F-104 nut Posted April 18, 2022 Author Share Posted April 18, 2022 (edited) Spent the day masking off the bottom color to spray the Olive Green. First Tamiya P-38 i built i used the MIG puddy mask. It was allot of work for me. So on this one i was trying to figure a better way on the next one. Tamiya provids in some of thier kits a 1/48 color guild. So i used a brand new blade to cut them off the paper. Then i laid the Tamiya Tape down . Laid the paper on top and traced the outline with a pen and cute it with #11 blade. Mask went on like a dream . I sprayed the Mr color RLM Olive Green . Once mask removed only had a few very small areas to touch up. Next gloss coat and decals F07580CF-295D-4915-B8F3-FA796829458F by b007scott, on Flickr 2C36E9C0-1E11-4FCA-B682-2C55515BB32C by b007scott, on Flickr BE575942-48EB-4C3B-9D90-42013E453E6E by b007scott, on Flickr 728FB307-4D5B-4EE2-9B89-722718DA68B7 by b007scott, on Flickr 4259D93B-85E6-4707-84D8-9C3BC0D1A1F6 by b007scott, on Flickr 443D0EBE-BC62-4E31-8CA1-D0405D81BA08 by b007scott, on Flickr CDCCE587-73F2-49D2-A78C-ECDD983F8725 by b007scott, on Flickr F0D12061-69A0-4CBA-A0CE-02B613C12386 by b007scott, on Flickr E797217F-65F7-4B1A-8BBB-2BCF8830964E by b007scott, on Flickr 588CA89E-1F9C-430F-9B49-F45E51E106A5 by b007scott, on Flickr 963632F2-F082-4B96-9F6C-0B18DB543062 by b007scott, on Flickr 26768E80-2CEF-4AE8-ABC1-DAADEEEB43ED by b007scott, on Flickr 24D02B18-A409-4500-AE62-9F8A21D58AAC by b007scott, on Flickr Brian Edited April 18, 2022 by F-104 nut 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jackson Duvalier Posted April 22, 2022 Share Posted April 22, 2022 Have you considered maybe taking up aeromodelling as a sort of a hobby? You seem to have something of a knack for it, and I know of several people who really enjoy building and collecting scale models, particularly aircraft. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
