ErikT Posted May 24, 2022 Share Posted May 24, 2022 Still posting some of my older stuff that I finished last year. This one was a nice little Airfix kit, and it was a nice change of pace from the heavy ship kits I've been working on lately. With ships taking so long to complete, it was cathartic to finish one so quickly. I think this took me a weekend. It was my first time trying chipping with a coloured pencil, and I haven't quite go the hang of it yet. I'll get there eventually. And I completely forgot to add the exhaust and gunsmoke stains. I guess my wife is right when she tells me I'm not perfect... 25 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pete Robin Posted May 24, 2022 Share Posted May 24, 2022 Very nicely done. Interesting to see this in a different colour scheme to the usual dark earth/mid stone etc. and sharkmouth. Regards Pete Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
François Escudé Posted May 24, 2022 Share Posted May 24, 2022 Hi, very well done indeed !! your chipping is very fine, even, if I may, these planes in pearl harbor were pretty new , and well maintained, so no need to mark in excess exhaust and gun stains. Thus I really like your build, curtiss fighters are my favorite aircrafts family ..😁, it's fun to see that I just got my airfix kit few weeks ago ..😉. just two questions : what paint did you used ? , your OD looks quite good for the period same question about your color pencil, as your chipping with it is very fine . Regards , and bravo again Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
binbrook87 Posted May 24, 2022 Share Posted May 24, 2022 That's a cracker! For a single colour plain scheme you've really done a fine job of breaking up the monotony with your fading and shading, and the weathering is also superb. Very very nice indeed 👍👍 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ErikT Posted May 24, 2022 Author Share Posted May 24, 2022 Thanks for the replies! I finished it with Tamiya paints, mostly their Olive Drab overtop of a mottled white over the black primer to give the paint some distressed look. I weathered it with Abteilung oils. I can't remember the brand of the chipping pencil. I'll have to check when I get a chance. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
