binbrook87 Posted October 26, 2020 Share Posted October 26, 2020 Hello Folks! My first completed model for a while, and it took a lot more effort than I thought it would. Loads of flash on the mouldings which was really surprising, and fit of parts that needed a bit more work than I anticipated. Built completely OOB to portray a No. 3 Squadron airframe using the excellent decal sheet, which is worth the price of the kit alone! It contains markings for 4 RAF examples, plus Italian, Spanish, Luftwaffe and Austrian. I experimented with some pre shading to try and break up the monotone grey scheme plus a little panel wash to finish. Paints were Mr Hobby Aqueous... but instead of their own version of Barley/Camouflage Grey I used H325 (FS26440) which seemed like a better match. Not one of my best efforts but it will do. Comments much appreciated. Cheers 👍 And next to 1950s machines from No. 3 Squadron .... 40 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeh it's one of those aircraft that i should really have built before now. It's taken way too long to add to the collection. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SAT69 Posted October 26, 2020 Share Posted October 26, 2020 I certainly don't see anything to complain about with that model or the other two either. You do very nice work and you can be proud of all of it. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vultures1 Posted October 27, 2020 Share Posted October 27, 2020 That's a really nice Typhoon and you've captured some subtle variation in the finish - well done! Interesting that you used H325 for the Barley Grey - looks most effective 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Interesting that you used H325 for the Barley Grey - looks most effective Thanks very much for the compliments. Yeh i tried quite a few greys before settling on H325, it's a bit on the pale side i think and not perfect but seemed to match photos of actual 'Phoons better than the Barley greys from Gunze, Xtracrylix and Humbrol etc. But then photos and airframes vary too. I rarely seem to use the paints that I'm supposed to use! The 'scale effect' comes into play too i suppose? 🤔 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rumblestripe Posted October 28, 2020 Share Posted October 28, 2020 Lovely clean build. I rather like seeing a model that looks factory fresh. I have a slight doubt about the grey (and it might be the colour temperature of the lighting you have photographed under) but it looks too "warm" to me. the colour balance looks good with the radome matching correctly so it could be just the photograph. I appreciate at this time of year we are often photographing under artificial light which can cause this to happen. Great model as I said. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
