Nanond Posted September 17, 2021 Share Posted September 17, 2021 A Hasegawa kit, no modification. It was when I wanted to test paint chipping by brush. The chipping was done using Tamiya enamel paint, applied using 0 size brush. Nanond 31 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HansReggelsen Posted September 17, 2021 Share Posted September 17, 2021 There has been three planes in history with a comparable name: Thunderbolt, Viggen and ... Raiden! All three are also remarkable large planes compared to their contemporaries. Your Raiden is one of the best I've seen! Cheers Hans J 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spitfire31 Posted September 17, 2021 Share Posted September 17, 2021 The modeller as an impressionist artist. That is the secret behind the art of successful weathering, isn't it – a pair of artist's eyes for IRL detail and painting skills to transfer the impression on to the canvas, er… the model. Just look at the combination of scuffed primer and worn-down-to metal patches. And the fuselage Hinomaru is just a piece of artwork in itself. Bravo!

kiseca Posted September 17, 2021 Share Posted September 17, 2021 You did all that with a brush? I'm blown away. Everything about that model just looks so good. The chipped and weathered paint, the exhaust staining - how subtle is that?... the finish which looks just the right level of matt, the crisp lines of the paintjob. That is indeed a work of art. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doccur Posted September 17, 2021 Share Posted September 17, 2021 This is hands down one of the most stunning and convincing pieces of modelling I’ve ever seen. Ash 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
russ c Posted September 17, 2021 Share Posted September 17, 2021 Excellent `Jack` there Nanond, great job with the chipping. Really nice work 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maginot Posted September 17, 2021 Share Posted September 17, 2021 That's a masterful rendering of the dodgy paint used on aircraft of Dainippon Teikoku Rikugun Kōkūbutai (yes, I WiKied it). I think you can declare your paint chipping by brush test an unqualified success. This motivates me to attempt a similar weathering technique. Cheers very much. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roberto Posted September 17, 2021 Share Posted September 17, 2021 Beautiful Raiden, I love it. The painting is stunning. Bravo. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vytautas Posted September 17, 2021 Share Posted September 17, 2021 I’ve noticed that the better a model is made, the longer you can look at it. I looked at your Raiden for a very long time and didn’t get bored. Fantastic paintwork! Vytautas 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vytautas Posted September 17, 2021 Share Posted September 17, 2021 I just looked at all the planes you made. I got very interested, and I tried to find at least one poorly made, and I did not found it. It seems to me that this is contrary to all laws of nature!

Cheers Hans J I've never looked at the Viggen this way, but they are indeed remarkable aircraft. Thanks for your appreciation! 9 hours ago, Spitfire31 said: The modeller as an impressionist artist.

Kind regards, Joachim Indeed the Hinimaru is my favourite part. I think I hit the sweet spot I like on the wings. I wasn't so satisfied with the fuselage, but I now appreciate the variations.

Thank you. I'm glad you looked in its details. As the person who made it, my eyes still spot the things I don't like. 9 hours ago, kiseca said: You did all that with a brush? I'm blown away.

Thank you, much appreciate. Some patches are larger than I planned because I kept expanding to cover the part I didn't like 6 hours ago, Maginot said: That's a masterful rendering of the dodgy paint used on aircraft of Dainippon Teikoku Rikugun Kōkūbutai (yes, I WiKied it).

I feel it is more forgiving now that I've done it than I first thought. * 2 hours ago, vytautas said: I just looked at all the planes you made.
