Recommended Posts

Hi all

 

Because I haven't any motivation to pursuit my SIAI 260, I decided to start another kit

This time I choosed the Meteor NF Mk14 from Special Hobby

 

I already build au Special Hobby NF Meteor and kept a well remember. There are no reason that the NF 14 will diffirent

I started the build with the cockpit

The details for the scale are very impressive

It need only a good paint

The cockpit is in place in the fuselage
No difficulty at this point
I added a 8 grammes weight in the noise.

For the wing, I didn't encounter any major problem
You need to fill the engine nacelle, the exhaust and air intake
But nothing impossible to make

 

After the wing preparation, I can glue it to the fuselage

I sanded the front junction  and added a little spacer to the rear

I have a little filling to make between the intrado and the fuselage

Beautiful work - I really like your painting technique to make that black cockpit pop! Is that all dry-brushing for the highlights, or something else?

 

Cheers,

Bill

letting my SIA 260 in one side of my table, I painted the scheme of my Meteor

 

I need to repaint the upper grey zone at the place of  fuselage junction. The paint was some reactions at this place because junction is not see in the green zone

I would be interested to hear more on your pre-shading technique on this model.

The results you show are really pleasing to my eye 👍

 

I pre shadded all the meteor

After I painted the gray on the center panels, I spayed the grey for mitagate the pre shading. The grey sprayed at this time has a great dillution to control the fadding of the pre shadded
For the green, I sprayed a firs layer without the pre shadded.
After I pre shadded all panel lines and I sprayed another layer of the green with a great dillution
