Javlin Posted October 12, 2020 Author Share #32 Posted October 12, 2020 We are to Denis highs in the low 80's So I finally cleared one of my biggest hurdles with this build the stencils a lot of trial an error alot.I made the said stencils five times wasted abit of ink getting the dimensions right then had to repaint the fuse some for the stars were in the wrong location! I made one big stencil and saved the star now just to make the circle and hope I still have Insignia Blue left?

Javlin Posted November 19, 2020 Author Share #48 Posted November 19, 2020 I built this in the last four days it's a 1982 boxing from Tamiya of the Zero(Hamp) had a price tag of $11 I paid in the late 80's.I lost one of the interior landing gear doors so I opted for the gear up option then to which the stand comes out of the spares box from supermodel.The box art showed more of what my scheme is while Tamy shows a much more sparse camo like a late KI-61 I thought not?A Nice distracting build.

It's AB and a new technique for me I upped to 35psi and started with short strokes on my Badger Renegade with fine tip for the first cover then 2/3 coats got longer strokes(pullback) to lay more thicker paint building up layers.The best painter and possibly model builder I know uses a technique similar but he works at 50psi and acrylics.

Javlin Posted November 21, 2020 Author Share #55 Posted November 21, 2020 (edited) So I asked Wayne if I could post some pics of his work for his painting technique now if I remember he works acrylics @50psi making dots all over the plane.I like the effect when complete it looks weathered in a way that is more natural the guy has won a few competitions.The kit is a Revell 1/32 Me-262 I am not going to kill you on pics but just showing a different way to paint it does take hours to accomplish Edited November 21, 2020 by Javlin Canute, Old Collingwood, mtaylor and 5 others 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
