  1. Used Revel of Germany Aqua Color paints for first time on a He-111P from Hasagawa.

    Much less contrast than my usage of Testors RLM 71 and Gunze RLM 70.

    Compare completed Stuka to just painted Heinkel

  3. Greetings

    Just completed the Revell of Germany F-86 in German Markings.Eagle Strike decals ...very nice

    Very easy build except for the wing modifications. Shortening the wings was no issue ..I,m good at cutting. The resin wing caps included were too thin and needed building up on the bottom.

    Out of Box with wine sealing seat belts

  6. NMF is Alclad Airframe Aluminum over Alclad Gloss Black Primer. I also used some different shades on panels, Highly polished Aluminum,etc

    Airframe Aluminum was easier to mask over than Highly Polished Aluminum. Was able to use Tamiya tape no issues.

    Had to buff some panels with SNJ powder after some type of feed through that scared the Alclad.

    Worked OK

    I do love the SNJ powder ..

    Cheer Bill

  7. Looks even better. Did you mask the canopy with tape or buy a precut mask? Whose paints are you using?

     

    Thanks Guys

    The Canopy and lower clear parts are masked with Bare Metal foil hand cut on canopy,raised panels were very helpful. Monogram canopy was very clear.smiley20.gif

    I used Testor acrylics for RLM 65 and RLM 71, and I used Gunze for RLM 70.

    Waiting a few days for the Paints to cure before futuring.

    Thanks for Commentssmiley17.gif

    Bill

  8. Thanks for the comments Guys

    This is the Hobbycraft Kit.

    The paints were all Testors Acrylics thinned with Tamiya thinner. Final coating was Testors Spray "Lusterless" decanted and thinned with lacquer thinner before airbrushing.

    I made the intake covers,H.U.D. ,Seat straps.

    It does have a soft interior but with the hood down you really can't see anything.

    Thanks for the comments on the Bugaboos. That was some masking residue and I brushed it off.

    Thats all I added.

    Cheers

    Bill
