    Hi all, I went along with finishing the paintwork. As anticipated in my last post, after a light wet sanding with 3000 grit, I coated the model with Tamiya clear to prepare it for the decals. Then decals were applied and I must say that the feared Tamiya decals, which were dated 1998, behaved quite well. After another light wet sanding with 6000 grit, I applied a final clear coat which purpose is to seal the decal edges to avoid that the following oil colors can seep underneath them. This is the result so far: By wet sanding I obtained quite smooth a finish and removed some roughness that was present in areas close to concave corners. The lower surfaces received the same treatment although this version doesn't display many decals on this side: Next, I will let the paint to cure for at least a day and then I will apply some oil colors to depict some fluid spillages and trails. Best regards, Dan

    That detail of the chain is impressive. It looks like the real thing. Dan

    The 'treatment' of the seams seems very successful. Dan

    The carbon fiber panels look perfectly laid down. Dan

    Good save, Javlin. Nice to see the airframe almost completed. Cheers, Dan

    A Ferrari Testa Rossa ❤️!! I will be following this, Dan

    Very nice model, Andrew! It was an unexpectedly quick build for such not trivial a model (you finished it within one post page 🙂). It turned out nevertheless very precisely assembled and nicely finished! Among many things, I like the cleanliness of the transparent parts and the way you rendered the scorched metal of the collector ring. Best regards, Dan PS. A 1/48 Fairey Gannet would be awesome.

    Hi all, thanks for the comments and the many 'like's which I appreciated. It is now the time for painting the upper surfaces. Since I would like to depict one the Coastal Command aircraft, I decided that I needed a uniform Extra Dark Sea Grey (EDSG) livery. Actually, the adjective 'uniform' might seem not very appropriate because these machine underwent a noticeable wear. In addition, the EDSG was applied in most cases on top of the grey-green RAF standard camouflage and in some pictures the underlaying camouflage can be seen through the EDSG layer. I decided to render this effect on the upper surfaces and I applied to this end initially a coat of Dark Sea Grey doped with some white parts and then a fake camouflage scheme with a darker grey along with some random mottling. After having wet sanded with a fine 1000 grit, this was what I obtained: Then I started to apply subsequent EDSG layers also doped with some white to replicate some fading of the paint. After few layers, I stopped at this stage: After that, I removed the extensive masking on the other surfaces. After having corrected same minor blemishes, I will coat everything with Tamiya Clear paint to prepare for the oil colors and decals. Thanks for following and best regards, Dan

    In practice, I worked my best to obtain the opposite effect that you obtained for your Porsche!

    Spectacular! I could hardly tell this is a model. Details and finish are awesome. One thing (among many) that I find incredible is that the paint reflects light like a real car, with smooth and regular reflections. I can well believe that this is the closest thing to owning a real cabrio Porsche Carrera. Congrats, Dan

    Hi gents, I started with spraying some colors. The lower surfaces had to be Sky color, hence I prepared a mix with Tamiya acrylics of 80% XF21 (Sky) and 20% XF2 (white) and sprayed first two diluted coats on them. Then, after a wet sanding with 1000 grit, I applied some mottles and strakes of pure XF21 and some preliminary Tamiya black panel liner along the main junctions: After that, I continued to spray the sky mix until I saturated enough the color but trying to keep some of the pre-shadow work visible. I think I am stopping here, also considering that the following clear coats will tend to reduce the difference between shades. The upper camouflage color will follow next. Thanks for following and best regards, Dan

    Nice work on those interiors. I always liked the lines of the Me-410. Looking forward to seeing how the build will proceed. Best regards, Dan

    I could almost smell the odor of a new car! Dan

    Hi, just a small update of my build. I assembled the main airframe parts together with no significant issues and the elegant lines of this aircraft eventually emerged. In preparation of painting, I coated everything with a light layer of Mr. Surfacer 1500. I started with painting the lower surfaces. In advance of the final RAF Sky color, to break its uniformity, I applied random mottles of white and dark gray: The actual Sky color will follow. Best regards, Dan

The Nautical Research Guild has published our world-renowned quarterly magazine, The Nautical Research Journal, since 1955. The pages of the Journal are full of articles by accomplished ship modelers who show you how they create those exquisite details on their models, and by maritime historians who show you the correct details to build. The Journal is available in both print and digital editions. Go to the NRG web site (www.thenrg.org) to download a complimentary digital copy of the Journal.
