Ale85 Posted September 5, 2020 Share Posted September 5, 2020 It's one of my next projects! Can you tell me which colors you've used to paint your Cat? By the way, super nice work! ciao Ale Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SAT69 Posted September 5, 2020 Share Posted September 5, 2020 Now that's what I call a truly outstanding build. Nice to see the Hawks (don't recall what the Iranians call them) under the wings. I knew the real birds carried them but never seen them modeled before. They certainly do not detract from the model in any way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

By the way, super nice work! ciao Ale Hello, These are self-mixed artist airbrush acrylics by the brand of "Schmincke" from the "Aero Color Professional" line. These colours have an extremely fine pigment and the coat is also extremely thin (and sensitive). Base is a normal 1component automotive primer/filler (like the one from Alclad - but ten times cheaper) which is polished with micromesh. Canopy frames are based with MrPaint. White surfaces preferable also with Mr.Paint (their acrylics which are aceton based). The jet cans are based with Gunze metal colors (as the leading edges of the flying surfaces are), then layers of Schmincke are put on. Before decaling a very fine layer of "Future" needs to be applied as Schmincke colours are sensitive to decaling-softeners. Finish is a professional automotive 2 component flat varnish.

manuel Posted September 6, 2020 Share Posted September 6, 2020 Great model, with beautiful paint. From where have you got the hawks? First time I have seen in this scale. Best regards Manuel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ABeck Posted September 6, 2020 Author Share Posted September 6, 2020 Â They were part of a conversion package for Hasegawa kits to convert them into Iranian Tomcats. I purchased this conversion kit by Wolfpack from Lucky Models. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
