Seamus Posted January 5, 2021 Share Posted January 5, 2021 Evening all, My first of the new year, and with it a change of theme. This is Trumpeter's F-100C Super Sabre, finished OOB with the exception of the decals which came from an Xtradecal sheet. I wasn't brave enough to go with the NMF finishes of the kit options, plus I think the SEA scheme looks great on just about everything, so I played it safe, although the heat staining around the tail presents it's own challenge, and one I'm not convinced I've pulled off as well as I had hoped... Finished using Hataka Orange Line for the camouflage and various shades of Alclad for the exhaust area. I've used Hataka's own matt varnish for the final coat for the first time, very impressed.

alex Posted January 5, 2021 Share Posted January 5, 2021 Nice one, painting looks superb, the heat marks on the metal part looks nice, on the camo they are difficoult to do. Not sure if I would have done it better. Bit a shame that trumpeter got the intake wrong. Alex 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
canberraman Posted January 5, 2021 Share Posted January 5, 2021 A delightful Hun. Beautiful finish and just enough weathering. Nice matt finish too. Mark 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
binbrook87 Posted January 5, 2021 Share Posted January 5, 2021 That looks awesome. I love the Hun and you've done a fine job there. The heat staining effect looks superb, and i don't think there's a right and a wrong way as actual photos show so many variations in the way that they weathered. 👍👍 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andy Dyck Posted January 5, 2021 Share Posted January 5, 2021 Really nice job. For my taste it looks better in SEA sceme than NMF. and Hataka orange line colours seem to be good stuff. Cheers Andy 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fox1_BE Posted January 5, 2021 Share Posted January 5, 2021 Great looking Hun, Shaun!! Lovely paintwork 👍👍 I am working on the older Italeri kit, hope I can make it look this good 🙂 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Learstang Posted January 5, 2021 Share Posted January 5, 2021 Beautiful Hun, and I couldn't agree more about the SEA camouflage. I need to get back to my F-100. I don't know how I'm going to tackle that tricky exhaust weathering - I may just do all the paint as being burned off in that area. I think you did a reasonable job representing the paint being partially burned off. Best Regards, Jason 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kentavros76 Posted January 7, 2021 Share Posted January 7, 2021 I like your work on the model very much. Especially the shades on the greens and brown of the upper camo surface. 👍 The heat stains on the brown might be a bit “clear” if you understand what I mean, but to be honest I wouldn’t manage half as good as you...😉 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
