Quiddy Posted May 3, 2007 Share Posted May 3, 2007 Nice paint work. What did you do for the cockpit? Anything special or just out of the box? Wayne Beattie Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ChernayaAkula Posted May 3, 2007 Share Posted May 3, 2007 Always good to see Skyraiders! Especially if they're that well done! :blink: Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Jamie Cheslo Posted May 4, 2007 Share Posted May 4, 2007 Nice looking Sandys you are building. That Tamiya kit is a sweet one to build, for sure. Love your work. ;) Quote Link to post Share on other sites
David Walker Posted May 4, 2007 Share Posted May 4, 2007 The paint looks very good. One of these days I'm going to have to build one of those. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

David Walker Posted June 29, 2007 Share Posted June 29, 2007 That weathered black looks great. Very effective. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ChernayaAkula Posted June 29, 2007 Share Posted June 29, 2007 Wow. That black looks awesome! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
mkimages Posted June 29, 2007 Share Posted June 29, 2007 That's looking great . If you would, please share a little about how you achieved the faded black. As has been said, it's a great effect. I'm guessing that you used maybe a lightened black as a first coat and then spot covered with a darker shade? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
jimz66 Posted June 29, 2007 Share Posted June 29, 2007 (edited) Great looking Sandy, I have that kit and made a big boo boo. I wanted to use the decal behind the panel. So I was using my pottery trimming tool (I need a new one, mine is so dirty.) Anyway I wanted to cut out the instrument faces and then put the decal behind it. Unfortunately the panel craked on me and fell apart. I haven't looked at it since, but I think I might be able to fix it. If not I will reorder this tree to fix it. I just have to wait for more money. I really like the way that one looks. I thought that I wouldn't like the look of the black underneath but I do. It looks so different. Now if only the AF painted some F-4's like that or F-105's or A-7s etc. That would be cool. Zigi, I second the motion for pics of that cockpit. Got any?

Aggressor Supporter Posted June 29, 2007 Share Posted June 29, 2007 Nice build so far. Especially like the cockpit details and that it's the USAF version. Keep it up. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
