like that before and I'm a long standing Tomcat fan. The attention to detail is remarkable. Probably the best Tomcat I've seen. Edited August 30, 2020 by noelh 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I used Winsor Newton oil to do the final weathering. I dip small brush into thinned oil paint and dyed the panels of aircraft skin 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lenses with longer focal range help a lot. I used a Sony FE24-240mm lens and an A7R3 digital camera to take the final photos Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redcap Posted August 31, 2020 Share Posted August 31, 2020 One of if not (the) best low-vis finishes I have ever seen on an F-14 model in any scale. Superb work. Gary 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
