Egilman Posted July 23, 2022 Author #331 Posted July 23, 2022 (edited) Second RnB coat applied to the upper wing surfaces.... Looks good from here, consistent aluminum sheen with slightly darker splotches in streaks, I can't wait to get this out in some real sunshine... With high flash to show the reflectivity.... The slightly darker streaks wash out in heavy light... It literally glows!!! Yea Team! that is exactly the effect I was looking for.... Real sunlight will tell the tale.... Got to get the second coat on the bottom and then on to the fuselage and empennages.... I think it's going to turn out nice..

So I took the wing out to back porch to get some natural sunlight shots to confirm what I think I have... Direct reflection... Now she should start turning bluish silver as the aspect changes.... I think I've found the secret to doing this finish.... That is perfect coloration which changes as the light conditions and angle changes.... YAY TEAM!!!! When I do the fuselage I will spell out the steps to getting this effect... It looks even more stunning in real life.... Looks real... I'm pleased with it....

Bare plastic... You see nothing but the rivet lines.... But once the wing surface becomes shiny.... You see the stressed skin surface... It was pretty much invisible on the bare plastic... Look at the back wing, the rivet lines coincide with the very subtle stressed skin effect they somehow molded into the surface... And still being very subtle, it shows up under the silver, an effect of realism I still don't know how they did it.... It's absolutely amazing, nothing I've ever seen before.... They modeled stressed skin, and did it very effectively....

Egilman Posted July 24, 2022 Author #342 Posted July 24, 2022 (edited) Update: Rub n Buff how I apply it... I start by using nitrile gloves.... You can do it without the gloves, but it does make whatever you touch a bit messy, it will come off the fingers with IPA... We first start by applying a dab on your finger... You then press the dab between your fingers to thin it out you want to apply as thin a coat as possible less is better in this application... Then, you just spread it directly on the gloss painted surface of your model... Do not allow it to dry, if you start to feel your fingers dragging on the surface the wax based Rub n Buff is dry, get another dab and repeat the process until your surface you want silvered is covered... Once covered, and allowed to dry for a time (I go overnight) use a fine grain, lint free cloth, (t-shirt cloth is what I use) and rub out the surface.... Just like applying paste wax to your car, rub it on, buff it out.... When done it will feel silky smooth.... the cloth will glide over the surface and be careful it's easy to drop your model... With the fuselage covered she looks like this... Of course there is some touching up that is needing to be done and that is done with a pointed q-tip which you can get at Hobby Lobby... What she looks like in the sunshine.... Onwards.....

Canute Posted July 25, 2022 #343 Posted July 25, 2022 EG, how recent is this kit. The reason I ask is some of the resin railroad car kit makers are working oilcanning effects into the car sides thru the 3D masters used to prepare the resin molds. These kits are about 5 or so years old, as the 3D masters have been improved. These are in 1/87th scale, HO. It's beautiful that these stressed panels show up so realistically. SDo you seal the Rubnbuff?

Egilman Posted July 25, 2022 Author #344 Posted July 25, 2022 (edited) It's a 2007 first issue Ken... The first kit they marketed.... Yes it has to be sealed, the finish although hard surfaced will come off rather easily with finger oils... Paul Cordyrette recommended future and when I built the P-51 I sealed it with a coat of future brushed on and allowed to thoroughly cure... It didn't change the look or reflectiveness any just darkened it ever so slightly.... So after I break it down and do the Rub n Buff touch up's it will get a coat to seal it in before I do the detail painting... It's such a realistic impression that I'm still amazed at it and I've been looking at it for a few days now...

Egilman Posted July 26, 2022 Author #346 Posted July 26, 2022 I agree Ken, He is/was a real artist with this one, and being a first release I imagine the technical aspects of molding have gotten better with time... This is my first and only Kinetic kit so far and I'm thoroughly impressed with it's level of detail... Especially for a first release.... I will eventually build another Kinetic Kit, and, as of right now I fully recommend them as 1st rate model makers... I may locate another one, and give it the full museum display treatment, (a few things I would have done differently for a better part alignment/fit) This kit deserves that level of treatment... The next installment is coming as soon as I get over the fever and shakes, I'm suffering from MSW withdrawals right now... {chuckle} Good to see them back up and online....

Just pulled the masking and waiting for it to dry before I buff it out.... Looks to me like it is close to an accurate shade of polished steel, but we will know for sure once it's rubbed out and in the sunlight...

I'll let them speak for themselves... Time for decals.... The highlighted panels don't wash out in bright sunlight, they should have been a tad darker, but they are very close to the look I was trying to achieve.... Next up, Decals, they will be coming from the Kinetic set for the subject aircraft and from Print Scale for the technical stencils... There are a lot of them.... And the mail just told me my RnB order arrived at my mailbox a minute ago... I now have everything to finish this bird.... Onwards my friends...
