Russmeister 101 Posted August 9, 2022 Share Posted August 9, 2022 Another day, another treasure from the archives... Another little gem from Airfix, that required very little in the way of hard work..... A very straightforward build that is a reasonable representation of the real airframe. Playing with the shutter speed, and a little post-processing to attempt to capture a 1950's vibe with faded colours.... Engine test - I think it turned out ok... ish 42 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thank you I did enjoy this one. I have a friend that built his kit at the same time as mine, as a buddy build. 1 minute ago, Wulfman said: Great work on the Sea Fury !

28ZComeback Posted August 9, 2022 Share Posted August 9, 2022 How did you get the subtle half-tone lines on the tail? Beautifully weathered without drawing attention to it! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

28ZComeback Posted August 9, 2022 Share Posted August 9, 2022 The light panel lines on the tail, give it a 3D look and slight shadow effect. I have not compared it to the 1:1 planes on the deck of a carrier but my impression is that it shows slight weathering and stresses of carrier landings. Any other modeler would have over-emphasized with dark tones; you however have added slight half tones darker than the base color. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(although, I have to admit that RN subjects are not my forté)... however, the great god Airfix deemed it to be so... so that's what I did 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
