Paulo Lopes Posted March 8, 2016 Share Posted March 8, 2016 Hi, my fellow modelers! This is my 1/32 Hasegawa's Mitsubishi Raiden finished!! I opted for a very worn plane taking advantage of the model size. Painted in IJN Green (Tamiya XF-11) using the hair spray technique for the weathering. I had a lot of pleasure building this model. hope you like it too. Thanks. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wingco57 Posted March 9, 2016 Share Posted March 9, 2016 Beautifully weathered. Question: did you mask off the black panels and paint them before chipping away? And does the toplayer hold the tape well enough? Questions quetions but what a fantastic model! Congratulations.Cees Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In fact, I painted the black panels almost the same time of the overall green. Just before the color painting, I apllied a coat of lacquer paint TS-30 "silver leaf", from Tamiya, and a thin layer of hair lacquer (from my mother in law arsenal!!). Then, with warm water, a rough brush and a toothpick I started chiping, slowly and controllably. With this method, all the masks I used were well suported by the top layer (I used Tamiya tape, previously used to lose grip). cya Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wingco57 Posted March 9, 2016 Share Posted March 9, 2016 Thanks Paulo, Your mother in law must have some strange thoughts about you finding that out. Cees Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
