rom Posted April 10, 2008 Author Share Posted April 10, 2008 thanks guys!! concerning the weathering, all is in the paint process. First, i sprayed matt black not regulary.: Then sprayed hu85 black with a little revell matt black 9 on the edges and around the panels. I drew some traces from the vents too : After that, i sprayed lightened black in the middle of the panels, always in a not regular way. Some traces with dark grey. from the vents , on the wings, in some panels... I tried to do some variations with blue and brown... in order to break more the "overall black" effect but it's not very effective. Then, klir, decals and matt varnish i hope it helps!! bye Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Isaac Posted April 10, 2008 Share Posted April 10, 2008 Are the academy decals difficult to work with? They appear to have silvered a bit. I remember reading some gripes about the academy decals. Nice F-117. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
rom Posted April 10, 2008 Author Share Posted April 10, 2008 youre right Isaac... i had some troubles with the kit decals...but maybe i haven't sprayed enough Future/Klir.. But usualy, academy decals are not great... bye Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Voodoo man 101 Posted April 14, 2008 Share Posted April 14, 2008 thank you guys! thanks!i'm happy that you like it! happy to help too! bye Thanks for the how too. Unforutantly, I just sprayed it semi gloss black....It looks good but nothing like yours. thanks again. I was going to spray her aircaft interior black, then highlight with the semi gloss. Then I thought about it, and was going to reverse the process....opps! We'll see, hopefull semi gloss with the A/C black will help. Cheers Quote Link to post Share on other sites
