Seriously fantastically detailed workmanship!

Hi,

Thanks a lot for kind comments!

Paint job update.

Kabuki "Stars" out and light 8000 sanding on the full disc

Blue Grey (Aeromaster acrylic)





Liquid mask before sprayed semi gloss black





Frisket mask for the side Stars



White (RLM 21 Aeromaster) spryed over the mask



Maketar star



Aeromaster Insigna blue without mask to avoid paint thickness



Quick 8000 sanding and the center of the Frisket mask is installed over the disk



Tamiya tape out again



Grey ZP primer



Then Semi Mat Alu from Alclad



First chipping step with Maskol



Zinc Chromate (Model Master Acryl)







And Maskol again





Aeromaster Blue Grey is finally applied on the plane







That's all.

Beautiful. Love this thread.

Great detail. Great step by step build documentation.

And here I am trying not to glue my fingers together.

ha ha ha, you and me both

Hi,

Thank you very much Mates.

Started to work on the Blue Grey.

First step with lightened Blue sprayed with 0.2 nozzle.
Light color is a mix of Blue Grey and Light Gull Grey from Aeromaster.





Surface is rubbed with a soft cloth for a smooth paint surface and to remove the Maskol





Then oils





Raw Umber W&N on the panel lines.
Then Sépia (Rembrandt), Titanium White, blue... between fuselage frames , worked with lighter fluid.



Same on stars





White tape will soon be put over the gun muzzles





I've also tried to represent the discoloration due to Avgas leaks on the fuselage sides



And few leaks and fluid traces




Paint of the canopy is done



Overviews of the progress







Voilà.

I've run out of words to describe just how 'kin awesome this is so many ideas to steal

Cracking build and thread so far....loving every minute of it!

Good evening,

Thanks for the kind comments and for following the WIP!

Weathering is still progressing.
It previous work patiently is refined until satisfaction... Not yet.







Start of the underwing:



More soon.
Pascal

I don't have words for this.......

Can you tell me, did you put on a gloss coat before applying the oils and the other weathering?

This is a definite masterclass build - many thanks for posting your skills here!

Hi,

Thank you
@peppie: yes, Micro Gloss and Micro Satin. Micro Flat will soon be applied.

Paint work is still progressing





... And decal job is starting:





The biggest are cut to avoid too much carrier film:







Decals will also be "weathered".

More soon.

Hi,


Quick masking step with Patafix and Grey loaded in the gun!.







Just the start, but still progressing

Pascal

Hi,



Small update on the Grey part.
Mask off and first Weathering steps







Just oils Gris de Payne + Ultramarine deep and Burnt Sienna.

Without Patafix:









Need to repair a "f#@~%" mistake.
Quickly done... maybe to quickly, so...
But still naked...







More soon.

Pascal
