popeye the sailor Posted March 19, 2020 Share #122 Posted March 19, 2020 chances are, if you were to paint the resin ones, the defect might disappear......it's just a flow mark. but the blades look good. the left one looks painted...the one in the middle is the resin one, so the one on the right must be the one you've sanded.

Javlin Posted March 20, 2020 Author Share #134 Posted March 20, 2020 Today has been decals,props and wash day.I made up a solution of burnt umber from a tube and thinner and started on the panel lines and just kept looking at the silver to bright/clean?So,I started with the tailplanes undersides liked the effect just enough lay down a coat wait about one minute or so and gently wipe witha smooth paper towel. The first pic shows the solution laid to the back of the bombbay door.Pic2 shows the whole side done.Pic3 shows the area behind the bomb bay untouched and Pic4 shows OD and decals all swapped down though subtle the decals are dirty now.I think when all done and in natural lighting it will all show.

Javlin Posted April 4, 2020 Author Share #143 Posted April 4, 2020 (edited) Thks for all the likes and comments fellas helps keep the mojo going at a slow part an area I am not the most familiar with "weathering".I don't want to over weather the crate but I am working layers on the wings.The right wing I would dust spray clear dust spray clear then I smothered it in the burnt umber sit a few and wipe.The L/wing has only been dusted thus far twice and the wings are not locked!The other thing it still a "Tail Dragger" after all that weight and two motors!!Not to worry I will fix that plan already developed.So I have not totally loafing off and found that the cowls were indeed a blue.

Javlin Posted April 5, 2020 Author Share #144 Posted April 5, 2020 The first pic is just showing slosh wash of burnt umber as you can see I stopped at the landing light subtle is what I want then I dusted top and bottom some more and the whole plane has gone flat.The second and third pic again wings are not locked but the glass masking finally came off I need to polish the inside of the upper turret for some over-spray no biggee though.I dirtied up the front cowls flat the props and need to do more chipping on the L/wing that's the fun part with the silver underneath the edge of the blade so lightly.I hope you gents like it Kevin Edwardkenway, marktiedens, Canute and 13 others 16 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

popeye the sailor Posted April 9, 2020 Share #150 Posted April 9, 2020 I think I know where Mark was going......we usually don't mix two projects together. what you might want to do is open a log with a paint and camo theme, and let others show what they've come up with. I myself haven't gotten too fancy with my planes, and I think it would be cool to see longenze and different types of camo. it's up to you lmagna, Edwardkenway, Old Collingwood and 2 others 5 Quote I yam wot I yam! finished builds: Billings Nordkap 476 / Billings Cux 87 / Billings Mary Ann / Billings AmericA - reissue Billings Regina - bashed into the Susan A / Andrea Gail 1:20 - semi scratch w/ Billing instructions M&M Fun Ship - semi scratch build / Gundalow - scratch build / Jeanne D'Arc - Heller Phylly C & Denny-Zen - the Lobsie twins - bashed & semi scratch dual build Billing T78 Norden in dry dock: Billing's Gothenborg 1:100 / Billing's Boulogne Etaples 1:20 Billing's Half Moon 1:40 - some scratch required Revell U.S.S.
