Skyediamonds1985 | 21-Apr-16 15:25 | Have to say your model is stunning!! From what I can see, it looks as though you've really paid close attention to the preparation and painting to give it a smooth and beautiful finish. Not to sound picky, but I've compared this picture with some of your previous ones, and it looks as though a small portion of the lower canopy frame appears missing. |
Anders | 21-Apr-16 15:37 | Spot on, thats the factory paint from the ARF standard. Not happy about the glossy nature of the paint, and the masking was a bit off. The bits missing are the places i could remove it with my fingers. Scratching my head right now as how to remove the rest.... |
Skyediamonds1985 | 21-Apr-16 20:33 | Thank you for replying to my observation. Just a small suggestion: Try painting the remaining canopy frame work with the paint you used for the top portion of the fuselage. That way, you don't have to worry about matching colors and your paint is already flat, as opposed to glossy. Don't know about this particular ARF, have they supplied you with decals or stick-ons? Or are you customizing the model to a special aircraft? Just curious. Your talent for this model certainly has my attention. It's great! |
Skyediamonds1985 | 21-Apr-16 20:38 | By the way, I did see some references in the background on your previous postings, but nothing was mentioned about any particular aircraft. Hence, my asking if your're going to customize the model to any special aircraft. |
Anders | 22-Apr-16 09:29 | The reference in the background is the colour suggestion for an Airfix 1/72 E-3. Used for camuflage pattern and colour codes. But the white rudder is not correct, i did that to make the tail stand out from the surrondings ( great for flying!) and i found the usual yellow to be a bit common. Not sure where im headed with the rest of the marking, might just mix it up and put the numbers and unit markings i like on it. Also going to try some A4 water slide paper i got from eBay, not sure how well those work.... As for the canopy the main issue is removal of old paint without ruining it... |
