I know jets aren't you're thing but does that mean you'll do the matching F-14 with the pilot keeping up international relations? If we can even see the pilot being so short and all... 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Administrators Clunkmeister Posted January 8, 2019 Author Administrators Share Posted January 8, 2019 Awesome awesome awesome! I went to post a slight update, and my build’s almost on the second page from all the new updates! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Clunkmeister Posted January 8, 2019 Author Administrators Share Posted January 8, 2019 So, everyone knows I suck at jets. Most know I suck at no Luftwaffe camo patterns. So, let’s try the three time grey that the kit supplies decals for. Yes, there’s also a Russian blue scheme, but this has to be OOB, so grey it is. So i carefully plan my attack, and......... Missed it by THAT much, Chief! it looks absolutely NOTHING like it should. Colors are not where they should be. Back to the drawing board, or at least we’ll do a few color line “adjustments” where needed. Yeah, we can fix it. I HATE masks when doing camo, although I know hat certain subjects, like British WW2 aircraft need to be masked and painted. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hubert Hubert, it’s tough. Old habits die hard. Now explain the wood grain floor and the hand crank to close the canopy. And where’s the tailwheel? Everyone knows tricycles are for kids. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peterpools Posted January 8, 2019 Share Posted January 8, 2019 Ernie Not sure which is NG: the colors or the cammo pattern. Looks good in the pic and I’m a big fan of the worm method. It’s a lot less stress using worms to get the cammo pattern as wanted and I like to keep them super small but rounded so I get a tight feathered edge. If it’s the colors don’t look right, are the callouts wrong? Keep ‘em comin Peter 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Clunkmeister Posted January 8, 2019 Author Administrators Share Posted January 8, 2019 Agreed, Peter. I’ve always prided myself on my freehand, but actually, the pattern’s not far off. It can be fixed and yes, I can roll some worms and that’ll definitely help. The color fallouts are good. I lightened it a bit already and will do some patchwork once I get the pattern perfect. There’s plenty of variation now, but some lighter areas will help as well. Hey, that’s what makes this fun! 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Grunhertz Posted January 8, 2019 Share Posted January 8, 2019 Looks good to me but I can never get the worm method to work for me because the bloody things don't stick! 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlrwestSiR Posted January 8, 2019 Share Posted January 8, 2019 Every time I try the worm technique, they wriggle away and leave a slimy residue trail behind them. Or worse, I get the urge to go fishing. Otherwise, I think the camo looks fine if a bit light. Carl 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ivan Ivanovich Posted January 10, 2019 Share Posted January 10, 2019 What's Kitty Hawk's colour callout for the darkest camouflage colour? Somehow it lacks that very distictive blueish tinge. The actual pattern colour should be FS 35237 Gray Blue. [edit] Just found out KH's painting and markings guide suggests FS 36118 aka Medium Gunship Gray. Sloppy Hawk strikes again... For comparison: FS 35164 was used as the darkest pattern colour on USAF Aggressor F-5E/F aircraft wearing the so-called "New Blue" scheme. Actual camouflage colours: (KH F-5F VFC-111/VMFT-401 marking options) 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
