2lefthands Posted January 20, 2021 Share Posted January 20, 2021 Dear Community I needed three kits for this model. The first one I assembled partially wrong (yes, I can read) and then the turpentine-bandai-devil showed up... The second one fell victim to a priming attempt with OneshotPrimer. Git really two left hands and little patience, but painting I like to do. No crew in the model at present and the stand is home made. Colors are from Tamiya and Gunze, chalk mixed with matte clearcoat from Lascaux for rust effects. Thanks for viewing Nicolas 45 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rwa66 Posted November 12, 2023 Share Posted November 12, 2023 A very good rendition of Red 5 I think? If I may ask, how did you recreate the dark scarring on the left wing; was this painted ? A great job, looks superb. Richard. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

2lefthands Posted November 13, 2023 Author Share Posted November 13, 2023 And be very! careful with white spirit on Bandai Kits, they tend to crumble if you use those chemicals for washes or oils... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rwa66 Posted November 14, 2023 Share Posted November 14, 2023 Thank you for your reply, your work looks very convincing when compared to photos of the "Hero" miniature. I am aware of the risks of using white spirit on Bandai plastic and have found that, in at least small amounts, Mig productions enamel thinner P705 to be better than most. The real damage seems to be when the thinners/white spirit seeps between highly stressed joints and attacks the bare plastic.
