Dave J Posted December 30, 2015 Author Share Posted December 30, 2015 Frickin AMAZING! Were all these machines painted differently to ID the pilot? I know each of them was different paint job.. but I don't know if it was pilot choice.. I think its what ever is laying around... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave J Posted December 30, 2015 Author Share Posted December 30, 2015 Weathering started yesterday.. Prior to that I sealed everything in with a good coating of Mr Color GXIII Gloss. I used AK Naval set for the washes to start off with, The lighter shade of grey on the Xwing, I used the Kriegsmarine Grey wash, and Wash for Grey Decks for the darker grey patches on the fuselage. Before - After - For the Red patches I used Wash for Dark Yellow.. Thanks for Jims input on that one! Up till now, I have been lucky.. But I been hit with the Bandai curse! I had 3 of the 4 engine pods crack on me... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dave J Posted January 1, 2016 Author Share Posted January 1, 2016 So this was my fix for the cracked parts around the nozzles, I applied Tamiya Extra Thin over the cracks and allowed the melted plastic to oozed out.. then Tamiya Tape around the nozzles really tightly and allowed to dry for a few hours. Then the offending areas were sanded smooth and resprayed. And then AK Washes reapplied! Also got all the small items done.. So now its a flat coat and some last weathering with pigments.
