Hi all,
I'm not a well experienced modeler....... I appreciate being on this forum very much and I know a lot of you guys here are trully very skilled in this "way of life"...
Thus I ask you for your advices to poor young bloody Czecho [] What would you suggest me to do in this stage where my models are now. I know a lot is screwed up but I hope not all is lost.......[ ]
All are 1/72nd.
An old Frog model kit of Blenheim NF.
- How should I "dirt" up the panel lines? I scratched off the paint (white plast color shining thru). Should I follow Swanny's tut?
- Still needs to attach the canopy and wheels
-------
An old KoPro (Kovozávody - SteelWorks - Prostejov) kit of La 5-FN of Cs. independent fihgter regiment in USSR. This one has plenty of unaccuracies:
- the nose is quite turned to left (i did not nioticed that when I was gueing it...[8)])
- camo badly attached.....
- on the right underside wing, there's a field that don't intake any color - what's that? how to solve that?
-------
P-51B of Col. Dave Lee "Tex" Hill from the famous Flying Tigers Squadron USAAF in China.
- isn't the silver "flank-off" too heavy?
- the "potholes" underneath the green camo are caused by a bad result of Swanny's Salytiing method....
- still needs to attach wheels, canopy and proppeler
- i lost the rear wheel door so I scratchbulided them (my very 1st scratchbuild...lol)
NOTE: The pics are badly lightened - under my table lamp........
So, what would you advice me to do wwith these "beauties" LOL [] [ ]
Thanks,
Pisis
EDIT: I thought the pics gonna be enlargable - they're 800x600 originally.... Uff, what's wrong?
2nd EDIT: I think it's due I use FireFox.......
OK, why not.toffigd said:I think you should dirt up the panel lines, as in my opinion it doesn't look nice. They should be darker than the paint on wings. As the wings are black, leave the lines black as well.
With what should I take off the colour?toffigd said:The La-5... hmmm... it might be painfull, but the painting... hmmm... please - repaint it! Also I'm wondering if the blue paint should be glossy?
toffigd said:I can't see the pics of P-51, something is wrong with them.
