What are you using for your masks? Wet paper towels?

No, i use Patafix. It's like your 'blu tac'.

End of 'Phase One', now it's time for Future...

Wow, wow, wow, that is looking great. What a difference from the translucent thing it was. Wonderful build Kruaxi

Cheers

I'm will all here Kruaxi. Looking good. So much better then I thought it would be considering what you started with.

I love that faded look to the camo that was so typical of USAF aircraft in Vietnam. How did you do that?

kruaxi · Post by **kruaxi** » June 23rd, 2011, 11:06 am

Watching images, and working with airbrush... with some mix of colours i experienced at the moment.
No precise rules.
Problems will come with decals, old and rough, but will be proper for a so old kit....

Gave Future, and added canopy (i cut):

Superior work, Kruaxi. Great fading technique.

You're 'too' gentle...

Would there be burn marks around some of the damage?

Looking good so far, Kruaxi.

Regards,
Bruce

I think so, will use Tamiya powder

Go for decals. Very old and incorrect, too thick (as camera flash evidence), clear at least. Hope will be better after the next coat of Future

Looking forwarded to seeing some weathering on this as you can really go mad with it
