Arrr DXM decals..... been there with the Digital set for this aircraft ...just thank your lucky starts it isn't the F-4!!! Thanks tricky, I always have trepidations about applying the clear coat. Many people are able to do it without a clear coat but I'm not that confident. I airbrush a 50-25-25 mix of Klear-Windsor& Newton retarder & distilled water at about 10 psi. Something I found out from other modellers. I do the same with my matt & satin finishes using Xtracrylics. I think even the really small speck/decals add interest to the model despite most of them looking pointless! 🤣 I've also got that F-4 which I think your doing but in the same decals provided by Hasegawa. If I decide to do it I'll stick to the kit decals. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lightningboy2000 Posted July 22, 2022 Author Share Posted July 22, 2022 Completed all the final jobs on this today. Applied some enamel washes, oil & dark dirt to the underside rear, a very dark blue to the upper sides with a grey panel wash over the dark blue areas. After that my home made satin finish. The gloss black central fuel tank had a clear gloss coat applied to the primer then a coat of Ammo Mig satin black. the undercoat gloss gave it an excellent gloss finish. Here's just a couple before I put it in the gallery. Wolfpack update set with seamless intake, detailed resin undercarriage bays & resin exhaust set, also included a turned metal nose pitot. Pavla resin ACES 2 seats. Mr.Color JASDF Oceanic Camouflage colour set. Ammo Mig paints all other parts. Ammo Mig enamel PLW colours. 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
