mike romeo Posted May 29, 2021 Share Posted May 29, 2021 About 10 years ago now, I built an antique 1:72 Revell Ju 88C-6. This was partly a nostalgia build, and partly an exercise in adding a bit of detail. I also practised trying to get a mottle with a hairy stick. It was no masterpiece, but I was pleased with it and it's still sat in my display cabinet. Fast forward 10 years and I decided to build another Ju88C-6, but this time using AMT's kit. I wanted another crack at trying the mottle. I basically built it oob, then sprayed it Tamiya RLM76 from a rattle can and added the mottle using a new method. Here is the result, with a comparison pic with the classic build. Another step on the way to a decent mottle finish. Rgds Martin 40 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kapam Posted June 1, 2021 Share Posted June 1, 2021 Very nice - both of them! I have misgivings about (myself) having sufficient airbrushing talent to pull off a scheme like this, so your brushwork is great to see. Inspiring work! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The mottles are artist's pastel applied with a cut down brush on a matt surface (after decalling). They were then sealed with another light coat of matt varnish.
