My first ever group build had fun doing it and have ended up with a nice little plane at the end of it
Ok finally got to the finish line with it
paint list and a few pics / problems
The plane went together well with out man issues
Started with a black Vallejo primer coat (yes i know painting a black plastic model with a black primmer caused a few issues lol)
Mixed up a 50/50 mix of Citadel Kantor blue and Vallejo black thinned it and airbrushed the entire model
Mixed up a 60/40 mix of Citadel Kantor blue and Vallejo black thinned it and airbrushed selected parts
Repeated again with a 70/ 30 mix again in selected parts
Canopy masked in places and painted with 60/40 thinned mix
Landing gear was painted in Tamiya Chrome silver along with the wheel ow off the effect (too many to remember or name)
The engines where again given a coat of Tamiya Chrome silver then to show the heat affects a number of browns and reds where used to sh
The tyres and seat where given a Vallejo black coat
The wheels / landing gear where masked off before the future coat(first time using future)
Finally the plane was given a coat of future floor wax
The panel lines/ rasied areas where marked with a .34 black fine liner pen to add depth
Decals then applied to the entire plane
The large red decal along the back of the plane caused a few issues but not much
Now the pics
The Canopy is not glued down yet to show off the dash board
