alhenderson Posted September 26, 2022 Share Posted September 26, 2022 Nice! Did you do any pre shading or anything to get the different tones? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harry_the_Spider Posted September 26, 2022 Author Share Posted September 26, 2022 3 different greys plus two for the anti glare and the bit behind the wings, a panel wash and 2 pigment washes brushed on then wiped off. Gave it a once over with a dirty rag too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Biggles87 Posted September 27, 2022 Share Posted September 27, 2022 You’ve captured the ‘ blotchy ‘ appearance well. John. 🇺🇦 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harry_the_Spider Posted September 27, 2022 Author Share Posted September 27, 2022 Thanks. A happy accident! Using panel line wash on an unvarnished matt surface causes it to "bleed" and create blotches. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harry_the_Spider Posted September 29, 2022 Author Share Posted September 29, 2022 Had to tidy up my "mess" as we have visitors over the weekend and also I've had my staples out and am fit enough to go back to work. This is where it currently is and will probably stay for a while 😞 Still requires doors, weapons and pitots plus the decals that go on the canopy. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alhenderson Posted September 29, 2022 Share Posted September 29, 2022 She does look like a rather fine cat! The paint scheme is nicely subtly weathered. You must be in need of a stash refill after 3 builds in two weeks! 🤣 Al 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harry_the_Spider Posted September 30, 2022 Author Share Posted September 30, 2022 The Stash is still quite healthy/ridiculous 😉 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Harry_the_Spider Posted October 16, 2022 Author Share Posted October 16, 2022 Had a free afternoon so I spent it having a miserable time applying stencils to missiles. They just wouldn't behave. I'm using Revel decal softener as the local modal shop can't bet Microsol at the moment. Don't know if it was this or the decals, but they wouldn't conform or even adhere. A good portion of them chose to "wander off" too, but I managed to wrangle them back to roughly where they should be. Got a headache now! Still...it is a job out of the way. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
