Popular Post Greg B Posted October 9, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted October 9, 2022 Phlipping Phantom Phinally Phinished!!! Tamiya Kit Aftermarket: Eduard Wheels Eduard Space RBF tags Quinta Belts Paints - SMS and Alclad for the metals over a Alclad mix of 70% grey and 30% black microprimer (less cover up than a straight black). Touch up paint patches with darker and lighter iterations of the base mixes sprayed through a stencil. Weathering - Abteilung oils and lighter fluid over a Mr Hobby gloss coat (thinned 3:1 levelling thinners to gloss with extra retarder added) Matt - Alclad Klear Kote Flat thinned with lacquer/cellulose thinners (really pleased with how well this stuff goes on and how flat it is) Decals: Impact 1:48 VMF(AW)-531/VMFA-531 Grey Ghosts Part . Very thin, had a habit of breaking and the original tail markings wrinkled under the gloss coat made a set of masks with a silhouette cutter and 3 attempts later still not right (the small stars are about as fine as you can get and tricky to not get bleed under) Furball Aero Design 48-077 USMC Phantoms came to the rescue. Different airframe but same markings First time trying focus stacking in Photoshop. Build Log is here 94 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Winded Penguin Posted October 10, 2022 Share Posted October 10, 2022 Really interesting to take on board the realism you've achieved. And thanks for sharing more about your process, paints, AM parts etc. When I look at the weathering and overall look, I'm thinking "that's where I want to be" (once I'm hopefully good enough to show the 'process' who's boss)👍 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
