I wouldn't expect mirror finishes on operational jets, unless they were going to an airshow and they'd buff up everything. Thank God for camouflage paint jobs; no shining that stuff up, unless you're the Thunderbirds/Blue Angels and similar demo teams. Yeah, the frequent updates here in this sub-forum are crowding out the actual ship builds. You can't follow these builds on the front page. I'm OK with that. The techniques discussed here are applicable to most modeling disciplines working with styrene and other materials. Model on! Thanks Ken, it's a different process for sure, but it can't be beaten in producing a polished or natural metal surface... I've had the occasion to walk near BMF airplanes quite a bit (brother in law in the AF for 20 prior to 911) no they are not mirrors but you can tell when someone is walking up behind you from the color reflection changes in the surface..... (and whether they are in uniform or not) From a distance they don't look all that polished, but up close it's a different experience that most photos just don't show.... There are some very nice painted aircraft, but nothing compares to standing next to a piece of jewelry that can move faster than a bullet..... I understand they need to keep the focus on their main content and it's fine with me..... I'll get there eventually with a couple of ship builds but for now, I like the little corner we are in and appreciate the space to ply our brand of modeling.... My problem is when I do build a ship, having to put it in one of the other sections, you know, the road less traveled so to speak, kinda getting used to the place here.... (but it's a road I do have to go down) Model On!

Egilman Posted June 20, 2020 Author Share #275 Posted June 20, 2020 Intakes mounted..... wanted to get a few shots in before I turn it all shiny black.... Personally I think they look the part... Starboard side... That crinkly look above the shock cone is actually in the plastic the kit is molded in... you can actually see how the plastic flowed through the mold..... Anyway, I think they look the part... Port side... I definitely want to mask them suckas off before I do anything else... they sure look the part...

Well I plan on being around long enough to finish the Bandit as long as the man above agrees... It might be a few days yet for the eye protection. She is currently in grey primer, (drying) and shows some serious work still needing to be done to smooth everything out before I can put the base coat on.... I suspected that the intakes were going to be problematic from the way they were designed, I was right....

Egilman Posted June 21, 2020 Author Share #282 Posted June 21, 2020 Next update... Out of the paint shop and back on my bench... One coat of Tamiya fine grey primer, lets see how well I did filling the gaps.... Starboard side.... Bottom..... Looks pretty good, most of the panel gaps are gone just a few minor fixes needed, that's what we primer for... Clearly there are issues with the intakes, I knew this was going to happen from the assembly process. It's just the way the parts are designed... Starboard intake... Larboard intake.... Fuzzy, but there is a ridge in the middle ahead of the canopy, small but noticeable... The tail cone has a gap that I guess didn't completely fill.... And the gun bay cover edges didn't completely fill either..... Overall I would say she came out of the initial assembly in excellent shape.... a few minor issues to deal with and the worst one being a slight smoothing to a compound fuselage curve behind the intake plenums.... And the metal finish made it through the masking and spraying very well. I had to take off the masking to work the intakes cause I would have knocked it off anyway... Easy to re-mask when needed... Coming along, initial assembly turned out better than I thought it would.... Onwards...

I do too brother, it's perfect for not only showing you where to fix but how your coming closer to fixing the problem.... I'm beginning to feel the same for Mr Surfacer as well... just paint it in, let it dry/cure and sand away.... makes an excellent shallow divot/dent/fine gap filler.... Starting the second application of Mr Surfacer...... It fills the divot rather easily A compound curve into an edge, the edge can't change as that is a landing gear well... One of the more difficult fills for putty... Mr Surfacer 500, no sweat... Almost done on the port side, After this application, a re-spray with primer as a check for smoothness... The top starboard side may be done next time around also.... the split off from the outside surface to the air ramp? no sweat, Putty would have been difficult to keep out of the gap between the splitter plate and fuselage.... Mr Surfacer as a liquid filler handles it easily.... I'm impressed... I'm used to products not being as advertised, and having to make them work or come up with an alternative, this just plain flat works..... Simple and easy, even on the difficult spots... That's what I like... Onward....

The others are too thin for this kind of work.... As it is it's going to take several applications before the surface is smooth...... But, I'm only going to have to wait an hour between fills, it dries to sandable that fast..... The rest of the joints were paint it on, let it quick dry and use Mr Color leveling thinner on a q-tip to clean off the excess... Really a quite fast process.... I like it...

Egilman Posted June 22, 2020 Author Share #287 Posted June 22, 2020 Another filling update.... (moving towards a tastes better solution soon) Port Side... Port Side bottom... That filled out nicely feels smooth to the fingers sliding over it... ready for a primer coat.... The Starboard side is a different story.... The starboard bottom Clearly gonna need more fill here, it was a deep dislocation of part.... Starboard Top.. I'm gonna wait for the next round of primer before I will say it's done.... But it looks good.... The pic is a little grainy but you can still see the hump that needs to be reduced/built up..... Another application of Mr Surfacer.... One thing I REALLY REALLY like is the rapidity I can get to sanding with this stuff..... using putty, I would still be waiting for it to cure.... The difference? I'm almost done with filling long before I would be even able to give it a first sanding.... Mr Surfacer, A must have tool in the box IMHO.... (especially if your doing smooth compound curved surfaces like aircraft) And the obligatory disclaimer, I get no recompense from Mr Hobby, this is just my individual opinion based upon the usage displayed above...

Old Collingwood Posted June 22, 2020 Share #288 Posted June 22, 2020 Can I give a tip that I use for close up photos - they tend to focus behind what we want (they find more detail and contrast there if there is lots of stuff in the background) if you are not too close for your min focus distance - try focusing on something slightly closer by moving that focus box in front of what you want to be sharp, Not by much just a bit, dont foreget that fuselage is detail - less to the camera but all those bits in the background are interesting for the camera and what it will try to focus on.

Thanks OC, I hope so, but the only way to really know is to put a shiny coat on it, if they aren't smooth they will appear as ripples in the surface....... Got my fingers crossed...

Canute Posted June 25, 2020 Share #298 Posted June 25, 2020 EG, the primer looks very good. I suspect you may see a few minor blemishes, but you'll overcome them. 👍 I've never attempted a BMF, although I have built up a few plated passenger cars.

This is my first time also, and it's the first time for these powders as well, something completely new. I'm expecting some blemishes, too much primer over fill to be perfect. She is dressed in black now and just put the first clear high gloss sealer coat on the top... My main fear is it orange peels rather than lays flat... So at this point it is what it is... it either makes it or it doesn't...... Anyway, here are the shots, a long cool woman in a black dress..... The gloss coat takes a couple of hours to cure before I can flip her over and do the bottom, I won't know how it turned out till tonight....
