AliGauld Posted March 15 Author Share Posted March 15 The heavens have opened again but I managed to get the post-shading done on the Neutral Grey. Once that's all settled properly I'll get her masked up for some Olive Drab. Thanks for looking, Cheers, Alistair 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AliGauld Posted March 15 Author Share Posted March 15 Masked up and a couple of misty coats of a lightened Olive Drab. It was lightened with some Lemon Yellow. The variation shows up a lot more in flash photography than in natural light but i'm not too worried about that. The next step will be some post shading with the same OD mix plus some Buff to fade it further. This will be thinned with about 80% thinner as was done on the Neutral Grey undersides. After that I'll get her unmasked and see how it looks. Thanks for looking, Cheers, Alistair 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Simon. Thanks Simon, It's finally stopped here and the sun is out,, thankfully. I won't need to run back and forward with bits in boxes to get some paint down.

Great job Chris Thanks Chris. A little more was done. The post shading of the OD was completed. And as I was using Rapid Thinner there was an unmasking. All fitted together. Right, that will need to settle properly and then a clear coat and sticker time. Thanks for looking, Cheers, Alistair 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AliGauld Posted March 22 Author Share Posted March 22 I decided to make a start on the engines and cowlings. I'll try and get them together tonight and then the outside camouflage can be painted tomorrow. Thanks for looking, Cheers, Alistair 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then figured a dry fit of the cowlings would be sensible. I should manage to get them coloured in tomorrow and then once they are glued in place I'll get a clear coat down for some stickers.

AliGauld Posted March 23 Author Share Posted March 23 As the clear stuff was getting flung about this morning this one got the treatment too. And then some stickers. These will need a fair bit of softener to get the tail plane ones around the lumps and bumps. Thanks for looking, Cheers, Alistair 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
