Hello everyone and thanks for your comments and interest.
The masking with toothpaste, I've seen in some works in a forum in the country. And it looks very practical for certain types of camouflage, or to cover certain areas when using the airbrush.
As the waves in our 1 White are relatively thin, the truth is that the quality of my airbrushes does not give me the confidence to do
so many strokes relatively thin and close to each other, and although working by freehand I'm still perfecting my technique, ... I'm not to take that risk.
With the correct mouthpiece, I have this idea to try this technique.
The first was to simulate the lines of panels and rivets in a flat piece of plastic ...
Prepare half of that piece to apply the first color. As the waves are in RLM74, that will be the base layer ...
With a pencil I traced some of the types of waves that the 109 will carry. I took the toothpaste in the plastic bottle and with the selected mouthpiece I began to follow the lines ...
Let me tell you that it
is very important to try to maintain the same pressure in the bottle so that the thickness of the desired line does not vary ...
as you can see, I had my variations!
I'm going to let the toothpaste dry and tomorrow I'll see how it behaved, in order to apply the 2nd color (RLM76) ...
... I'm beginning to have some doubts ...
Meanwhile, I finished detailing the legs of the landing gear, I can only wait to apply varnish gloss for the washes.
To use the kit mask sheet on the transparent parts, it took me several hours in the morning!
The internal masks on the back of the canopy do not give the correct position together, to demarcate the interior frames. I chose to remove them and taking advantage of the exteriors being fine, I will paint outside, first the RLM66 of the cockpit and then the exterior color RLM76. For the windshield I will do the same because it does not include masks for the interior.
In the photo you can see the internal disaster of the piece on the right ...
For the central part of the canopy, there was no problem; but since there are only 6 pieces for the 6 windows, it would be necessary to use them 2 times to paint both sides, ... so I used my usual technique to mask the exterior of the windows with Tamiya tape and a bit of liquid mask ...
... and I applied the RLM66 ...
... I'm going to let them sleep and tomorrow we continue ...
Your feedback is welcome.
