alpinestar Posted November 2, 2013 Author Share Posted November 2, 2013 Thanks Fellas. Paul, the blue was mixed from the Tamiya instructions that Dave J posted in this post (Cheers Dave!). 3 parts XF-18 to 1 part XF-2. It does look a little dark to me though. I may try and lighten it and wash it out a bit with the weathering...... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

alpinestar Posted November 18, 2013 Author Share Posted November 18, 2013 Hi All! Well, finally an update.... I did lose the mojo on this for a while, but I'm back on the case. I started researching the next project, which is lethal for me because I tend to lose interest in the current build . So, I've been weathering. The intent was to make it look old and faded: Oh, and that 'next project' that I've been researching? It's large, and it has balkenkreuz......... Cheers, Chris.

General Posted December 4, 2013 Share Posted December 4, 2013 Out-frikkin'-standing, Chris. You got the dirtied-up and worn look very nicely. The Stars 'n Bars are especially eye-popping. Trumpy did a very nice job with this kit. I built the 'tubby thing' in braille scale a long ways back. The rugged, barrel shape stuck in my mind the most. "Grumman - built strong like tractor, Baby!"

Members Mikester Posted December 26, 2013 Members Share Posted December 26, 2013 That looks outstanding, Chris. Are you just using an airbrush to get the faded effect? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BradG Posted December 27, 2013 Share Posted December 27, 2013 Nice work. Looks like she's been ridden hard and put away wet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
