An attempt was made at the exhaust stains. Tamiya Smoke doesn't seem to like being thinned. I went 1:3 with the air pressure at about 15psi and the paint came out like water. What you see here is about 1:1.

​

Good photos are hard to come by of white camo MiGs and from the odd one I could find that included the wings showed that there wasn't much weathering on the wooden parts of the wings so I will do a little bit on the leading edges when I get home. Have a good week gentlemen

Exhaust stains look pretty good from here.

looking good from here too Geo

 

[T Bolt]

I like what you did with the weathering George

 

[fubar57]

Thanks all. Decals will be quick, only 10 to put on...

​

....however, as can be seen, the fuselage star is a bit translucent. I've got two spares I can use to overlap these. I also used Tamiya Panel Liner - Light Grey on the metal surfaces which can be just made out on the upper cowl and left wing.

I like the look of that Geo, nice work.

 

[fubar57]

Thanks guys. Deecals are done and time to put on the sticky-outy parts.

​

I gave Vallejo Clear Matte another shot, this time shaking the bejaysus out of it and this time got a better result. I might airbrush it next time as I missed a few spots with the brush

​

Over-head shot showing the effects of the Light Grey panel liner. Hard to see but I left some on outside of the lines to show additional weathering

 

[nsmekanik]
