I try to limit my irons in the fire to 2 or 3 at a time. I think more would make me nuts. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bomber_County Posted May 28, 2019 Share Posted May 28, 2019 These have been accumulating over probably 3 years, didn’t have the right set up for spraying etc until recently. Now I have it’s good to finish projects and also gives me more bench space.... 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The finished product: Far left is the base color, all varying shades of tan. The top five are Model Master enamels; the lower five are Tamiya acrylics. Second column is with Windsor & Newton Burnt Umber oil applied. Third column has the the oil wiped after about 90 minutes drying time (no Japan drier). My wiping tool of choice is an ordinary cotton swab. You can vary pressure to remove as much of the oil as you deem necessary. After a few days for the oil to dry, I sprayed Tamiya clear orange on the fourth column. I still need to label each base color, but after I present it, it will go on the wall so I can use it to pick base colors. The paints used (in order): MM Radome tan MM Sand MM Armor Sand MM SAC bomber Tan MM RAF Middlestone Tam XF-57 Buff Tam XF-78 Wooden Deck Tan Tam XF-46 Khaki Tam XF-59 Desert Yellow Tam XF-55 Deck Tan Thanks for the guide Bill. I've only tried this a couple times so your chart will be a great reference. Carl 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ryan Posted May 31, 2019 Share Posted May 31, 2019 Starting to reel in my AC mojo back....did some work on a WNW Pup. Not playing around with oils/wood grain has made the process enjoyable, here are some detail painting wip shots.

Hehe, was on the market to get red Tuna, but there was none, but the Peto is the second best choice and almost available the whole year. While filleting, me and the dog got some slices of crude Peto, the rest will be at the barbacoa (barbecue) tonight. Cheers Rob 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cheers Rob Wahoo or Ono as it is called in Japan and Hawaii. White Tuna is more like Albacore. I am actually going fishing for these in July. Teeth so sharp they will filet you open in a heartbeat. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
[CAT]CplSlade Posted June 7, 2019 Share Posted June 7, 2019 Crazy how it looks like a barracuda except for a few details. Are they aggressive like barracuda or do they only filet you when attempting to handle them after capture? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smitty44 Posted June 7, 2019 Share Posted June 7, 2019 They are in the King Mackerel family. Actually they dont have big scary teeth, it is a row of fine razor sharp ones. Most cuts come from handling them. Crew are quick to club them once in the boat. What sets them apart though is they have been known to jump into boats. If you are fishing them by casting and retrieving a jig you have to pause before taking your jig out of the water as they will follow it right into the boat. Many an angler has been injured this way. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Here in Spain they are called Peto and if you want an explanation, the fishermen tell you it's kind of a white tuna. They do look like something between a Tuna and a Barracuda, but they are like smitty said part of the Mackrel family and can be as long as two meters and they taste pretty good with a salsa made of fresh mangas, red onions, chily lime and a little bit of palm honey.

[CAT]CplSlade Posted June 8, 2019 Share Posted June 8, 2019 Yeah, I don't live anywhere the water anymore (closer to Hell, these days or at least it feels so) but I grew up on the Gulf Coast and barracuda were our thing although I personally fished from the shore or off a pier. Shark are popular here, too. If I'd had a boat back then I can't say I would like any large fish jumping up into it with me, be it wahoo or barracuda. Same as I wouldn't want a deer crashing into a hunting blind with me. To be honest, I have never eaten tuna outside of the solid albacore packed in water sold in any grocery store. I grew up Southern Gulf Coast-style and somehow frying what is posted in the pic above and serving it with tartar sauce and hushpuppies seems rude. My wife, however, has eaten yellowfin steaks and liked them but will not eat my tuna salad or casserole. I will eat fried flounder and grouper all day long so I guess that reveals my lack of sophistication regarding fine seafood. But I ask you, who here has not put a fish stick in their mouth? Don't fish sticks taste good? 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
