Lt. Biggles Posted September 18 Author Share #61 Posted September 18 I’ve been on a few days road trip up to the north cape of NZ so this gave all the oil paint a good long time to dry in the hot water cupboard. Before I left I painted the exhausts aluminium and gave them an oil wash. These dried well while away and then I did many light misty coats of a red brown mix. Until it was enough to still have some aluminium coming through. Then I added some rust pigments and abit more highlighting with some soot pigments. Happy with these I managed to get them on the plane with only slight damage! They blended in with the whole plane which was what I was after, I didn’t want them to be super obvious and jump out in a bad way. I wanted them to look the part and just add to the over all feel. I am really happy with how they turned out! GrandpaPhil, Egilman, Jack12477 and 9 others 10 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Canute Posted September 18 Share #62 Posted September 18 Nicely done. Those pieces turned out perfectly, just the right amount of heat effect on them. 👍 Lt.

Lt. Biggles Posted Monday at 11:39 PM Author Share #66 Posted Monday at 11:39 PM A little update, just doing the finishing touches now. Brass barrels are on, Resin wheels are fixed on, Opened the bomb bay doors, Most of the antennas are done, Propellors are on, Nose cone is on, All the masks are off the windows, A few stains and streaks added here and there, And a few touch ups from the inevitable things breaking while working one other things! Once these final touches are done I’ll take some good all round pics and it will be finished!
