Javlin Posted May 26, 2022 Author Share #2 Posted May 26, 2022 (edited) Now here is the progression on the shading I did not go black base on this typical Mr Surfacer 1200 was the laid and MM Africa 1942 Sand then the upper panel lines were done in MM Italian Sand.I then started inside of the panels with the Italian Sand(darkest) next came Yellow Zinc Chromate and on to white.I then came back over that with the 1942 slowly building it up I was still not happy with it pic2 so I laid down more #3.I started on the bottom with a med Grey for the panel lines and ever so lightly in a few panel started with the 1942 and went back over with RLM 78 you will notice in #4 R/wing has the dust and the L/wing needs more toning down.The toning down and dust came in #7 I like the effect.I then made a color of a lot of white 70% and 30%1942 almost pink I misted the wings up top and the spine of the fuselage a dust effect sun fade #5 did all the white also.I have the clear on it now and will do some more tomorrow before work and let dry good then decals and pastels Edited May 26, 2022 by Javlin Landlubber Mike, yvesvidal, king derelict and 14 others 17 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Javlin Posted May 30, 2022 Author Share #9 Posted May 30, 2022 Decals have been applied I know we like thin but man some of these were just to thin I lost several.I have several mistakes in the paint all on the undersides 1) the white under the wings went one panel to far inboard.2) the white band on the tail is 1/16" to wide hint the "A" hit the white centering the "Z" and 3) the RLM 78 was to go much lower between the wing and tailplanes live and learn.I think when done 9 out of 10 people will never notice those mistakes so I march on.I made up the colors for the props,bombs and prop covers. ccoyle, lmagna, NavyShooter and 11 others 14 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CDW Posted May 30, 2022 Share #12 Posted May 30, 2022 You're building this straight from the box with no aftermarket? The detail looks super! There are some good model companies in Ukraine (ICM being one) that I hope don't go under due to the conflict there. The model I'm building right now is produced by a company in Ukraine, MiniArt.

Javlin Posted June 4, 2022 Author Share #21 Posted June 4, 2022 I busted out a box of pastels using a light white grey and an even lighter sand mixed started some blending.I had the airbrush set up with some flat I coat spray coat till I was happy....I think I am happy with the wings and the L/Tailplane.The build is starting to come together just longer than most for me at least it's getting artistic ATTM.
