BrunoD Posted October 16, 2022 Share Posted October 16, 2022 (edited) Hi, This is my last building. This is the brand new Eduard's Wildcat The surface detail is just awesome, and the fitting great. But in my opinion, the cockpit and the gear bay are over-engineered, especially the last one who is a tough part. I used Mr Hobby paints. Decals are from Eduard box and were "peel of" The weathering was made with AK weathering pencils (first time for me) Eventually a coat of satin VMS was applied C&C are welcome Edited October 16, 2022 by BrunoD 54 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Toryu Posted October 16, 2022 Share Posted October 16, 2022 Nicely done, and a very appealing presentation. I love this pilot putting on his gloves. The positioning of antenna mast and blue formation light on the spine needs to be reversed. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The printing colour are still deep after "peel of" 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hairy Stickler Posted October 17, 2022 Share Posted October 17, 2022 Super job! Thanks very much for sharing. How did you get on with the pencils? Weathering is something that I'm not very adventurous with (Flory wash and that's it). I'm interested to learn more about any "non-smelly" techniques.

Best regards Peter Those pencils are dry, and you've just to do some scratches where you want. After that you can fade the effect with a light wet paintbrush. If you're not satisfy with the result, you can completely remove it with a wet cloth and try again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

georgeusa Posted October 17, 2022 Share Posted October 17, 2022 You have captured the faded paint look of Pacific Wildcats. I am really impressed as how well, even and consistent it is without looking forced. It really looks like you painted the kit and then left it out in the summer sun for about a month to properly fade it. Well done. Thanks for sharing. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nanond Posted October 17, 2022 Share Posted October 17, 2022 Very well done. Like others have said, the faded blue-grey is very impressive. Nanond 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
