Image Comments jerry campbell 20-Jun-07 13:39 I've found my color scheme by pouring over one web site after another. The yellow brown may be incorrect, but I did find a plastic modeler finishing his in this color which I liked better than the more often seen green. Hope the color police don't find o jernst 20-Jun-07 13:47 That's really nice jerry. How are you doing the colors - airbrush? chalk? The panel lines - how are they done? I really like the colors, and agree about seeing something besides chipped green. jerry campbell 20-Jun-07 14:11 I use a Badger 150 double action airbrush hooked to a Badger 180-12 compressor and a moisture trap. I'm painting with Tamiya flat now, but in the past I've prefered using Gunze semi-gloss but the availability is not as good as Tamiya. I over spray the decal area with future floor polish to give me a glossy surface for the decals, then spray with Testors Dullcoat. I've not started doing panel lines yet. The cooling gills are paper glued on and then a thin wash of black is lined with a fine brush. Like a scale prop, learning to use tape for panel lines is in the not too distant future. I've not been doing this very long, I've got a lot to learn. Virtualaerodrome has been a "godsend". mattolson 20-Jun-07 15:13 Do you spray the entire model with the Testors dullcote or just over the decals. I've never used it but I want to try it n the spitfire decals, but don't know if it will make them more obvious without coating the whole plane. jerry campbell 20-Jun-07 18:20 I usually just spray Dullcoat over the area where I sprayed the Future which is glossy. Remember Dullcoat is a lacquar base and works well over dry acryllic paint, but be careful if you are spraying Dullcoat over enamel. I'm new at using many of the products used to build stick and paper kits. Be careful, do a trial on an old model or something that will not be missed if ruined.
