ophthoidoug Posted May 10, 2017 Share Posted May 10, 2017 A couple of quick (cellphone) shots of the latest model to clear my bench - Tamiya's big beautiful XVIe - finished in natural metal & South African colors. V difficult to get good quality photos of the finish/shading/reflections ... Unsurprisingly the kit fell together. Markings were a mixture of custom masks, Alleycat decals & Techmod stencils (I rate the stencils v highly indeed!). Painting comprised Mr Surfacer followed by Alclad then faded using heavily diluted (Tamiya) acrylic white & paneling with Comart inks (mostly grey & smoke). Now then, somebody in New Zealand has been kind enough to send me a Camel & an LVG in a large box & I can't wait to get stuck in!

GusMac Posted May 10, 2017 Share Posted May 10, 2017 Lovely, the fading on the wings is superb. I take it that's the Tamiya XVIe kit? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
