Put a filter on top, base color 70% RAL7028 and 30% white. Should have used more thinner and higher pressure. Still learning…
Yay! 🙂
Second act…5 parts RAL8017 with 2 parts Glaze Medium and no thinner…still experimenting. Not bad.
Back to the instrument panel. I first gave it a coat of enamel gloss black, then a thin coat of acrylic black lightened up with a drop of white. Then removed the acrylic from the embossed parts with a cotton swab dipped in acrylic thinner.
Drybrushing is next…

Yes, transferring „evidence“ from elsewhere is what I meant.
I do not know whether this was collateral damage from a US attack or not.
I categorically reject any suggestion that this was an intentional US attack aiming at killing school kids.
Tomahawk circuit boards could be found all over the place from day one.
Iran had plenty of time and opportunity to produce such „evidence“. Neither side can be trusted.
I viewed that cutaway just today, it’s from one of these
First airbrush camo job? Looks like you are a natural talent then! 👍

Ws the photo with the aircraft slices taken at MAI?
When I visited in 1996 or so, they had an exquisite collection of aircraft components and parts, and a stripped down MiG-23 with fully workable swing wings and landing gear.

Isn’t that what Paul Eremenko launched as ‘Project 804‘ at UTC in 2019?
Cool! Gotta try that.
Nice! I find the lighting in Hendon is challenging in places. Not only dark, but what little light is there has a funky yellow or purple tinge. 🫣
Indeed. But if they smell unusual, they‘ll get tossed. 🙂
All neatly stored…50 years worth of Humbrol, Revell, Gunze, ModelMaster, Vallejo.
I keep paint associated with work in process stashed away with them.

As I was getting up for paint I thought, what do others go with? So...

This is my mess next to my airbooth😎
Did I mention that I find filling, contouring, and sanding is meditative? First round, amost there…

Well done!

Credible reports that ginormous Russian LNG (liquid natural gas) tanker Arctic Metagaz is on fire in Mediterranean. Reports suggest it was hit be a USV (uncrewed surface vessel)
Whether Iran linked or Ukraine, very big implications for Russian war effort
Back to the instrument panels…should be 6 bezels wide, but the kit cockpit is too narrow, so five must do. I used 0.13mm Evergreen sheet, still too thick, I‘ll try sanding the bezels down a bit.
Could have drilled holes instead, but I wouldn‘t have managed to align them.
