| edtherenderman | Easy Built Taube | Build | 20-Jan-20 08:38 |  | | Views : 250 | | Taube after painting with Vallejo ModelAir Light Sand. The warping section of the wings was shot first with just a light coat to keep it transparent. I then masked and painted the rest until opaque. Several references I’ve seen have the warping part transparent, while several do not. I liked the effect of being able to see all the ribs I put into the wings, so I went with the transparent. The Decals were created with white waterslide inject decal paper. After printing, I coat them with clear gloss enamel to set the ink. I painted the wings with gloss enamel to get the decals to adhere, and used decal set to slightly melt the decal onto the wing. I need to finish the wings by painting over with matt finish to remove the gloss. I still have decals to apply to the top and bottom rudder. |
