Evening.....didn't want to hijack Fenlanders topic, so I'll post here instead.


Monica, thank you for that, I just used Tamiya paints as per the instructions. As I'm starting again, I thought I would follow the instructions for once....lol.


done a bit more airbrushing today, Exhaust - thought I;d have a go at blueing and carbon fibre.

--------------- ----------very good idea,and I can keep up with this one as well,


ta for the info,I don,t have any tamiya colors,and my local guy only has vallejo, :S


looking real good,Nail ,the Exhaust colors are very well done,its like a mix of brass/silver,I think,

 

[Coops3d]

It's metallic grey Base then semi gloss black over the top. I will be adding clear gloss later.

Did a bit more tonight.........
thought I'd assemble a few parts without glue etc to see what she looks like.........
I need to redo the disk brakes and maybe the blue exhausts.....I think I may have gone overboard !

looking great Neil,real liking how its taking shape,
I did get some Vallejo,chrome and aluminum ,today so can make a start
on my one,
have a lite gold,
must ask,did you use,chrome for the disc,s ? or would they be aluminum,I would think so,
I do like the ,exhausts.the colors are right,maybe try and blend them down a bit,and this bit ,I,m
interest to know how you do it as well,
some time back Ian did this type of thing as well,on a jet engine,wish I could find it to see how he did it,
