Jörgen Posted April 28, 2021 Share #1 Posted April 28, 2021 (edited) Hi all. I have been asked to do a build log on my plastic airplane and tank builds. Since I have to many build ongoing at the moment and I didn't want to start another one yet so did I get a another idea. In my opinion so have I at last nailed the airbrushing and I feel totally comfortable with it (the gamechanger for me was the start to use lacquer paints). What I feel totally lost in is the weathering and this is a field were I want to improve. I thought it could be fun to chare my trying in learning it with you all. I will use yputube as guides and this time i will follow this person that I enjoy to follow https://www.youtube.com/c/NightShiftScaleModels . So the object: This is a 1/35 scale of JagdTiger from Tamiya. It is built straight from the box. I have built the tank and almost finish with the painting. I want to have the really good looking ambush camouflage. The color quite interesting and this dark yellow existed in different variants during the war. I was looking around on different brands of paint manufactures to try to get it right. My choice was the orange box (lacqure) Late WW2 german AFV Paint set from HATAKA. This is how far I have come in the build. Still need to paint more dots in the camo:) I hope you will enjoy this.

Jörgen Posted May 6, 2021 Author Share #9 Posted May 6, 2021 Hi again. Thank you all for the nice comments. Think this will be as interesting for me as for you. I have no idea how to make this weathering:) However, here is the start to prepare it for the weathering. I have finished the dots for the ambush camouflage but i am not so happy over the result. But i think this was added hasty by the crew so maybe it is ok. I have to fix some of the dots becouse they ended up behind the decals. If the crew put them on then they would be in the front of the decals.. The first step is to apply gloss varnish for the decals and protect the surface. I always do this with 50% tamiya x-22 and 50% Leveling thinner. After this I applied the decals with the help of Micro Sol and Micro set. Now it I sprayed the model again but this time with 50% tamiya x-286 and 50% Leveling thinner. This gives the shine that i like for my airplanes and i think it is good as a base for the weathering.

I think the lacquer market has exploded with paints. There are HATAKA, MRP, McColour and even Tamiya has released a range now. The are no compare between acrylic and lacquers when spraying them. I cant stand the acrylic becouse of the bad end result and the always stop in the airbrush. Maybe it is ok for bugger surfaces and but I always paint "panel for panel" over a black base. That gives total control over it. Btw, I am now finished (at last....) with a big renovation of my house so now I have time to fix half made models and get up to speed. As you see on the table there are a few projects ongoing at the same time.

Jörgen Posted May 15, 2021 Author Share #11 Posted May 15, 2021 (edited) They are on my wish list Kevin, have I understand right that Ryefield Models has its origins in old Dragon? I really want to se a bield log on them. Bra, I am reading a very interesting book at the moment. It is Tigers in the mud by Otto Carius. A panzer ace of 502. I can highly recommend it.

Jörgen Posted May 27, 2021 Author Share #14 Posted May 27, 2021 (edited) Hi all Thank you for the nice comments. Here is a interesting update... I realize that I had forgot to add the hooks so I had to glue them in. I think this finish looks really good but I have also start think little bit and I am not really happy with my dots. So I have decided to take another approach. I glued on the spare tracks and cover my the markings with Mr.Masking liquid. Then I made this This will be the base for what I am doing next. I will have more information to present in a week or so but you will still se a ambush camoflage. And you can aslo look forward to this: This is all for now:) Edited May 27, 2021 by Jörgen missspelling Egilman, popeye the sailor, Edwardkenway and 9 others 12 Quote Jörgen Current: Sherbourne - Caldercraft 1/64 Vasa - DeAgostini 1/65 Finished: Endeavour - Americas Cup J class 1934 - Amati 1/80 Other: Airplanes and Tanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jörgen Posted July 14, 2021 Author Share #16 Posted July 14, 2021 (edited) Hi again. I have now got the items I ordered and I will now continue with the work. I will go this path instead as you see in the photo. I can highly recommend these books and colors. I have played with the AK real colors and start to like them very much. In the upper right corner you can see a T90 that I am painting with the AK real color modern Russia set. First I put some layers of chipping fluid with the airbrush. The AK Real Color paint is really thick in the bottles so this is how I do to dilute them. First I stir up the paint. Then I add the thinner to the airbrush. Both the proper one from AK or Mr.Color leveling thinner work perfect for this color. Then I collect the color with the help of a brush and add it to the paint cup. I mix the color in the paint cup with the help of the brush. According to The Ak Real Color book the ambush camouflage is called "Camouflage Scheme 1 and was introduces in September 1944. The dots could be brushed or sprayed on. I start with AK RC RC060 and this color represent Dark Yellow Ral 7028 of 1943. Then I paint the green (all colors are applied with freehand airbrushing) with AK RC 047 That is Ral 6003 Olive green. And then the final color that is AK RC 068 Ral 8017 Rot Braun. After this it is time for the spots. I use a quite diluted mix and low air pressure. Here is the final result. I feel that the yellow spot got a little big so i will adjust it little with brown and green. I am now back to to the place I was before I took the decision to strip the color. And now can the weathering trials continue.
