Wingco57 Posted October 27, 2017 Share Posted October 27, 2017 Those RB radiator parts are fantastic, however check the fit of the rear part as on mine it didn't and had to leave it off. Better safe than sorry. Cheers Cees 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coolboxx Posted November 3, 2017 Author Share Posted November 3, 2017 Hi all update 3, some primer and paint going on. I think you get the gist from the picture's. Alcad white primer Tamiya xf 83 mixed with some xf 2 Tamiya xf 82 mixed with some xf 19 and a masking idea I wanted to share 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DocRob Posted November 3, 2017 Share Posted November 3, 2017 Hi Darren, impressive work on the camo and a great idea about the masking. As I saw the first pictures of ocean gray I thought what the heck, but then it clicked . We share the same preferences for the airbrush, mate. A magnificent tool, I like even better than my old Rotring ones, which are engineered more refined, but are not so easy to use for modelling. They are better to use with inks and other non pigmented colors. Cheers Rob 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It just shows an idea that may come in handy... Yes that airbrush is fantastic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

coolboxx Posted November 8, 2017 Author Share Posted November 8, 2017 I've managed to get the paint on with the d- day markings here's a quick shot. Fun stuff to follow... Cheers Darren. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GusMac Posted November 8, 2017 Share Posted November 8, 2017 The stripes look suitably 'scruffy' Darren. What technique did you use, hairspray, liquid frisket or somesuch? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On the leading edges I applied this with a toothbrush flicking it on. now I will weather this in. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GusMac Posted November 9, 2017 Share Posted November 9, 2017 Thanks Darren, will have to look into that Humbrol maskol. I've got the Gunze Neo liquid mask and it's too thick to try a technique like that but your results look very nice. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The humbrol you can. 20 hours ago, scrodes said: I picked them up and they're gorgeous. I bought far too many aftermarket accessories probably They are very smart, slight mod to fit.

GusMac Posted November 11, 2017 Share Posted November 11, 2017 Ah, hadn't considered that but I suppose with an ammonia base that would be possible. I feel an experiment coming on.... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

coolboxx Posted November 12, 2017 Author Share Posted November 12, 2017 Hi Scrodes, nearly exactly as the seat cover. silver base,RC424 base leather, brown mix varnish watered down, applied same way as seat cover. then applied a black wash to blend. I have a quick method earlier on this thread. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
