Corsairfoxfouruncle Posted May 5, 2022 Share Posted May 5, 2022 I agree with Craig, nice work on the orange. Is that straight out of a bottle or a custom mix ? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tamiya X6 orange straight from the bottle with thinned to about 50% with Tamiya x20 thinners and very possibly a small amount of Hataka RLM 76 ( my undersurface colour) because I’m not very diligent at cleaning my airbrush between colours Edited May 5, 2022 by Marklo 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marklo Posted May 6, 2022 Author Share Posted May 6, 2022 (edited) Sand on and the orange bit I missed on the fin painted. Brown, green and black left( I’ll probably use a rattlecan for the latter) Edited May 6, 2022 by Marklo 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marklo Posted May 7, 2022 Author Share Posted May 7, 2022 Black on and all masking removed, not terrible but a bit of bleed that’ll need to be carefully retouched. Still pleased with it overall. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corsairfoxfouruncle Posted May 7, 2022 Share Posted May 7, 2022 Definitely turned out nice. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

arfa1983 Posted May 7, 2022 Share Posted May 7, 2022 Nice work on the orange panels Marklo, it's as shame about the bleed through. I use a cotton bud to burnish down masking tape. Also, another trick is to spray some clear which will seal the demarcation before doing second colour. This is going to look great when it's done though! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also Not the end of the world. I used a rattle can but really I should have been a bit more patient and airbrushed. But not to worry readily fixed. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marklo Posted May 14, 2022 Author Share Posted May 14, 2022 The carpet monster has taken the nose oleo so nothing else for it but to scratch a replacement, brass rod, tube and styrene sheet to the rescue. And we’re now sitting on our undercarriage. Decals and miscellaneous bits and pieces next and I think we’re done. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Corsairfoxfouruncle Posted May 14, 2022 Share Posted May 14, 2022 Sorry to hear the monster struck so late in your build, good save though. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marklo Posted May 15, 2022 Author Share Posted May 15, 2022 Can’t find the pitot tube either. So 1mm copper tube .5mm brass rod, a fairing from the spares box and some plastic card and we have a pitot tube, sigh. Which means….we’re done. Going to take the dog for a walk then take some photos for the gallery 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

modelling minion Posted May 15, 2022 Share Posted May 15, 2022 A great result Marklo, and very well done on another bit of scratch building. She looks great with the Hi-vis markings contrasting against the camo. The gallery pics look great, thanks for having taken part in the GB. 🇺🇦 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
