Mycapt65 Posted August 9, 2022 Author Share Posted August 9, 2022 (edited) Today I did a little detail painting and weathering. Getting down to the nitty gritty. I got a pile of small parts and a plane on its belly. Soon to put on its feet. Edited August 10, 2022 by Mycapt65 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mark.au Posted August 9, 2022 Share Posted August 9, 2022 Nice work! The accordion thing is a canvas cover to protect the tail wheel oleo. Paint as dirty/dusty canvas. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mycapt65 Posted September 12, 2022 Author Share Posted September 12, 2022 Had a lot of distractions that stalled my simple palette cleanser build a few months ago. Yesterday and this morning I spent a little time on weathering and finding a concentric tail wheel. Feels good to be modeling again. I don't know why but the weathering gets lost in photos. It much more pronounced in person. Be well Ron 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Be well Ron I like the subtle weathering. After all it is a plane (the plane of the top scoring officer in the unit), not a jeep in rasputiza. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I didn't go nuts on the weathering for that reason but it's a little heavier than shows here and looks much better in person. I'm not into heavy weathering unless it's really warranted. Personally I think the current fashion trend of accentuating every panel line is unrealistic. I use different methods of weathering. Thanks for your compliment and input.

Mycapt65 Posted September 20, 2022 Author Share Posted September 20, 2022 I inadvertently transferred tube glue all over the upper starboard wing while gluing the landing gear. Too much work to fix. Time to find something else to butcher 😒 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
