Graham Thanks Graham, glad that you like her. 9 hours ago, stevej60 said: Well first of all a stunning build Craig and that dayglo finish is on another level it really does look like an aircraft that's had a life in the sun. Cheers Steve, thats the look I was going for so I am very glad that think I got it right mate. 8 hours ago, JeffreyK said: Fantastic work! That's Revell aqua colour?? Wow, that's not half bad, is it? This plane (chase 1) is definitely high on my own to-build list, as most things associated with the X-15 program are. We just need a decent F-100 kit... Cheers, J Thanks Jeffrey, yes the aqua Color worked quite well, as did your decals for the ARDC and AFFTC, they were very nice to use.👍 41 minutes ago, eng said: Wow! Thats beautiful, what a stunning paint scheme, very eye-catching and I love the heat staining on the rear fuselage too. Eng Thanks Eng, I am very glad you like the scheme. 28 minutes ago, franky boy said: Great work Craig. You can’t beet a bit of NMF and orange. The Vallejo metallics look very good. James Cheers James, yes the combination of the dayglo and NMF proved too strong to ignore! I like Vallejo metallics as they are easy to use and clean up and give a good finish. 🇺🇦 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lightningboy2000 Posted July 11, 2022 Share Posted July 11, 2022 Just seen this! Craig, that is absolutely fantastic! Love the dayglo with the blue heat staining. That Revell Aqua Colour goes on well if I remember, once I found out what it took to thin the stuff without it clogging the airbrush. Excellent work.

Martin Thanks Martin, very kind of you to say so. The Aqua Colour is great stuff but it certainly can be prone to clogging the tip of the airbrush at times. 🇺🇦 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm sure I used self leveling thinners. Was a long time ago I last used it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thank you very much. 6 hours ago, Marcello Rosa said: a picture of the jar Just for you Marcello here's a picture of the pot of paint, possibly the most boring picture I have ever taken.😁 As I say in my build thread I put down a coat of white first (just like the USAF did) followed by yellow so that I could vary the dayglo and get the weathered look. 2 hours ago, sohoppy said: Wonderful job bringing to life an interesting subject. Thanks, very much appreciated. There are some very interesting schemes from Edwards and other test facilities which turn run of the mill aircraft into more interesting subjects. 🇺🇦 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
