Kressy's Hasegawa 1/48 109 F4 GB Build.

Thanks Ian. Hopefully have this primed in the next couple of days. Not sure how I'm going to paint it as most of the marking walk around I've seen show the camo differently. 

[Guest]

Well the primer has gone on and have applied some pre shading to it. I'm certainly out of practice with the airbrush  :P  Looking forward to getting some colour down and trying to mask up the different camo. 


Cheers.

Just caught up Kresten and its looking sweet.

[Guest]

Thanks papa. Well got the RLM04 ID band and identification markings on. Will mask up tomorrow and get the underside colour on. I've decided to go with the eagle editions marking instructions. Only thing I'm not sure about is the underside colour. The instructions say RLM 78, just not sure if that's right.


Cheers.

Looking good Kresten, hope that preshading comes through mate.

RLM 78 was the topical underside colour, so would be correct, assuming this aircraft was originally finished in the tropical scheme.

Thanks Steve, it was originally in the trop scheme then sent to the eastern front. I'm using the AK interactive RLM colour sets for the paint and so far I'm not liking them. Keep blocking up the airbrush no matter how much I thin them.

I highly recommend Gunze Mr Hobby. They are arguably the best airbrushing Acrylics around. I use them and their colour matches are spot on as well

Think I might have to get some John. Have done the RLM 78. The colour is great but had to clean the airbrush half way through due to the paint again. Very annoying. Went on a bit thick as well so the pre shading didn't really work that well. More practice needed.


Cheers.

Hi all. Have managed to get the paint mostly finished. Just a couple of touch ups and some RLM02 for the inside of the flaps and slats. Looks a bit weird now but hopefully the decals and weathering will bring it together.


Cheers.

[stona]

That looks great. It was some camouflage scheme!

Nice work on the paint job Kresten. A very busy scheme.

[Guest]

Thanks guys, certainly is a bit different.

[Guest]

Kreston mate.... 3 tone camo, firstly hats off for event attempting it, and secondly very very well executed man! Thirdly getting that propeller top right can be such a pain but I think youve done well. 

[Guest]

Thanks mate. Getting feedback like that certainly helps to push me along and do a good job of it. Hopefully be getting the decals on in the next couple of days.


Cheers.
