René Martínez Posted August 31, 2021 Author Share Posted August 31, 2021 Well I took my time yesterday to do some research and I saw a darker tone on the canopy frames of the aircraft I want to do, first I started giving a base color of white with a few drops of Tamiya XF-23 light blue, the mottling was made with (RAF) ocean gray and field gray, both Tamiya colors, I don't really mind getting the exact tone, because it is going to be al scribbled over in dark green. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
René Martínez Posted September 1, 2021 Author Share Posted September 1, 2021 After a long session of torture I can now proceed to apply a gloss coat. I had to hold my breath to maintain a steady line while doing a few passes to get full opacity, it's really far from perfect, but at a proper distance looks quite nice, we'll see how it looks like after some light weathering and decals. 11 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Crimea River Posted October 2, 2021 Share Posted October 2, 2021 Great job on that Rene. You've captured the scheme very well. I thought that the ladder should bend the other way but that's no biggie. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I noticed the wrong orientation of the ladder too late, sadly it's very difficult to fix without breaking too much of the structure, so I decided to leave it like that. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you have the top at the bottom or the front at the back or a mixture of both? Asking so I don't in time do the same thing Fantastic looking model even with that slight problem Gondor Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
