Javlin Posted February 24, 2020 Author Share #63 Posted February 24, 2020 I am using duraluminum by AlClad CD I already found a bumpy spot were the nose piece meets the fuse that I need to smooth out.I then like tonight hit it (silver) with an 800 grit scotch brite to smooth and level it off it actually made the seam along the spine disappear for the most telling the OD will hide it.I have had to paint a plane a few times to get it the way I like like my 1/32 P-47 this one is working pretty good thus far I wanted a matt worn look.

Landlubber Mike Posted February 27, 2020 Share #79 Posted February 27, 2020 Really looking nice - love the pin up 👍 I have the Tamiya P-47D kit and am inspired to get similar nose art. With the Future, did you apply it over the whole model or just where the decals went? Not sure if you are weathering or not, but in your experience, is it worth applying a gloss finish before using washes, etc.? I think I’ve seen folks use the Tamiya panel line washes and oil paints over a gloss finish, yet it seems to me that one could use the Vallejo washes right over a painted surface without a gloss finish. Don't mean to interrupt your build log with the question.

Mike I apply to the whole model lay the decals and then apply just to the decal area to seal them.As to weathering I sprayed parts of the fuse with the same color I used for the fabric pieces on the tail lightly here and there and then applied the pastels pretty strong on upper areas exposed to the sun knowing the future will wash out most of it.The tamiya panels wash I read actually says not to apply to enamels so a buffer of type needs to be applied so I went Future but then they say to clean with XF-20 thinner the same thing I clean my airbrush with?I tried it and I hit the duraluminum underneath not bad looks real but I think I am going back to alcohol.I use to make my own washes if enamel gloss water based/acrylic was used or if Future my preferred then an enamel wash.I am going to play with this Tamiya a bit more but I might revert to my old ways.

Javlin Posted February 27, 2020 Author Share #82 Posted February 27, 2020 Well I am laying down more future to the whole fuse today.I tried some Tamy Wash again down to the lacquer silver and stopped in one little spot again I am leaving it looks convincing but I want to control that effect.I can only figure the those areas did not have enough gloss and was eating the enamel's.I think also I am going to make a run with some burnt umber oils and thinner do not want any catastrophe's at this point of the build.So,I move on to the main gear and wheels I guess and some paint to the wings.The L/nacelle the rear engine mount was drilled for a tube that may hook up to Tamy electric motors then a set of Potentiometers one for each motor.If I feel so inclined to take this route then this puts a whole nother build into play a dio to which I found these today https://www.ebay.com/itm/AC-Models-32001-1-32-B-25-Mitchell-Crew/383418840904?_trkparms=aid%3D111001%26algo%3DREC.SEED%26ao%3D1%26asc%3D225086%26meid%3Dc9ddb42c2f0e4fc394f7c2b5a1eaf5e2%26pid%3D100675%26rk%3D2%26rkt%3D15%26mehot%3Dnone%26sd%3D383418841324%26itm%3D383418840904%26pmt%3D0%26noa%3D1%26pg%3D2380057&_trksid=p2380057.c100675.m4236&_trkparms=pageci%3A1573c3ed-599c-11ea-b52a-74dbd180a963|parentrq%3A883e4eea1700aadad8a1cf5cfff65036|iid%3A1 I don't know been a long build and aching to join a GB on another site just a 1/72 B-25 Airifx MKII Kevin hexnut, popeye the sailor, Canute and 8 others 11 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
