Heres the other post, one post behind this one is about scribing etc, I forgot to take pictures during the yellow paint
oh well whats done is done
Here is the hard part.....marking everything off, both tail surfaces took me 7 hours each for the checker board
on one color (had to do black and silver)
Make an outline:
Cut it out and add it to the tail
Followed by ample amounts of crying and almost giving the model flight:
Other side:
This is how the yellow turned out:
Black and Yellow
Bottom:
Tail, I was surprised how well the light curing Tamiya putty takes the saw and scalpel well and paint
:
and other side:
Really loved painting this aircraft, it was hard hard work but it paid off, I'd rather not risk those Decal stripes, the paint gives it a lot of character
Here is the bottom side, I made another error on one of the lines there, so I took a photo pre-fixing it, I filled this (bottom line) with putty and sanded, and then re-scribed I'll take a photo later to show the effect
Final picture, apparently I forgot to add this one somewhere in the middle of the post
Today I spent the day painting the silver, unfortunately I forgot to take a picture of the completed taping
and yes again, 7 hours each side of the tail lol
You can kinda see why I stopped work on everything else to finish this beautiful bird
