CORSAIR F4U-4; 1/48, Revell

[SANCER]

Gracias Brian, un saludo cariñoso.

We have had a weekend with several commitments and today Sunday comes the whole family to celebrate being all well and several have been in shelters, collection centers and in rescue work. There will be stories of all kinds.

I barely have time to upload the photos with the details that I must correct of painting.

Errors in the "clean" lines of the fringes; letters outline; circles, raised painting, etc. It is not much, but I must do it with care.
...The pictures...

So I left my workbench, I already sanded and painted the blue paint that was raised, ... I believe that tomorrow I can keep moving forward.

Greetings to all and have an excellent and (very) "muy padre" start of the week.

Looking good though.

 

[Airframes]

Really looking good, and it won't take too long to correct the minor flaws.

 

[Crimea_River]

With Terry. Muy fácil !!

 

[Robert Porter]

Excellent progress!

Nice work on the color markings. I find primary green to be one of those tough colors to spray uniformly.

 

[at6]

What shade of green is that?

 

[SANCER]

What shade of green is that?

Hi. thank you for coming to visit
It is the color Park Green of Tamiya (X-28)

 

[at6]

Thanks SANCER. That color is close to what I need to build a model of Clave's #165 in the Fantasy series. I have the model, decals, and his permission to to a model of it. I was having a problem with the green color.

 

[SANCER]

I'm glad to know. It is a direct color and it´ll be easier to approach the color you need. If is possible show us that figure, surely has interesting colors.
Greetings.

As I prepare the photos of the nose of the propeller, I share the result of the corrections I made to those details of painting.

I am already close to the process to apply the decals and I consider that I should have more glossy the surface to apply them.
I want to do it applying Future with my airbrush, what do you recommend that I can use that I dilute it to make it lighter and, if so, with what to do it?

Thanking in advance your comments and suggestions, I am in patient waiting.

I will also work on the masking of the rotating propeller to apply the yellow of the tips and the slight silhouette that also leave the marks of the blades.

Hasta pronto

I take the time to get a good finish on the nose of this famous Old Hog-Nose.
It is worth trying to give the best honors to this wonderful bird.

Based on several actual photos and the great combinatios of colors in the nose; ... of the options that I could see in the version I am making, I will make it metallic in its entirety, but with two different tones.
I decided on Alclad II.
I started by sanding and polishing as best as possible this little piece and after applying Primer, I polished it again as best I could.

Then as base primer, I used the same color Glossy Sea Blue 71.300 from Vallejo M.A.

Apply the first color of Alclad II ...

... once dry (not too long), I covered it with liquid mask ...

... and applied the second tone of Alclad II ...

I carefully removed the liquid mask and liked the result:

I hope you like it.

... that's all so far, ...
(regarding my question in the previous post), if anyone has a suggestion regarding the application of the Future and proceed with the decals, I am all ears.

Gracias y saludos.

Future dilutes easily with water. However I have never had need to dilute it just use low pressure light misty coats.

 

[Crimea_River]

Very nice L-C. As for the Future, there is no need to dilute it. Just shoot it straight from the bottle.

 

[Crimea_River]

Crossed posts!

 

[SANCER]

Muchas gracias Robert y Andy, now I have peace of mind and will use low pressure.
I will have to give a good wash to the airbrush (disarming it) to have no setback after the paintings of Alclad II

Saludos cordiales y gracias por su rápida respuesta.
Best regards and thank you for your prompt response.
(I understand the time difference for many friends in the old continent)

 

[Robert Porter]

Make sure you give it a good cleaning after the Future as well. Use water and follow with something like IPA Alcohol, or Tamiya X-20A to remove all traces. It dries clear so it is hard to see but it can coat the interior of the airbrush and then mix with the next paint you use which will yield unpredictable results.

Looking good Luis Agree with the others, I shoot Future (Pledge here in Australia) neat but it can dry and become viscous quite quickly in your airbrush so, as Robert has mentioned, make sure you shoot some Windex or water, etc through thoroughly straight after.
