Lorebor Posted February 8, 2014 Share Posted February 8, 2014 Hi everybody, this is my last project; it's a Japanese F-15DJ, obtained from a Revell 1/48 F-15E. I used Aires exhaust, Quickboost seats and DXM decals... Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Lorebor Posted February 11, 2014 Author Share Posted February 11, 2014 I would love to see your WIP pics of how you converted the E to a D. cheers, Mike Sorry, but I didn't open a WIP thread; anyway, here are the modifications I made to the Revell kit; wheels weren't modified, even though the Strike Eagle wheels are a bit wider than the regular Eagle's wheels...

Mike C Posted March 24, 2014 Share Posted March 24, 2014 I'm building this right now in 1/72 scale, using Hasegawa's boxing. I'd be very interested in learning how you can achieve such an excellent paint job. What did you use for masking? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Lorebor Posted March 24, 2014 Author Share Posted March 24, 2014 I'm building this right now in 1/72 scale, using Hasegawa's boxing. I'd be very interested in learning how you can achieve such an excellent paint job. What did you use for masking? Mike, I first painted the underlying grey camouflage using the italian equivalent of Blu-tack... ...I then masked the panel lines with thin stripes of tape (it's a japanese pre-cut tape very similar to the tamiya one...i don't remember its name though...). The splinter camouflage was masked with thin stripes of low-adhesivity car masking tape... I first painted the sand patches... ...then the brown... ...and the black ones. I did it this way in order not to overlay any patch of color, since I didn't want to have any step caused by the thickness of the paint. I used Gunze acrilics thinned with Tamiya Lacquer thinner... Hope useful, cheers! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Mike C Posted March 24, 2014 Share Posted March 24, 2014 HOLY CRAP! That's A LOT of masking!! Thanks a lot. That's very useful info! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
