rieser Posted May 21, 2013 Share Posted May 21, 2013 Hasegawa's Bf109 F-4/Trop done out-of-the-box in 2011 with some Tamiya tape seat belts and left-over "Yellow 10" decals from a Kagero sheet... Thanks for looking. Cheers, Ralph. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest styrenedemon Posted May 22, 2013 Share Posted May 22, 2013 Another absolute stunner. I seriously am digging this scheme too which I've never seen before. I'd really love you to do a build and give an extensive tutorial of your painting and weathering process. That splotched variation you achieve in the individual colors is awesome. Is that from salt masking? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One-Oh-Four Posted May 22, 2013 Share Posted May 22, 2013 Great model Ralph! I really like the colour scheme and the weathering you did on it! Dirty in just the right places and nothing like the Mondriaan-Syndrome visible! Top-notch! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rieser Posted May 27, 2013 Author Share Posted May 27, 2013 Thanks Gents - very kind words - much appreciated. styrenedemon: the tonal shifts in the paintwork were done by pushing the contrasting tonal variation during postshading. The limitation with applying the colours by airbrush is that they always look soft-edged. Most of the wing root chipping on this one was done with a 2B lead pencil. The pencil was added in a couple of layers, and blended in with airbrushed grimy-coloured filters. "Fresh" chips were added after the pencil-filter layers, just to pop out a few spots here and there. I've been trying to use thinned Vallejo acrylics and the AFV "mapping" technique to add hard-edged scuffing. Still trying to get the hang of it. I've not tried the dissolved salt technique - think it would be very interesting to try on an Olive Drab-Neutral Grey subject. Cheers, Ralph.
