GusMac Posted July 4, 2021 Share Posted July 4, 2021 Really nice masking work Kai. Glad there wasn't too much touching up to do. Nice thinking with the circular masks to ensure a uniform background under the decals. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kaireckstadt Posted July 4, 2021 Author Share Posted July 4, 2021 The triangles had to be reworked a little bit more since I made a mistake: The triangle is a complete one. I cut of the edge near the fuselage which is wrong: This is the original plane and this was my mistake! To correct it I had to prime the black portions with white (yellow will never cover the black!) and then I did the touch-ups and painted the missing corner: Now it’s ok and I can go on with the top side. 9 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kaireckstadt Posted July 10, 2021 Author Share Posted July 10, 2021 Tonight I managed to airbrush the light sand color on the upper fuselage and wings. I decided not to do a patchy paintjob, because on the real plane the camo isn’t patchy: I also detected a scratch on the left intake which I have to rework: Otherwise it looks like this now: The demarcation lines. Airbrushed with 0,15 mm nozzle freehand: With the color on the tail the nozzle really comes to life: Next color to follow will be the green. 7 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Peterpools Posted July 10, 2021 Share Posted July 10, 2021 Kai The light tan looks smooth as silk and I’m glad you decided to do the finish mostly clean as the photos. Any update on the the “scratch”? Keep ‘em comin Peter 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trigger Posted July 10, 2021 Share Posted July 10, 2021 Wow Kai, as Peter said, nice smooth finish on the sand color, and you are right, the exhaust now really stands out with the sand color on, how thin did you make your paint?. I'm curious about the next phase with the green, good work so far, the extra mile you took in preparing the Mirage now pays of, Frank 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This gives some scope for playing with the airbrush. As you see above I still find some faults to correct. Sloppy work at control after priming… 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
