Woodshedwings Posted July 5, 2017 Posted July 5, 2017 While waiting for some etch to arrive for the Tamiya 1/48 Uhu, I thought I'd start the Revell 109. Built and painted the cockpit using the Barracuda cast seat with integral belts. Used punched out kit decals for the IP alongside some 1/48 dials and placards from Airscale . Dry brushed with light grey enamel. Washed using Klear, water, black paint mix and matted down with Tamiya flat clear with a little flat base for an extra Matt finish. Glazed the dials with a drop of Klear. 9
DocRob Posted July 6, 2017 Posted July 6, 2017 Nice takeoff. It is good to see that not the whole world is spinning around pre colored Photoetch. Your paintjob gives a nice feel for depth, subtle and tonal balanced. Cheers Rob 3
Woodshedwings Posted July 6, 2017 Author Posted July 6, 2017 While I have no problem using coloured etch (I plan to throw a bunch of it at the Uhu), there's something satisfying about painting your own details, especially in the larger scales, and have them turn out half decent. As you say, you retain the depth which etch sometimes flattens out. 3
kahunaminor Posted July 7, 2017 Posted July 7, 2017 Really like the result you have obtained with the seat. In fact the whole lot says craftsman at work. Well done. Regards, 2
harv Posted September 10, 2018 Posted September 10, 2018 Man that's nice clean work! How do you paint the blue details so cleanly ?..... Harv. 2
